From entrepreneurship and hospitality to community-driven experiences, Nicole McSwain is creating opportunities for people to connect, express their creativity and make a meaningful difference.
Entrepreneurship is often described as a journey of building businesses, creating opportunities and pursuing growth. For Nicole McSwain, it is also about bringing people together, encouraging creativity and creating spaces where individuals can discover the value of their natural talents.
As Chief Executive Officer and visionary leader of The Rich Experience, McSwain is developing a faith-driven creative collective built around connection, inspiration and empowerment. Established in 2024, the organization brings people together through experiences designed to encourage creativity, strengthen community relationships and foster personal and spiritual growth.
A Journey Shaped by Diverse Business Experiences

Her experience extends beyond the corporate environment. Between 2015 and 2018, she served as co-owner of Soul Divine Cafe, a soulful restaurant in Orange, New Jersey. Her responsibilities included managing front-of-house operations, culinary activities, human resources, digital marketing and community events.
The cafe also became more than a place to enjoy food. Through community gatherings, block parties, fish fry mixers and a welcoming environment where local children could complete their homework, the establishment reflected McSwain’s interest in creating meaningful connections.
These experiences helped shape her understanding of entrepreneurship as something that can extend beyond commercial success and contribute positively to the surrounding community.
The Vision Behind The Rich Experience
Founded in 2024, The Rich Experience emerged from McSwain’s belief that creativity deserves opportunities, encouragement and a supportive community.
The organization curates events that bring together individuals from different creative backgrounds, including artists, musicians, performers and entrepreneurs.
Its experiences include Gospel comedy shows, dinner and dance mixers, football gatherings and women’s retreats. Each event is designed to create opportunities for people to connect, celebrate their talents and find inspiration through shared experiences.
Rather than following a conventional business approach, The Rich Experience emphasizes community, creativity and the freedom to explore different talents and interests.
Creating Opportunities Through Connection
At the heart of The Rich Experience is the belief that people can achieve more when they have opportunities to connect, collaborate and encourage one another.
Through its events and initiatives, the organization aims to create welcoming environments where individuals can share ideas, develop relationships and discover new possibilities.
This community-centered approach also reflects McSwain’s broader entrepreneurial philosophy: meaningful experiences can bring people together while encouraging them to recognize their own potential.
Looking Ahead: Empowering More Women and Creative Entrepreneurs
One of the organization’s upcoming initiatives is the S.H.I.N.E. Women’s Retreat, planned for April 2027. The retreat will focus on helping women strengthen their businesses, improve financial wellness and develop their leadership and personal growth.
Through workshops, speakers and opportunities for meaningful connections, the initiative aims to support women who are ready to take their personal and professional goals further.
For McSwain, the future of The Rich Experience is closely connected to its founding purpose: creating opportunities for people to unite, create, inspire and make a difference.
As the organization continues to develop its experiences and community initiatives, its central message remains clear: creativity has value, connection creates opportunities, and everyone has something meaningful to contribute.
