Turning Your Passion Into Your Business | Ryan Mosley Ep. 70

"Passion is energy. Feel the power that comes from focusing on what excites you." OPRAH WINFREY I'm sure you've heard the saying before... "Do what you love and the money will come." Unfortunately, a lot of times that's a whole bunch of bologna. The real saying should go like this... "Applying what you love to a system or structure of income will provide you with a life worth living." The key here is "A life worth living." You don't need to be rich. You just need to enjoy the life you live. A lot of us have passions or hobbies that we gravitate to. Whether it's videogames, comic books, horseback riding or street fashion, we all have something that pulls on our heart and intrigues the mind. What is that for you? Today's guest, Ryan Mosely, Owner of Varsity Goods in Greenville, SC knew what his passion was early. By the age of 25, he is the owner of his own storefront selling vintage goods, collectibles, designer sneakers, and some the best nods to pop culture this side of the Mississippi. Some may ask... How can you take an interest in old clothes, overpriced sneakers, and random junk and turn it into a business? Now, I can't speak for Ryan. But something tells me he would just smile and say, "you gotta understand the culture." Value can mean so many things to so many different people. Just like one man's trash is another man's treasure, the items of Varsity Goods is a curation of some of the finest treasures you didn't know you needed. Ryan's understanding of nostalgia, history, and the importance of connection is what sets him and his store apart from the rest. Take a listen to this week's episode as we discuss the culture of vintage clothing, rare sneakers and more. We'll break down some items you might want to get if you're just starting out. Also, we touch on why we think the vintage culture and the respect of old school icons are making a comeback.
