Cosmic Creativity, Halo Effect, Age of Black Design, Brand & Sneaker Science with 19 Keys & Sia C.

Merchandise Product Development Graduate and U.S. Coast Guard veteran Devlin Carter is best known as the celebrity footwear designer who customizes sneakers under his Oakland, California-based Fly Boys Couture Club (FBCC) brand. Devlin Carter owns Carpe Diem Fashion House at 1420 Broadway in Oakland, CA. Devlin started customizing sneakers in 1997 as a way to differentiate himself from others. After connecting with rapper and celebrity clients, he had made enough money to buy his own barber shop. After business stalled because of 9/11, he joined the U.S. Coast Guard where he served for 11 years. But he hadn't forgotten about his first love: fashion. He enrolled at FIDM San Francisco with a goal to network and learn as much as he could about the fashion industry. Fashion and footwear designer Devlin Carter's sneakers have blown up on Instagram. His unique style has gained the attention of thousands of people and celebrities all over the world. Carter is a product of the power of social media and has stated that he would not be as successful as he is if it weren’t for social media. Today, the self-made entrepreneur is dedicated to passing on his knowledge to the next generation. Inside Carter's Oakland showroom, you'll find his designs. But, upstairs on the weekend, a fascinating operation is underway. He's teaching kids how to sew. Due to the lack of arts programs in Black and Brown communities he decided to give them a creative outlet. His students are doing everything from bleaching shirts to distressing fabrics. Inside the class, you feel like you're walking amongst the future of fashion. When Carter was younger his mother sewed but he never learned until teaching himself later in life because he thought it was for girls. Carter is the definition of self-made. He designs his own samples, his shoes can only be found in his store, and says his sewing classes are all about passing on his blessings.
This episode goes high level into the conversation of our understanding of how Black creativity drives industries, plagiarism vs. influence, cultivating your design DNA, financing your freedom, recreating connections to the motherland, and overcoming the haunting of insecurities with rhythm, style, and grace.

Investing appropriately today can save you a whole lot of stress in the nearest future

[@cahillvolkan3186]

Quite impressive but HOW!!? 😊 I know it's possible my colleague at work got her first investment return of 50k, I would really appreciate if you show me how to go about it

[@awjelaf7554]

Life was hard for me until i started trading bitcoin with Mrs Charlotte and now i earn $ 19,450 per week

[@militarypersonnel7455]

I got Charlotte Junko Walsh recommendation on ABC News in August 2022 and started following her lead and made $25,650 in two weeks. I lost my job in March 2022 and right now I'm back on top again and always win with her guidance.

[@hafizfauzan3070]

Mrs Charlotte is the strategic trader that manager my account. She's really a professional i earn my first investing profit of €50k and she does not fail.

[@mohammedburaid1857]

I'm a living testimony ☺️, all this are truth!!!

[@AnnaFed015]

I'm in complete awe at how I went from living an average life to making over 63k per month. It's amazing. The financial markets are full with opportunities, but I've learned a lot over the past few years to doubt that. The key is knowing where to focus. Well appreciated, Rodger Michael Karl.

[@stanleyzac1648]

I've been able to scale from 63K to 210K in a short period of time. I basically was just following the steps and guideline from Rodger Michael Karl who is also my FA as long as you've professional help, you're good to go.

[@Windarti30]

Whoa, I just looked up his name on Google and saw his impressive resume. I consider myself lucky to have found this comment area.

[@WiolciaMrozowska531]

Thank you so much for the advice. Your coach was simple to discover online. I did my research on him before I scheduled our phone call. He appears knowledgeable based on his online resume.

[@CharlesBWillz]

Rodger Michael Karl truly has some excellent tactics. On my portfolio, I had weekly gains of over $27,000. Your capital actually determines your earnings.

[@ralfm-mg7oo]

I started with $5,000 and am currently making $34,300 every three weeks thanks to his trading program. Rodger Michael Karl's techniques are unmatched and extremely successful. search for his full name online.

[@shanab_]

I’m back watching this video for a second time. As a black creative & artist who values authenticity & originality this is so refreshing, confirming, and good information. I just might run this video back again for a third time, and take some physical notes to review from time to time.

[@Gunzz_didit]

Shana, I run as many of HLC as I can. Always worth it.

This interview inspired me. Didn't even feel like an interview. 2 men were just having an intellectual conversation

[@leonwilliams2184]

This is best show on television or social media. Not even close.

[@dropkickscustom9666]

One of the DOPEST interview’s of two brothers!! This video was so motivational and inspirational on so many different levels! I love my people! We Kings and Queens💪🏽🤎💪🏽🤎💪🏽🤎

[@amzijackson]

Maaaaan y’all brothers got me wanting to start making my own clothes!!! Great discussion! I’m not into clothing or design, but I know I’m always going to get some gems from these conversations and as an entrepreneur and music creator there’s so much I can takeaway and transfer to my area of business.

[@DroughtonLoyalty]

Hello, if you need anyone to help you with the urban designs. That's what I'm doing right now. I'm trying to find vendors but I have a good Eye for design I'm just getting back out here. Because when I was into that world. I had to take care of my kids. Now that they are 18,26, I'm ready to go. I've been designing different Pieces for them. Since they was young always had people ask me like I like how you look. I like how you put this together, I like what you got on. Where did you get this from? Where did you get that from not knowing? I used to make my own clothes. But did not have no idea about vendors until now.🤦🏽‍♀️🤔🤔😁🫶🏾👌🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@JusDhatStud]

The importance of being original in this message is uplifting! Another amazing High Level Conversation.

[@BAM9999PE]

This was so inspirational, and I'm back watching for third time. I'm so proud of you both. Thank you so much.

[@tiffanysabrinag]

During my morning prayer I asked Yah to direct me to watch something edifying for my spirit and purpose. This video came on randomly after something else I was watching and maaaaaan did the Most High come through!! I am a seamstress and this was everything I needed to hear right now. Much love to you brothers ❤

[@sliviasam7379]

Thank you for this wonderful video! I have incurred so much losses trading on my own....I trade well on demo but I think the real market is manipulated.... Can anyone help me out or at least tell me what I'm doing wrong?

[@dicksonclark3987]

Same here, My portfolio has been going down the drain while I try trading,l just don't know what I do wrong

[@cooperangel1481]

Trading with an expert is the best strategy for newbies and busy investors who have little or no time to monitor trade

[@johndavid8472]

I strongly advise you against self trading, it's really dangerous and had brought so many investors down, you need someone with the knowledge and strategies, someone dedicated to the crypto currency market business, and I will strongly recommend expert, Mrs Janet

[@cristinaaguilera1880]

YOU DON'T NEED TO BE SHOCK BECAUSE I'M ALSO A HUGE BENEFICIARY OF expert MRS JANET

[@jerrypaul2062]

Here in Texas Expert Mrs Janet carries out the both orientation and mentorship potentials

[@laurentebo1001]

The production keeps getting better and better 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 I see you on the runway Keys 😊 I love black designers keep creating never sell out frfr it’s bigger than the $$$

[@damepieper2163]

Its great to see my brother Devlin on here, believed from the jump, when you first painted the Air force 1's at Mom's crib. S/O 19Keys also

[@TrevorsLifeLessons]

This video has been such a mastermind group for me. I’ve been learning from both of you brothers for the past few years and for you two to come together and chop it up like this provides so much inspiration and value for the community. Education is the power. Thank you for continuing to teach us in a purposeful way with pure principles. You brothers are high level and highly appreciated 🙏🏽💯

[@roshawnmiddletonjr.]

[@sheilar5498]

Thank you for putting this conversation out; I am a former Leather Handbag Fashion Designer and have been to Fashion School. So it is a struggle for Black Fashion Designers.

50ms in sales on a 80k/year lifestyle with 0 paid advertising is insane. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

[@773juan7]

ICONIC HIGH LEVEL CONVERSATIONS

[@ricolaw1033]

Dope interview. I’m copping up! Never knew his brand existed but he’s got a new customer. Been on the site shopping while listening to this interview.

[@thomassanders7581]

We drive all of the industries. We are the battery pack. So freaking awesome. These are my thoughts. Ten years ago after reading for a year straight in fed prison for child support, I wanted to write a book, called Energy Economics. Focus drives the economy of you intentionally in the now. Either you take control of your potential, and future productivity, your mind, or someone else will. Im mixed, black and white. Sometimes I don't know what to think spiritually, when we devide, into races. I feel like sometimes we cling to our identity. Still, people are being reached, what you're doing is working. In the end when we all free ourselves, I don't want to have to look to my right and left and have to choose between black and white. It makes me cry to think of it. In the end your meat suit, it's just a suit, right? If I'm off, then I'll figure it out.

[@rashidsavage6806]

The clicking and clacking of his rings is nerve-racking. It's like someone going across a chalkboard with chalk .

[@darrellcroom3818]
