We had the good fortune of connecting with Jabari Arthur and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Jabari, career-wise, where do you want to be in the end?
The end goal is to expand our business and bring BeenOfficial Juices to the masses so we can continue to promote good health to our community. Possibly a chain of juice bars in the future where we can not only provide beneficial juices but also a platform or workspace for creatives.
Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
So BeenOfficial Juices is a home based business that serves cold pressed fruit and vegetable juices. Each individual juice is beneficial (BeenOfficial) in some type of way providing our customers with the proper vitamins and minerals naturally. We run our business all while maintaining our corporate jobs as well. It’s definitely been a challenge trying to find balance with our jobs, business and family but we’ve been making it happen. One lesson that I’ve learned is that it costs to be the boss.
Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
One of my favorite spots to hit is the Edgewood District. Harolds Chicken and Ice Bar is one of my favorite spots in the city. Of course The Trap Music Museum is mandatory with music being a passion of mine. When it comes to shopping, Lennox and Perimeter Mall are my top picks. They both have a wide variety of stores. I’m pretty low key and I don’t club but Suite Lounge is definitely a nice spot to catch a vibe. My go to late night spot is Metro Diner Cafe off of Andrew Young Blvd. Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I would like dedicate this shoutout to my wife and business partner, Shamim Arthur. She introduced me to a healthier lifestyle and plays a major role in our business. Once she started to make smoothies and incorporating more fruit and veggies in our diet I decided to start juicing for us both. Shortly after I launched this home based business. Thanks to her for the spark!
