More About The Show:
In this Driver's Ed episode of Dream Drive, Rana Campbell sits down with media executive–turned–founder CJ Harris, CEO of Guapify, for a live workshopping session on how to build trust, community, and impact from the ground up.

CJ shares her journey from growing up in the Bronx to spending 15 years at HBO and leading creative at BET—experiences that shaped how she thinks about storytelling, representation, and safe spaces. That background ultimately led her to create Guapify, a financial empowerment platform designed for Black millennials who want honest, culturally relevant conversations about money.

Together, Rana and CJ break down Guapify's evolution from a content curation site to a community-driven forum—often described as "the Reddit of Black wealth"—and tackle real founder challenges in real time. They explore what it means to build trust in a financial space, how to differentiate from social media "money talk," and why founders don't have to be the expert to lead with authority.

This episode is for anyone building a purpose-driven platform, navigating a pivot, or learning how to create community without pretending to have all the answers.
