Episode#22- Love as a Business Strategy: Mohammad Anwar of Softway speaks with Oscar and Kiya Frazie

12/14/2021
In This Episode of The Couple-preneurs Show with Mohammad Anwar of Softway, we discuss: – Love as a Business Strategy – Softway’s Transformation (How as the CEO of Softway – Mohammad had to go through his own transformation to see a change in the culture of Softway) About Mohammad: Mohammad is the President and CEO of Softway. He started the business with his family at the age of 20 while pursuing his B.S. in Computer Science with a minor in Mathematics at the University of Houston. When Softway began in 2003, it was a small company that created websites for merchants in Houston. It has grown to a Business-to-Employee solutions company that offers Culture as a Service (CaaS) through its Seneca Leadership experiences, Culture+ Digital products, technology, and internal communication services for clients across the globe. The company has over 200 employees in its offices in Houston and Bengaluru. He is celebrated for creating and sustaining a humanity-centered culture at Softway based on the philosophy that love is a business strategy. However, there was a time when the company culture at Softway was so toxic that it almost caused the enterprise to fold. He took full responsibility for the problems at Softway and knew that, as the leader, he needed to change for the company to survive. After deep introspection, he eventually turned the company around. From this experience, Softway created Seneca, a product that helps other companies change their workplace culture. He lives in Sugar Land, Texas, with his wife Yulia, a five-time Olympic medalist spring-board diver from Russia, and his beautiful children, Sufia and Moshin. In his spare time, he enjoys fitness and watching college sports.

Episode#21-The Balance between Family & Business: Nathan & Chasity Brown of Daddy’s Girls Bakery speaks with Oscar and Kiya Frazier

12/7/2021
In This Episode of The Couple-preneurs Show with Nathan and Chasity Brown of Daddy’s Girls Bakery, we discuss: The balance of family when building a family business About Daddy’s Girls Bakery: Daddy’s Girls Bakery, a premier bakery with scratch-made delectable desserts, opened its first brick-and-mortar location in the 2021 B Reynolds Avenue development in North Charleston on January 1, 2021. They offer a selection of daily made cupcakes, cakes, Charleston Chewies, and other treats. Founded in 2011 by a local Charleston couple, Nathan and Chasity Brown, the concept started as a hobby when Mrs. Brown made her eldest daughter’s four-year-old birthday cake to rave reviews from family and friends. They next began baking Nate’s family recipe of Charleston Chewies. Selling to local salons and barbershops throughout the Lowcountry, the Browns quickly realized from the overwhelming positive responses that they had a talent with baked goods, and their bakeshop was born. They built up their client base before opening a kiosk at the Charleston International Airport, stands at various Charleston area Farmers Markets, and selling their baked goods at multiple events throughout the state. Mr. and Mrs. Brown also ran a booth at the downtown Charleston Open Air vendors market on Market Street and provided desserts for the inauguration of Charleston’s mayor in 2016. Chasity, who hails from Alabama and Tennessee, specializes in decorating elaborate cakes and cupcakes. Now, 10 years later with five children total (including two sets of twins!), the business has grown in all facets.
