Locked In: DeAngelo Watson on Focus, Failure, and Finding Your Lane | In Good Company

DeAngelo Watson got fired from his corporate job and turned his side hustle into a business funding company with a team of 10 and $20M+ deployed to small business owners. But it wasn't clean. He tried trucking, e-commerce, car rentals. He bought a Chicago quadplex that became a disaster with squatters and vandalism. And he spent years stuck at the same revenue because he was afraid of the responsibility that came with growth. In this conversation, DeAngelo shares what "locked in" really means, why the funding space isn't dead, and the inner work that finally unlocked his next level.

What They Don’t Tell You About Making It in Hollywood | Myles Bullock | In Good Company

Actor Myles Bullock grew up in South Central LA, went to school alongside the children of Denzel Washington, and stumbled into acting through a single college play that changed his life. Since then, he's built one of the most impressive resumes in Hollywood: Slick on BMF, Renzo in White Men Can't Jump, Willie Black across all 8 episodes of Peacock's Fight Night: The Million Dollar Heist alongside Kevin Hart, Samuel L. Jackson, Don Cheadle, Taraji P. Henson, and Terrence Howard, and now a series regular on the new Prison Break on Hulu. In this conversation, he gets honest about the reality between the credits: the 100-300 audition rejections for every booking, why only 1-2% of actors can sustain a living, why he's turned down roles that didn't align with his integrity, and why the biggest mistake we make is not giving ourselves permission to dream.

“If You Can See It, You Can Be It" | In Good Company | The Twintists

Great conversation with two of Charlotte's premier dentists. Dr. Lauren Rennick Lockhart and Dr. Lindsey Rennick Salone are identical twin sisters and co-founders of Dual Image Dentistry and Orthodontics. Three practices across Charlotte. Over 130K followers online as The Twintists. And a story that starts with a family where healthcare was the only language spoken at the dinner table. We talked about their path from UNC-Chapel Hill to opening their own practices, what it's really like running a business with your twin, how they built a content platform that actually connects with people, and why representation in dentistry still matters. They also told us about winning Family Feud with Steve Harvey, and yes, they had a strategy.
