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

Romell, appreciate you joining us today. Is there a heartwarming story from your career that you look back on?

I’ve deal’t with mental health issues my whole life growing up such as anxiety, stress, and depression just to name a few, quite often. Growing up in a broken home in the inner city of Kansas City, MO has had its challenges due to lack of resources and a structured family setting. I feel living under those circumstances, makes it harder for us as humans to be more conscious or aware about the severity of life in general growing up, which make it easier for us to develop such symptoms so often. I feel many people or families have been victim to these circumstances for years which is also why many of us can’t get over the “hump” of achieving financial freedom and breaking a generational curse. It has been a repeated cycle for many of us. Understanding that many of us come from different backgrounds of all sorts, some worse than others, I believe we all battle with the same if not different mental health symptoms. As we advance more and more each year with technology and other things, we become easily and more distracted from the total problem. All of this factors in us having the inability of reaching our fullest potential as a person, changing our perception of how we view life. With me understanding this, I started a clothing brand named ” Core Regime” which represents mental health awareness, something thats not spoken upon often. “Core” meaning, the central most important part of something and in this case I’m talking about the mind. “Regime” meaning, promotion or restoration of health. Core Regime is about redirecting and restoring the mind, or as I like to say, “Redirecting the central most important part of you”. I feel as if we consistently focus on understanding ourselves on a day by day basis, recognizing that everything in life especially personal development isn’t easy. Cutting out all distractions, we can achieve success and happiness in life and even greater, breaking the repeated cycle.

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

Let’s talk about resilience next – do you have a story you can share with us?

Ive realized that although there are benefits with certain creations, a lot of it is designed to distract us and keep us from working on our level of awareness which would changes and elevates our perception and values of things when it comes to dealing with life challenges. This definitely hasn’t been a smooth journey. With little guidance and direction, it’s been hard to keep focus. We live in a world thats rapidly changing and advancing with different programs, technology, and we’re seeing more and more jobs being created for many as well although many of us of this new generation do not really want to get out and work. The faster the world changes, more “greed” is being promoted. Everyone is about a quick dollar nowadays to where it’s becoming a norm and people are expecting and wanting change within there own personal growth fast as well and it’s not that simple. I’m not perfect so Ive fallen victim to this as well and the power of social media and other news outlets doesn’t help either. After graduating high school with having dreams of making it to the NFL, I was forced to go another route in pursuit of chasing the quote unquote “success”. I went to MCC Metropolitan Community College of Penn Valley where I took up construction management as my “plan B” and worked multiple jobs along the way. I probably only finished 1 and a half years of schooling before I was introduced to the physical side of construction. I worked as a non union labor for about another year and a half before I received a letter in the mail about joining the BAC Local 15 Union, where I learned to become a Union Journeyman Bricklayer. Starting out wasn’t easy. Being broke living with relatives, I sacrificed going to school and even quitting my job just to go through an 8 week training program where I was not paid and I learned the basic fundamentals of becoming a bricklayer. At the time I was focused on the money and the artistic side of being able to build something from ground up with my own hands which over the years I have enjoyed. After serving about 4 years as an apprentice bricklayer, getting familiar with the stress and ups and downs of being in the trade, I finally graduated and became a certified Journeyman Bricklayer in September of 2020. Filled with joy this was a great accomplishment for me, but nowadays I like to view it as a big stepping stone in my life as I have always been inspired and driven to want more out of my life. Ive never been the comfortable type of guy so Ive always seek and been intrigued with finding new ways of doing more with my life with no ceiling for a measurement. For the past few years Ive become more of an active entrepreneur while working my current full time job. From trying things that turn out to not work in my favor and thinking of many ideas that I never lived or sought out completely, to joining a network marketing type environment that I later quit, Ive struggled in trying to find my natch for being an entrepreneur. But with much desire and devotion of me wanting better for myself both financially and personally, a light bulb finally came on. I understood that with battling mental health issues throughout my journey Ive realized that I myself was stoping myself from being great by not, “staying tapped in with myself”, ignoring signs, and continuously falling into the same routine and habits that enabled me from prospering. Ive realized that a lot of us are facing these same challenges which led me to starting my very first clothing brand “Core Regime”.

What’s a lesson you had to unlearn and what’s the backstory?

All my life I’d considered myself to be an observer, a shy person, and every bit of a follower. I had a hard time finding my true Identity because I was always seeking to hang around people that I thought were cool. I wanted to be accepted by others so Id do things that were out of my character all just to be accepted and fit in. All of that came to an end when I graduated from high school and everyone went their separate ways. I was no longer able to lean on anyone else’s identity to hide my lack of identity so I had to learn, understand, and accept myself for who I am. All those years I was unable to grow and strengthen my thought out process which hindered me to reach my true potential as a person all because I was afraid of judgment of being accepted for who I was. I say all this to say that life is all about perception, your perception! At the end of the day you cannot live nobody else’s life but yours. So why spend time sacrificing your mental growth hiding behind people because of fear of judgment and acceptance when that’s not what’s important in life? Things like that can keep you stuck in life giving you no sense in direction when I comes to you becoming successful and find/understand who you truly are and what you are capable of.
