Welcome to The Introspektiv Podcast. A series of insightful conversations where aspiring individuals reflect, engage, and share their journey. For most of us, majority of our lives are spent hustling & bustling, with little to no time for stillness. Here, we dig deep on what the pursuit of happiness really means, and what often gets in the way, of unlocking our greatness. In this episode, we sit with Founder & Creative Director of our Southern Gents Brand, Fola Lawson.

We talk about teamwork, financial freedom, being black in business, parenting, how the S-Gents brand came about, and sacrificing almost anything, to find your true heart desires. Our very first episode, but one you certainly don’t want to miss. Let us know what you think of the topics in this episode below, and don’t forget to hit subscribe!
