We had the good fortune of connecting with Calvin Maxie and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Calvin, do you have any habits that you feel contribute to your effectiveness?
1. Continuous learning: Always willing to be a student & understanding that i don’t Know everything. The more knowledge and skills im able to learn the better I can become at my craft while staying up-to-date with the industry im in.
2. Having strong faith- believing in God has played a major role in my daily habits, reading daily scripture, and trusting him with everything I do because we all know this can be a rocky road lol.
3.
Discipline and consistency: Being disciplined and not giving up when the road gets tough. Having resilience and following through with commitments, staying focused on long-term success rather than short-term gratification, rather its in the gym, business, creating content, family etc.
4. Networking and relationship building: Not being afraid to ask for help from peers and building a strong community of people to either help them or to connect with other in my field of work. Collaborate with like-minded individuals to leverage opportunities and support your success.
5. Healthy habits and self-care: Staying devoted to working on my mind, boy & soul. It helps me rejuvenate and relieve stress while maintaining proper sleep, and mindfulness practices that help me stay energized, focused, and balanced in both personal and professional life.
Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I am a Content Creator from Detroit, Mi. And I generate and publish original material, which can include articles, blog posts, videos, podcasts, artwork, photography, music, or any other type of media that can be consumed and enjoyed typically through digital platforms such as websites, social media, or video-sharing platforms. What sets me apart from other creators is my originality, consistency and Dedication, my passion for it & my unique perspective and voice.
Im most proud of the influence I’ve had on people and my community to want to do your very best at anything you do. If i can help one person a day that keeps me motivated. Ive meet many different people with such great stories and this has allowed me to open up and experience life a lot more with a passion and purpose.
I got here today but not giving up and o using on what was in front of me. Yes it has been very challenging but what in life isn’t. Ive learn to balance life and business the best way i can and stick to my core values and morals.
Ive learned many lesson along this route and still till this day Im still learning but one major lesson I’ve leaned is to keep my eyes on my own road. Every time I try to do what someone else is doing it never worked. So by me continuing to stay focused and present on whats in my lane I can’t get distracted.
I’ve been through a lot in my life but I never gave up on myself, times got tough and i often wanted to throw in the towel, but I knew one day all of my hard work was gone pay off. I dust myself off patched my wounds and restarted as many times as needed. My brand speaks to Individuals who’ve overcome obstacles and persevere through life challenges. Once God turn you up ain’t no turning back.
Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Some of my favorite spots around Detroit are 1. The RIVERWALK located in downtown Detroit, 2. Have a nice dinner at Stoney River . 3. Listen to some nice live music (jazz or r&b). Detroit has some of the best summer time event going on around the city for kids, date nights, lounges and family fun.
Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
Definitely have to shout out to God for even allowing me to be apart of this amazing platform. Huge shout out to my girlfriend Shelby who’s not only my accountability partner but someone who’s motivation & drive is unmatched. My mom for being my rock and always standing behind me whether im right or wrong & everybody who’s supported my dreams and goals from day 1.
