As a child, I was enthralled with history and biographies. I struggled in Math and Science, but one rainy Friday, my 4th grade teacher pointed out I was good in History and my life changed at that moment. I decided that day I would major in History. So that’s what I did 9 years later, I entered university in Washington, DC to study History- a continuation of learning and analyzing people’s lives and decisions. I interned in the US Congress, at The White House, and for NGOs; and volunteered on political campaigns, and worked in the city after graduation. But moving to London to study for my Masters changed my worldview. I’ve lived in 9 countries and have found myself in a completely different arena: fashion. Over the past 6 years, I have developed an eye for couture craftsmanship, learning how to put intricate and detailed collections into words. As a result, I have developed relationships with some of the world's most leading brands, covering Paris, Milan, New York, and Riyadh Fashion Week shows. I also have a faith and lifestyle magazine, Seele that I founded. I decided to launch ‘The Soulful Side Of Life,’ an amalgamation of my experiences, where I interview people in areas that have touched my life in: fashion, faith, entertainment, music, business, and entrepreneurship. The podcast is an extension of my interests in discussing people’s stories.

Episode 12: Hunter Clowdus, Grabbing Life By The Horns

 
 

Hunter Clowdus always seems to be in a happy mood and also loquacious. He’s always smiling in interviews, or on his YouTube channel- heck, even his character on All American is jovial most of the time. I could be wrong, but I can imagine his grade school teacher having to constantly say, ‘Mr. Clowdus, stop talking.’ I didn’t ask him if he was a talker in school. But point is, he’s outgoing and has joy. Maybe this comes from his Christian faith, where we aren’t always happy but we can always have joy.

In addition to this joy, Hunter has this old soul thing about him where he oozes wisdom, and he seeks to impart that to those around him. He drops these one-liner nuggets where he’s able to articulate out mindsets and behaviors that people need to have for the success they’re trying to reach.

In this interview we talk about success and some of those wisdom nuggets, faith, his clothing line, and briefly his TV show on the CW. For someone still so young he has accomplished quite a lot, but he doesn’t boast about having obtained it all yet. In some ways it’s as if he’s just getting started.
