Welcome to the PE-CPI Index Podcast — where culture meets capital, and every dollar tells a story.
This isn’t just another business show. We’re here to decode how the money we spend shapes power, opportunity, and progress across the African American community.
The Cultural Pulse Index — or CPI — tracks how companies earn, invest, and return trust. We measure who’s aligned with the culture and who’s just cashing in.
Each episode, we’ll break down brands, spending trends, and cultural influence — with data, real talk, and perspective. You’ll learn how the everyday purchases we make can either strengthen our communities or strip them of value.
This podcast will educate, by revealing the hidden economics behind culture; entertain, through sharp stories, honest conversations, and live cultural analysis; and inform, by keeping you ahead of the brands shaping — or missing — the Black experience.
So if you’ve ever wondered where your money really goes — and what it says about us — you’re in the right place.
Welcome to the PE-CPI Index Podcast.
Because culture isn’t just influence — it’s economics.
