If you haven't harvested belt loops from old clothing to enhance new gear, do you even sew, bro?! LOL! Having "grown man" style doesn't stop just because you're not a suit-n-tie guy. Keep the two-piece Men's Warehouse joints… I'll customize my flow the way I see "fit." . . . . . . . #HVYCRWN by #RDQLUS… #WorthTheWeight #StreetNoble #apparel #gear #brand #designer #creativity #design #functional #fashion #style #accessories #custom #bespoke #kicks #shoes #earnyoursleep #TheArtOfStorytelling #ActLikeYouKnow . . . . . . .

We have seen the wealthiest most privileged of people pass away, death stripping them of all wealth and belongings. We have vilified pleasure as a frivolous pursuit for anyone less than ridiculously rich. Damn that. To quote one of my favorite songs, "I stay fly / til the day I die / cuz when I die… you know I can't take none of it with me!" Buy all of the kicks—especially the bright ones. Drive the foolish classic as your daily driver. Every now and again, choose burritos over kale salads. And always eat the donut! (Word to my bro, Aussie Steve!) Live life and enjoy all that it has to offer… not in spite of those who can't, but because you are blessed that you can. If I was out on this earth to worry and "woe is me" at the worlds troubles, then I have a lot of questions, because I'm not a bad person but apparently I'm doing it all wrong. *shrug* . . . . . . . #RDQLUS CREATIVE #HVYCRWN #CONNOSHOER #creativeconsultant #creativedirector #brand #branding #identity #designer #marketing #expert #creativity #design #functional #fashion #life #style #lifestyle #jetset #wanderlust #accessories #bespoke #sneakers #kicks #shoes #earnyoursleep #TheArtOfStorytelling #ActLikeYouKnow . . . . . . .

Trust, we classy AF! These men have never failed to hold me down as family. They made me all classy and sh*t… and ain't a damn thing changed. . . . . . . . #RDQLUS CREATIVE #HVYCRWN #CONNOSHOER #creativeconsultant #creativedirector #brand #branding #identity #designer #marketing #expert #creativity #design #functional #fashion #life #style #lifestyle #jetset #wanderlust #accessories #bespoke #sneakers #kicks #shoes #earnyoursleep #TheArtOfStorytelling #ActLikeYouKnow . . . . . . .

Meetings, conversations, family meetings, birthday parties, my kid acting crazy, random interactions; if you ever wonder what I'm thinking at any given moment… my entire thought process if translated into music form. #yep. #sorry and #yourewelcome, all at once. #thatisall . . . . . . . #RDQLUS CREATIVE #HVYCRWN #CONNOSHOER #creativeconsultant #creativedirector #brand #branding #identity #designer #marketing #expert #creativity #design #functional #fashion #life #style #lifestyle #jetset #wanderlust #sneakers #kicks #shoes #earnyoursleep #TheArtOfStorytelling #ActLikeYouKnow . . . . . . .

Maaaaan… the world is ever-changing! E-sports has the Barclays Center packed as the #Overwatch League championship is airing on ESPN! Wow! Y'all better stop saying this stuff is for kids and quit fronting on these heads.

"Kosher" is good… but I prefer "kosher AF!" Brisket cheeseburger, no sides, no regrets.

At age 8, I got in trouble for racing kids in the street in my church clothes after Sunday service. That next week, on the suggestion of a kind woman who didn't want to see me punished for having a gift, I was taken to the track to join a track & field team. By age 12, I was a national champion. By age 18, I had earned several scholarship offers. By age 20, I was a member of the US National team, a world-class athlete and named an "Olympic Hopeful." At the core of that was one person who stuck with me through thick & thin—even in moments and places my parents couldn't go; Bradley Frazier, my coach. He was a doctor at the Med Center who volunteered his time everyday to coach a team of misfit, disadvantaged kids to reach far beyond what statistics would predict. He was at the track everyday, getting his workout in before mine. Without him, there would be none of the accolades described above. I am still an athlete, and more importantly now I'm a coach & mentor, trying my best everyday to give someone a path to make dreams real, just as Mr. Frazier did for me. And since that first day, at 8 years old, I can't remember a day that I wasn't running around at my "church." So why would today be any different? #WeDontCoast… We Impact the lives of others everyday (or at least I hope & pray we do). #24hoursofimpact . . . . . . . #RDQLUS CREATIVE #HVYCRWN #CONNOSHOER #creativeconsultant #creativedirector #brand #branding #identity #designer #marketing #expert #creativity #design #functional #fashion #life #style #lifestyle #jetset #wanderlust #accessories #bespoke #sneakers #kicks #shoes #earnyoursleep #TheArtOfStorytelling #ActLikeYouKnow . . . . . . .

Digital or analog… you already know what it is. Hustle, my babies! Do lots of good things with the time we have, because we ain't getting it back. 🖤 . . . . . . . #RDQLUS CREATIVE #HVYCRWN #CONNOSHOER #creativeconsultant #creativedirector #brand #branding #identity #designer #marketing #expert #creativity #design #functional #fashion #life #style #lifestyle #jetset #wanderlust #accessories #bespoke #sneakers #kicks #shoes #earnyoursleep #TheArtOfStorytelling #ActLikeYouKnow . . . . . . .

Yesterday, in our session at the #OnBrand18 conference, @jenlandis16 recognized me by my bag—which is from one of my brands, of all things… this gave me all the feels! Thanks for giving her the heads up, @raymonna and proving that brand and storytelling matter! . . . . . . . #RDQLUS CREATIVE #HVYCRWN #CONNOSHOER #creativeconsultant #creativedirector #brand #branding #identity #designer #marketing #expert #creativity #design #functional #fashion #life #style #lifestyle #jetset #wanderlust #accessories #bespoke #sneakers #kicks #shoes #earnyoursleep #TheArtOfStorytelling #ActLikeYouKnow . . . . . . .
