In this special edition of the Now You Know Akron podcast, we catch up with Brent Wesley, owner of Akron Honey. “I wasn’t intending on it being a business,” Wesley said of getting his business started. “But then folks started figuring out what we were doing and saying, ‘Hey, can we get some of that honey? How much you selling it for?’” Akron Honey was featured earlier this year as part of the Beacon Journal’s ongoing “Focus on Black-owned businesses” series. The Now You Know Akron podcast will also begin to highlight entrepreneurs from this series on a regular basis, discussing the challenges for young, minority business owners as well as the variety of goods and services they offer to the community.
