We had the good fortune of connecting with Kenneth Seals Jr. and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Kenneth, can you share a quote or affirmation with us?
“Always remember to keep going, failure is going to happen sometimes you can’t win them all, but you can learn from your losses and be prepared for your winning season”.

It means a lot to me it shows that to never give up at all, no matter what I face in life but to keep pushing. If things don’t workout for me the way I planned it to be, I know God got a better plan for me cause he sees a better plan than mine. Means to keep having faith in myself, even when it’s rough out in my mind, business, and life. Eventually it’ll be a blessing coming around the corner with my name on it all I have to do is keep working and be patient with God’s timing and his timing is perfect. What makes me like about it cause it motivates me to remain focused and don’t think about the things that I can’t control but to keep going and remember that it’s always a better plan, a new blessing, and it’s going to be a new day that might be a new opportunity for me.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
What makes set apart from others is that I check “details”. Like the small details of the Suit, I check for fabric, color, accessories like lapel pins, ties, and etc. Just want to make sure that the suit is perfect, and also my clients are happy with their suit. I’m proud that I kept working on it because it wasn’t easy at first, it’s things I had study about and setbacks that made me feel like it wasn’t gone planned out at all for me. Doubting myself that it wasn’t going to be reality and no one will ever book me to be doing anything. It’s crazy for me to be doubting myself when I had others see the potential in me and I was giving up on me letting my mind playing tricks on me. I overcame my challenges by being able to be more active, confident, and productive in my daily routine of working on my styling skills. To keep working until I get it right and reach the point where I can be more satisfied with my work. You really see a man who doubted himself and think it wasn’t gone be worth the wait, a man thought that his vision wasn’t gone be fulfilled and that he could never be in this position, but that man didn’t give up he kept working hard for his dreams and he didn’t quit. You’re looking at a man that build his business from the bottom and then elevated like no other.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
It’s several places like for a drink, eat, and vibe. I like the The Hope Farm it’s more of a place where you can go enjoy the scenery, the drinks, and good food. Truly amazing place to be in town for some good food and drinks. Bistro St. Emanuel is the same way as the Hope Farm it’s a vibe you wouldn’t regret. Ruby Slipper Cafe, Squid Ink, and Spot of Tea is for the Brunch vibes I feel like it’s good to me.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I will give a shout out to my older friend name Ra’shod Nicholas who wanted to see me change the way of fashion in my generation. He really seen the vision before me and wanted me to basically standout from others, and I really appreciate him cause if it wasn’t for him to mold me to change my appearance and prepare myself as a man I wouldn’t be in the position to have this successful business at all.
