What happens when two creative souls meet, click, and decide to build something real together? On this episode of The Real Connect Podcast, Tamika Carlton sits down with Jeffrey Taylor and Roy Carey, the authentic force behind the rising fashion brand Jeofroi.
We get into the heart of how their fashion partnership was born from a college connection to building a brand rooted in loyalty, admiration, and vision. This episode is full of laughs, real stories, and gems for anyone dreaming big, building brands, or seeking deeper partnerships.
We talk about:
Why authentic partnerships create lasting success, how to build a fashion brand with purpose (and not lose yourself in the process), and the real truth behind working with someone you love and admire.
📌 Key Takeaways:
1. Be yourself and build from there.
2. The right partner elevates both the vision and the vibe.
3. In fashion and life, it’s all about staying grounded and connected.
This one’s for the entrepreneurs, dreamers, and creators who know that connection is the real flex.
🖤 Let’s get into it.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
