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

Hi Cedric, what habits do you feel helped you succeed?
Always learning and practicing are two habits that are a very important part of my success. Being a student of your craft will take you further than you can imagine. I am forever studying and researching different avenues of my business. Once I learn something new I continuously work on it until I am comfortable with the results. I take pride in my work to achieve the best quality possible.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I feel like being optimistic is one thing that sets me apart. I try to have the mindset that everything I make will be something that is unique, special, and memorable is someone’s eyes. Getting to where I am today professionally required a lot of sacrifice and discipline. The road is never easy but it’s always about how you deal with things. There are so many things that tried to discourage me but I learned that it’s just certain things that come along the road to success. You just have to get a understanding that tomorrow will be a better day. I take pride in my work and the way I conduct business to ensure that at some point I made a difference in someone’s life.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
First I have to give credit to my wife. She plays a huge role in the ideas and creativity that I have the opportunity to bring to life. Also my parents. They have definitely instilled in me a work ethic that is a great part of my success. My sister is instrumental in making sure I keep all of my business tight and in order. Most importantly my grandfather who has always been a hard worker and has instilled the spirt of discipline that is applied to every aspect of life.
