Build Black Show | Business Growth & Entrepreneurship

**Title:** Doctor’s Orders: Vaccines, Wellness & Entrepreneurship with Dr. Monique May **Subtitle:** A board-certified physician talks vaccines, nutrition, preventive health and turning medical expertise into a wellness business. On Episode 25 of **The Build Black Show**, board-certified family physician and Physician In The Kitchen® founder **Dr. Monique May** joins us for a wide-ranging conversation about health, wellness, vaccines, nutrition, entrepreneurship, and ownership. Dr. May has more than two decades of clinical experience and has expanded her expertise far beyond traditional medicine. She is a bestselling author, speaker, culinary-trained physician, media personality, and entrepreneur who has built the Physician In The Kitchen® brand around helping people make healthier food and lifestyle choices. We get into the conversations many families and entrepreneurs are having right now: How do we make informed decisions about our health? What should we understand about vaccines? How much does nutrition matter? And how do we separate credible medical information from the flood of health claims we encounter every day? Then we switch lanes into entrepreneurship and discuss how Dr. May turned her knowledge into intellectual property, books, products, television and a health-focused business. It’s **health, wealth, wellness and ownership** in one conversation — exactly where The Build Black Show lives.

You built the company — but have you actually protected your ownership of it? Attorney Scherrie L. Prince joins The Build Black Show to reveal overlooked business structure and operational red flags that can put entrepreneurs, their assets and even control of their companies at risk. In this episode, we examine the legal side of entrepreneurship that many small business owners don't think about until there's already a problem. Scherrie discusses business structures, LLCs, partnerships, ownership agreements, contracts, intellectual property, asset protection and the operational decisions that can create unexpected vulnerabilities inside a growing company. What happens when business partners disagree? Does forming an LLC automatically protect you? Are your ownership documents and agreements actually protecting what you think they are? And could the way you're operating your company create problems later? This episode is essential listening for entrepreneurs, founders and small business owners who aren't just trying to start a business — but want to build, protect and retain ownership of something valuable. Episode 24 of The Build Black Show explores an important side of wealth building that doesn't get talked about enough: It's not enough to build it. You need to know how to protect it.
