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

Hi Marcus, how do you define success?
Well first success varies from person to person. For me personally, success is setting goals and reaching those goals no matter how big or small.

Please tell us more about your work. We’d love to hear what sets you apart from others, what you are most proud of or excited about. How did you get to where you are today professionally. Was it easy? If not, how did you overcome the challenges? What are the lessons you’ve learned along the way. What do you want the world to know about you or your brand and story?
Well being a model I think what makes me stand out is not being afraid to try new things. I pride myself on being able to take criticism and grow from it. Along this journey I’ve learned that stepping out of your comfort zone cause make some fire work. Also being eager to try new thing fuels others to want to work with you. So don’t be afraid to jump out there sometimes.

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?
If you follow me on social media you see I go to ALOT of coffee shops. So I definitely take people to coffee shops, like Black Coffee in Fort Worth for example. I also really like breakfast food so I would take people to a couple brunch spots.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
First and foremost I have to give thanks to God for blessing me with these opportunities I have received. In addition I want to thank Black Dandies for introduction to this world of fashion and really teaching me the in’s and out’s of it. I also want to thank Vite Media for show so much love and giving me countless opportunities to grow.
