We recently connected with and have shared our conversation below.
Alright, Dee thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. Can you tell us the backstory behind how you came up with the idea?
I came up with the idea of Next Leavell Inspiration during the pandemic. We were a couple of months into the pandemic, shut-in, unable to socially interact, and quickly entering a state of depression. I was in dire of a source of positivity and encouragement to uplift my spirits and get myself out of the negative state of mind I was in at the time. I figured if I was in need of uplifting and encouraging content surely someone else out there needed it too which led me to post inspirational content on my social media accounts. Shortly after that, I reconnected with a high school friend, and that connection revived an idea I once had for creating and selling inspirational t-shirts. T-shirts that felt good and looked good and brought that person superpowers whenever they wore it. It’s like whenever they wear our Next Leavell Inspiration apparel I want it to boost their attributes (mental toughness, courage, faith, hope, empowerment, toughness, etc). Fast forward a few months and 3 Inspirational concepts later Next Leavell Inspiration is born.
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
My name is Dee Leavell founder and owner of Next Leavell Inspiration. As far back as I can remember I’ve had a passion for coaching, inspiring, encouraging, and helping others be great. I’ve been blessed with the ability to see the potential and greatness in others when they don’t see it, and the ability to help them get there. This passion and interest pushed me to create Next Leavell Inspiration so we can help others ignite the greatness within them and to help them accomplish their goals and goals they thought they could never accomplish.
We create inspirational content (emails, videos, social media posts, journals, etc) and inspirational apparel to help encourage and inspire our audience to be great. Nobody on this earth was born to be average, but we’ve accepted the fact that being average is okay (heck no it’s not). We’re here to encourage and inspire those who need inspiration and encouragement. We’re here to help those who are struggling to push through tough times. We’re here to help people turn their test into a testimony. Next Leavell Inspiration is the inspiration you need to get you through the tough times.
Is there a particular goal or mission driving your creative journey?
To inspire and ignite greatness in everyone we connect with. We at Next Leavell Inspiration believe greatness is within everyone, but unfortunately, a great number of people die without ever tapping (or fully tapping into) their greatness. All those great ideas and greatness have to go untouched for whatever reason, and we want to help people ignite their greatness to help them reach their full potential.
Any stories or insights that might help us understand how you’ve built such a strong reputation?
My passion and consistently showing up and posting uplifting and encouraging content. Being genuine and true to our market.
