Meet Travis Wilder: Serial Entrepreneur

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

Hi Travis, what habits do you feel play an important role in your life?
I feel that being a former college athlete has helped me tremendously in my entrepreneurial journey. A lot of the traits that I learned from being a college basketball player have translated over to my business. Team Work, Discipline, Time Management, and Hard Work are just a few that correlate between being an athlete and running a business.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
God Got Me is a lifestyle brand that reinforces the fact that no matter what life throws your way, you can rest in the fact that GOD always has your back. The brand was started by two long time friends who wanted to create a brand to promote God fashionably. Both growing up as PK’s (Preacher’s Kids), God has always played a major role in both their lives. Cornell Mann and Travis Wilder brainstormed the idea and came up with the brand name “God Got Me”. They quickly trademarked the name and got to work. Once they came up with a logo design, they reached out to manufacturers and began the background work. They bought their domain, created their website, and began to market it. Now, they are growing everyday.

They will have a full apparel line to cater to people of all ages. “We want to create a movement where it doesn’t matter what race or gender you are. We are pushing Love!”, said Mann. The two man team have big plans for the brand. “We plan on making the God Got Me brand a household name. We want people to fashionably display their Faith in God. Especially in the dark times that we are living in, it’s important for people to keep the Faith and know that the rain may be shining now, but the Sun will definitely shine again.” Said Wilder.

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?
Greektown in Downtown Detroit, Flood’s Bar and Grill, Sweetwater Tavern, and the Sports District where the Detroit professional teams play. There are a lot of cool new restaurants and nightlife to check out in that area. Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
My business partner Cornell Mann is a close friend, but more like a brother. We bounce ideas off of each other daily. I oversee the day to day operations, but he and I speak everyday about goals, future plans, and other ventures that we plan to pursue.
