We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Kalvin Spells . We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Kalvin below.

Hi Kalvin , thanks for joining us today. So, let’s start with a hypothetical – what would you change about the educational system?

What I would change about the education system is some of the unnecessary classes that are required. Speaking on behalf of the education system in Texas, if we can take health in 7th grade and learn about sex education then we can definitely make a class mandatory that is centered around Real life. Some of the things that the class would entail would be field trips to a bank to talk about the importance of financial education, have a therapist come in and speak about mental health, how to file your taxes, understanding the housing market and a lot more.

Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.

I entered the clothing industry during Covid. At that time i was going through a lot mentally and physically, the thought of starting a business wasn’t even on my mind. One of the things i like to do is write in my notes and during this particular time a lot of writing was taking place. I remember the exact street I was on when my clothing line idea sparked. I immediately started putting my words into action because the way everything was unfolding was so natural. The name of my clothing line is k-n9nefitness. You may be wandering why did I select that name and it’s because in college my swim teammates used to call me k9. Mental health and fitness are the two components that drive this idea, the dri fit fitness clothes just so happened to be the visual representation. Our vision and mission statement is to transform the renewing of your mind through fitness and wellness. All our clothes are dri fit and we have both men’s and women’s clothes.

One of the things I’m most proud of is the perseverance through this whole process of being an entrepreneur. This by Far is not an easy endeavor but if you remember your why it will carry you through. I want our future clients and followers to know that your current circumstance is not your final destination.

We often hear about learning lessons – but just as important is unlearning lessons. Have you ever had to unlearn a lesson?

A lesson that I had to unlearn was how to take risks. Most of us are taught to go to school get good grades and then go get a good job and work until your retirement age. We are taught to go take ownership in something that somebody else has created which eventually puts a cap on our own individual greatness. I encourage you whoever is reading this to take that leap of faith and create something for yourself.

Any stories or insights that might help us understand how you’ve built such a strong reputation?

The two things that have helped me build my reputation is really staying humble and authentic to myself. My clothing line is a visual representation of how I live my life and two important things that have helped me along my journey are fitness and perspective. Once you change your perspective everything around you changes.
