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

Hi Samuel, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
Starting my own business was really about recognizing an opportunity and wanting to create something meaningful on my own terms. I’ve always had a mix of curiosity and independence, and I realized that working for myself would give me the freedom to shape my vision.

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.
This journey hasn’t always been easy. Being an Instagram influencer is often misunderstood. From the outside, it might look like perfect photos, sponsored content, and a curated lifestyle—but behind every post is strategy, creativity, resilience, and real connection. It’s not just about likes or follower counts—it’s about building a community, sharing value, and inspiring others through authenticity. Whether it’s fashion, travel, fitness, lifestyle, or personal growth, my goal has always been to create content.

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?
I will take them to see the TCU Football / basketball them I will find a good place to eat at in the fort worth stockyards. The most fun and live place to eat and drink also live music.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
Success is rarely a solo journey. We all know that the path to where we are, and where we hope to be, is often shaped by the guidance, support, and love of others. Whether it’s the steady encouragement of a mentor, the inspiration found in a life-changing book, or the collective efforts of a team, these influences play an invaluable role in our personal and professional growth but I get a ERIC THOMAS he’s a good Motivational speaker.
