When life delivers its hardest blow, most people retreat. But Joi-Lin Hunt chose to rise—and now, she’s helping women do the same. A seasoned attorney, serial entrepreneur, and business strategist, Hunt is more than a mentor. She’s a living, breathing reminder that you can start over—and thrive.
After 20 years of running successful brick-and-mortar businesses across industries—from law and taxes to hair and automotive—Joi-Lin’s world was upended in February 2022. Following a violent domestic incident, she fled her home with nothing but her son and her strength. Her husband had not only attempted to take her life, but also stripped their bank accounts and locked her out of all their shared businesses.
“I had to start from scratch,” she says. “No money. No plan. Just a will to survive and provide for my son.”
Rather than give in to the devastation, Joi-Lin Hunt turned to the one thing no one could take from her: her experience. Armed with an iPhone and a lifetime of entrepreneurial wisdom, she began offering business tips on social media—honest, no-fluff insights from someone who had built seven-figure businesses the hard way.
That was the beginning of The Firm Credit & Business Group, a business consulting brand focused on helping entrepreneurs—especially women—legally launch, fund, and grow sustainable companies. Through mentorship programs, step-by-step courses, business challenges, and a thriving online community, Joi-Lin empowers women to rebuild after crisis.
“I’m not here to sell dreams,” she says. “I’m here to give women real strategies they can use to reclaim their lives and income—because I’ve lived it.”
What makes Joi-Lin different from the average business coach is her unique blend of legal and entrepreneurial expertise. A graduate of Southern University Law Center with a Master’s in Tax Law from SMU, she combines her attorney mindset with real-world business success. From founding the multi-million-dollar Super Weave Xpress franchise to co-owning Hollywood Motors and launching Hollywood Insurance and Collision, her resume is as diverse as it is impressive.
But it’s her comeback story that resonates most. Through her “See You At the Bank University” and her 5-Day Business Challenges, Joi-Lin creates a space where women feel seen, supported, and equipped to rise. Her mission is simple: to help women get “unstuck,” whether they’re new entrepreneurs, struggling founders, or survivors starting over.
“My story isn’t just about business,” she says. “It’s about resilience. It’s about taking your power back.”
Joi-Lin defines success not by profit margins, but by impact. “If I can help one woman realize she’s not alone—that she can still win after loss, abuse, betrayal—that’s the legacy I want.”
For women entrepreneurs seeking clarity, confidence, and community after life knocks them down, Joi-Lin Hunt isn’t just a mentor—she’s a lifeline.
