Drew made me motivated…

Drew made me motivated to continue with my clothing brand. He made me feel a real sense of accomplishment. At the time when this photo was taken, I was truthfully in a rough place and wasn't feeling great about where I was in life. 

But Drew always complimented my brand and said how impressive it was and how many compliments he got.   These small comments made by a true friend really motivated me to not only continue with the brand, but try other ventures as well (like the one that landed me at my current job). 

While these words came out of Drew naturally and likely didn't mean a lot to him... they really held a lot of weight with me. I still think about it to this day, every now and then he would just randomly say how impressive it was and it always gave me a confidence boost. He has gotten me out of many ruts. He has also truly broadened my perspective and in a sense has 'taught me how to fish'. His positive attitude helped reframe my focus multiple times - from being in a bad place, to reflecting on the good that has happened recently.  I often vented to Drew about not being good enough and he would always put it into perspective for me and give me a much-needed breath of fresh air. 

 I really could not have asked for a better friend and I am so grateful to have ever known him
