We’ve all done it — kept a little too much stuff that we just couldn’t part with, but didn’t know what to do with either. Then something happens and we’re suddenly willing to PAY someone to just take it all away.

We’ve all been there, and Josh Rainey has known more than a few people who have been there too. He’s local co-owner and Business Development Manager of JunkLuggers of Charlotte, a junk removal company with a soft heart and a green mind. Welcome, Josh!

Stereotypes aren’t good for anybody, and usually the best way 
to dispel them is to start a conversation… and present something different.

Our guests on the BrandBuilders Podcast didn’t like the way young African-American men were being portrayed in popular media, and set out to present — even create — a different picture. That’s how Tammy and John Martin started the Young Black Leadership Alliance, and it’s making a difference.
