We had the good fortune of connecting with Grace Hathcoat and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Grace, what is the most important factor behind your success?
Doing things that satisfy my interests as well as captivating others! If I am creating content of things that I thoroughly enjoy, while getting to explore and experience things in order to do so, then I am living my dream. The luxury of getting to share it with others via social media in a creative way is just the icing on the cake!

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I just put out content that shows my authentic life! I am insanely lucky that people seem to thoroughly enjoy it enough to want to see more!!

Nothing in life comes easy and handling the anxiety load of wondering if anyone would even so much as look at the content I put out was hard enough but I am really fortunate enough to have even peaked the interest of one follower, let alone thousands!

The biggest lesson I learned is that staying true to yourself will get you much farther in life both personally and professionally!
Once you’re following the grain and posting/doing/saying the exact same thing as everyone else because that’s what you think others want to see will show you less meaningful results and a much less sustainable following rather than a following that appreciates you as an individual and your interests/original content!

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Food Hot Spots – Gypsy Kitchen, Cooks & Soldiers, Rreal Tacos, Mosa

Drinks – Ranger Station, Garden Room , Jojo’s Beloved , The Blind Pig

Hang out – Your 3rd Spot, Puttshack , an Afternoon at Ponce City Market

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I would be nothing without my amazing family. Their unconditional support and endless abundance of love throughout my life and career thus far have truly gotten me to where I am today!

My amazing boyfriend, Sam, who is my biggest cheerleader that inspires me to keep creating and is with me on every single adventure, with many more to come.

And all of the individuals that engage with my content throughout all of my accounts, that watch and enjoy what I have to show the world and what I have to say! I would not have any of these opportunities if it weren’t for every single one of them!
