The 9to5 Entrepreneur: The Realities of the Journey with Reese Alexander

So... Let's Talk About It Podcast

In this episode, hosts Malcolm and Brittany Garrison welcome Reese Alexander, a luxury fashion designer from Columbia, South Carolina, to the show.

Reese shares his inspiring story of building a successful luxury clothing brand while working a full-time job in Atlanta. He sheds light on the challenges he faced and the strategies he used to overcome them, including balancing his work and business commitments and finding the right support system. Through his story, Reese demystifies the notion that you can't build a profitable business as an entrepreneur while working a job.

Reese's journey to building a successful brand started with a move to Atlanta seven years ago, to follow his dreams and pursue his passion for fashion. Throughout his journey, he has experienced successes and failures, but he's grateful for the blessings he's received and the lessons he's learned. Reese's story is a testament to the power of hard work, determination, and perseverance, and he's here to inspire others to chase their dreams, no matter their circumstances.
