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

Hi Calvin, how has your perspective on work-life balance evolved over time?
I work a regular job now so my business has been on hold but I try to always make pieces to show that I am still working. For personal reasons I just try to make pieces for my brand page when I have time because life isn’t where I want it to be right now and its pretty hard to maintain my business through this pandemic.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I am still perfecting my craft, I am still working to gain notoriety and expose my brand more so I wouldn’t say I am successful just yet. I come from literally nothing and this is my escape from that and I try to make my pieces as expressive as possible. I’ve learned that it isn’t easy and it will break a person mentally but it is worth it because that hard work makes you stronger. I want the world to know that I am a regular person, a regular face you have probably seen plenty of times but my work ethic is not regular. I know my worth and I strive to get better and be the best me I can be.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I am currently staying in South Florida so it would be definitely the beach. I would also recommend a few food spots, not too many but the ones I would recommend they would totally love them.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
Shoutout to my brother from another bloodline Dex. He showed me the ways to creating product and the entry level entrepreneurship that I needed. His instagram is @aoseverything we work together and I call him whenever I need help or have an idea and he definitely lets me know if I am going down the right path. I also would like to just thank all my friends who support me, there is too many to name man they all know who they are we are a team.
