Meet Tiffany Tillman | CEO, Entrepreneur, Urban Socialite

We had the good fortune of connecting with Tiffany Tillman and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Tiffany, other than deciding to work for yourself, what else do you think played a pivotal role in your story?
Other than working for myself the single most important decision I made that contributed to my success was deciding to try various business ventures and not be ashamed to do so. When the pandemic hit and I was laid off from my job, it definitely gave me some extra time to try some new things. I think sometimes we become extreme reliant upon our day to day jobs that we forget about the fun things we enjoy doing for leisure or money. I’m a firm believer that entrepreneurship isn’t for everyone and there are a lot of people that loves their 9-5 job, and its nothing wrong with that. Just don’t forget including the activities that doesn’t feel like work but they bring a sense of peace and pride to your life. This is something that I do often, one because I’m a curious person, but two, I’m still learning about me, and exploring new skills sets is helping me do that.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
Jacole’s Life Coaching & Resource Center is a multifaceted venue located on the Westside of Macon. When I opened Jacole’s August 2020, I never imagined it would become a resource to so many black entrepreneurs, artists and talented people. Primarily my goal was too utilize the building to host camps, workshops and meet with clients for life coaching. However, Jacole’s became so much more then that! I think what set me apart from others is my audacity to implement and execute the ideas I have and be proud of them with 5 people or 50 people in attendance. Right now one of the things that I’m most proud of is Platinum Crown Management and the rappers/artists that I manage. I don’t know how I got here but I’m glad I came along for the ride. and I feel honored to be trusted to oversee someone else’s career. I’m going to say that managing artists is easy for me because it doesn’t feel like work, it has really became second nature and somewhat of a hobby. The lessons I learned the way about both of my businesses is too not take lightly or downplay my abilities and talents.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
If my best friend was visiting the area, I would take them to Brookhaven for some adult music and lovely lounge scene on Friday night. On Saturday morning, I would take them Vibes Bar and Grill for Brunch. Later that evening we would hit Overtyme for a fried fish platter and hotwings. On Sunday, I would cook dinner and we would chill at the house eat food and watch the game. During the week, we would hit up a couple of bars for a class of wine. I would most likely host an event at Jacole’s to showcase my artists, maybe on Wednesday night.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I hardly ever publicly talk about my aunt Dorothy Chambliss “Patty” as she was lovingly called by her close friends and family. I would like to dedicate a part of this shoutout to her. She was a driving force behind my craving for successfulness. She was a militant woman, with a fondness for books & learning new things. I spent a lot of time with my aunt at my grandmother’s house growing up as young child and teenager. The two of them would keep me afterschool, while my mom was at work. She would constantly talk about my school work and “picking up a book too read” but she also talked about being a young lady that people could admire, love but respect as well. My ability to cook on the grill using charcoal and not gas, I credit to her, my straight to the point demeanor was definitely one of her attributes. My aunt became sick with cancer and died literally a month after I finished high school. She wasn’t going to leave, until she saw me walk across that stage. Losing her was tremendously painful to me as an 18 year old still maturing and as a result I didn’t enroll in college that following semester, I stayed home and worked but soon realized I wasn’t keeping up my end of the deal. Since then I have completed multiple degrees and pursued certifications on all levels.
