EPISODE SUMMARY

 In this episode of Black Businesses Matter, we speak with Dice Granberry, Co-Owner of Blue Aura, a trucking company founded in Chicago by Dice and his wife.Dice discusses the powerful influence of mentorship in his life, starting with his father, who instilled in him the importance of manifestation, resilience, and continuous learning. His father’s advice to seek a mentor led Dice to connect with Scott Stewart and others, guiding him through his journey of self-development. The conversation also touches on his time in AmeriCorps and Public Allies, programs that helped hone his leadership and business skills.

Dice reflects on the entrepreneurial lessons he’s learned from observing street hustlers and local business owners in his community. His mantra, "skills pay bills," highlights the importance of learning valuable skills, whether through formal education or hands-on experience, to build sustainable businesses.

Dice offers a unique perspective on generational wealth and the importance of creating a family legacy. He talks about establishing a trust for his children and putting structures in place to ensure that his businesses can thrive even after he’s gone. His vision for the future includes scaling his trucking company, Blue Aura LLC, and continuing to explore his creative talents in music and film, including his upcoming project, Rino, which aims to educate viewers on credit and financial literacy
