I just released a new episode of my TV show, Style Minute, where I show viewers how to tie and wear scarves. What I like about scarves is that they are versatile and can be worn even when the weather is warm. Check out the episode below:
Out with 2009 and in with 2010 – I really think this year is going to be the best yet!
Before I get too excited and start daydreaming about what’s to come in 2010, I’d like to take a moment to reflect on highlights of 2009:
I launched my own online TV show called Style Minute in April (it has since been featured on a talk show that is broadcast in one billion households worldwide – talk about going global!)
My wife and I celebrated our 4th year of marriage (she is my best friend!)
2009 saw the opening of my first office (outside of the house) for my clothing company, Apparel & Co. We do everything from custom screen printing, embroidery, and design for well known brands like Wrangler, McDonalds, Adidas, etc. Businesses, schools, events, retailers, and churches also rely on us to make them look good.
I launched my other company, Style University! Style University focuses on empowerment, self-esteem, and self-confidence through our live, interactive tour we call Style U. We focus on image & style, public speaking, and etiquette.
I met some really cool people, got to travel the country, spend time with family and friends, hosted some innovative events, and so much more!
If 2010 is anything like 2009 then I can wait to get started! Thanks again ‘09 – you’ve been great!
I’ve been acting professionally since 2001 and recently was able to add the title of producer and host to my ‘resume’. I love being on stage doing live theater and equally enjoy the “hurry up and wait” culture of television and motion pictures.
This category is dedicated to sharing the videos, photos, and stories of what I do in front of and behind the camera.
Apple. BlackBerry. Cool. Technology is all around us and is something that I get excited about. I spend countless hours researching the latest gadgets, computers, social networks, and cell phones. Best Buy is one of my favorite stores. I guess you can say I’m addicted to technology and its advancement.
Often times I run across really savvy products that push the envelope and are worth sharing with my friends; I plan on commenting on those products in this category.
You’ll soon get a better sense of how passionate I am about technology – I’m like a kid in a candy store. Seriously.
Simply put – my life is all about style and fashion! The last year has only validated the role that fashion plays in my life as I launched my TV show, Style Minute, and went on to amass over 60, minute long episodes. Since I pay close attention to new brands, new trends, designers, sales & deals, and everything in between it’s only right that I write all about it. This category is dedicated to just that.
Stay connected and be sure to check back for updated style-related posts.
It’s often stated that the language of music is universal and without bound. My taste in music includes artists from various decades and genres; I guess you can say I like it all. I especially enjoy discovering new artists and following their career from the beginning.
Whenever I run across a song and/or artist that I like I’ll post it in this category. Feel free to recommend some of your favorite music as well.
There are a lot of things that I am inspired and motivated by (e.g. quotes, proverbs, successful people, stories of survivors). My plan is to write about and comment on what resonates with me the most. I enjoy being inspired and plan to be an inspiration to those I come in contact with.
Community service is very important to me and I’ve recently launched my own non-profit, A Care Project; I’ll definitely share our projects with you here in this category.
Make sure to check back often. Let’s inspire and be inspired. Let’s motivate and be motivated.
I experience a lot of great things in my life and often want to share the really big moments with my friends. This category will allow me to do just that.
When anything happens that is newsworthy, exciting, monumental, or just something I want you to know about then I will write about it in this category. Stay tuned!
Hosting and speaking in public is a gift that I’ve been blessed with and it comes natural to me. I currently host my own TV show, Style Minute, and will be launching a new show soon. I’ve also hosted pageants, step shows, fashion shows, talent contests, and speak on subjects relating to business, inspiration and motivation, fashion and style, and personal branding.
My hosting and speaking opportunities take me all around country and allows me to meet some really amazing people. Connecting with individuals from all walks of life and being able to share my gifts with them are experiences that I hold close to my heart.
I will share each and every moment of my hosting and speaking engagements in this category. You’ll see pictures and read all about the journey. I look forward to giving you a peek inside my life as a host and public speaker.
I’d love to speak and/host your event! You can shoot me an email here if you’re interested.
I’ve been an entrepreneur practically my entire life. It seems like I’ve done just about everything from cutting grass to dressing up like a Power Ranger to owning my own apparel company. Every experience has taught me something new and taught me how to be a better CEO.
I currently own three companies: Craig Stokes Productions (CSP) – produces my TV show, Style Minute; Apparel & Co (produces the My Vote Counts, Sisterhood, and Cool Classics apparel lines); and Style University (consulting company and the live, fashion-oriented college tour).
I’m interested in various types of businesses and love to read about and discuss the latest trends, products, companies, etc. The business category will highlight everything about my companies and those that pique my interest. I invite you to join in the discussion.
