In this episode of the Attractive Mindset Podcast, we sit down with Calvin Brewton, the Miami-born founder behind Championship Swagger and King of Kings Beard Brand — two fast-growing lifestyle brands rooted in confidence, faith, and perseverance.
After earning All-American status and a full ride to FSU, Calvin’s athletic dreams were derailed by a devastating knee injury. Instead of giving up, he used that setback as fuel to build his own empire — transforming pain into purpose and confidence into commerce.
They unpack:
- How to rebuild your identity after sports or failure
- The psychology of momentum & self-belief in business
- Turning a single product (hats) into a luxury lifestyle brand
- The power of organic marketing and emotional branding
- Why adversity is the foundation of every champion’s story
Watch now to understand what it truly means to live with Championship Swagger.
