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

Hi Javon, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
The goal was never to create something that would make me quit my 9to5 lol that’s to much paper work. I wanted to create something that reminded everyone, they are good people in this dark work.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
I am the co-founder of a men’s organization called The Foundation. We focus on mental health and confidence for all male age groups starting at 8 years old. We sponsor sports or after school activities and focus on being a role models to anyone who needs it.

I also run a western base merchandise line inspired by my family roots of indigenous natives called Morningstar Ranch.

And lastly I am apart of a wrestling podcast called Behind The Pyro

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Right now I love Dog and Duck located in Summerville, SC. You can’t beat the prices on food or drinks. But if your looking for an experience you can find me starting my days at the family own Stripe Pig Distillery, then singing my heart out Bangkok karaoke lounge downtown Charleston.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I want to dedicate this to my late granny, Olinda Mitchell. She was the incubator to me becoming an affective business leader in today’s world!
