We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Malcolm Worthy. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Malcolm below.
Alright, Malcolm thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. Often the greatest growth and the biggest wins come right after a defeat. Other times the failure serves as a lesson that’s helpful later in your journey. We’d appreciate if you could open up about a time you’ve failed.
I moved to Los Angeles to continually pursue all of my passions in entertainment. I was playing in a Mecca semi pro league game in February 2023 & tore my acl & meniscus. In the moment I thought everything was over & my dream of playing pro basketball or being in action films was all but over. It’s been over a year since I had surgery to recover and even though I’m not back to where I was just yet, I’ve recovered a lot further from where I came. In the meantime I’ve been working on music, scripts, & my fragrance business. Really just trying to do anything to stay busy and keep my mind off the fact that I’m not where I want to be but I’m probably right where I need to be.
Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.
I have 2 businesses, a fragrance company called Few Worthy & a production company called 1STRANGR. They’re both still growing as we’re looking to launch more products & host events in the upcoming year!
Few Worthy is a lifestyle brand I started to encourage people to cultivate an environment for growth for themselves and others.
1STRANGR is in the process of developing scripts & preparing to film more long form content. We also love short form content so we stay involved with as much content as we possibly can!
Can you tell us the story behind how you met your business partner?
I met one of my main business partners, Sean Bruce, in Virginia while in high school. He is a big help to everything we’ve been able to accomplish here at 1STRANGR. He brings a sharp keen to detail like no other & elevates everything he’s attached too.
How did you put together the initial capital you needed to start your business?
Everything I started with my own money that I saved through working. Learning how to make strategic investments that will pay off in the long run is my strategy. Also as I get older I’m valuing direction more than speed more than ever. Sometimes we have time metrics that could blind us and knock us off track if we’re not carefully calibrating our core.
