We had the good fortune of connecting with Fallon Michael and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Fallon, what is the most important factor behind your success?
For me, it’s sustainability. I am solely sustained by my relationship with The Lord. That being said, self discipline is also vital! I thrive with structure. As a freelancer, I intentionally set aside time to go do my work at coffee shops – knowing I’m much more efficient there than I would be at home. My level of productivity determines my level of “success.” The more I do, the more I learn, the more I grow, the more I become.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
My favorite thing to do is strategize. I also have leadership capabilities [like nobody’s business] from growing up in a large family. LOL. So marrying those two together to offer social media consulting has been such a fun avenue for me. What sets me apart is my knowledge as a consumer, a millennial, a customer service specialist, copywriter and professional photographer. That combination of experience makes for a magnificent cocktail that tastes like gorgeous photos, surprising captions, relevant content and a captivated audience. I want everyone to know that THEY have something to offer. You. You have such a unique voice, so don’t try to sound like everyone else! You have a unique story, unlike any other. Tune into that. THAT’S where the gold is.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Oh man!! We would definitely start with the list of FORTY-TWO local (Fort Worth) coffee shops I keep in my phone. My dream is to one day have a website where people can find and review ALL of them in one place. #coffeeloversunite After getting our caffeine fix we would HAVE TO grab the world’s best tacos from Salsa Limon, and take a stroll down W. Magnolia while we’re there. FROZEN CUSTARD at Andy’s will make you never satisfied with regular store bought ice cream ever again. Hahah. My favorite Fort Worth skyline view is found from a secluded spot in the Tandy Hills Natural Area which makes for the perfect picnic opportunity so my best friend and I would spend hours there catching up over bottles of kombucha. Then we’d go hangout with my amazing community of friends & family at Mercy Culture Church – where everyone is WILDLY in love with the presence of God and unashamedly pursuing it!

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
The Holy Spirit will always be the biggest reason for anything good in my life. After Him, my mama. She’s made countless sacrifices for me my whole life and I’m so grateful for it! My family of seven siblings + in-laws + etccc is the best support system and my favorite cheerleading squad.
