The KNEW Era Podcast: S2:E3 | Woman Built Birmingham’s Beloved Food-Tour + Travel Business
Welcome to The KNEW Era Podcast—where real talk meets wisdom, humor, and growth. 🎙️ In this episode, I sit down with Comedienne Joy (Cassandra King) to unpack her powerful pivot: leaving the wrong marriage, trusting God, and building Birmingham’s beloved food-tour + travel business (two party buses, a Sprinter, and international group trips—whew!).
What we cover
* The difference between Joy (the brand) and Cassandra (the banker)
* Why the wrong marriage is “ghetto,” and how she found peace & purpose after divorce
* Starting stand-up in 2004 and turning laughs into bookings & a business
* The origin story of her party-bus food tours (5 restaurants in 4 hours!)
* Leveling up into travel: fam trips, relationships with resorts, and curating the right vibe
* Boundaries, systems, and “pick your hard” entrepreneurship
* Why using a travel agent saves time, money, and stress
