Will Sharp is the founder and creative director of the menswear clothing line Durkl. I wanted to have Will on the show to talk about starting a clothing line from scratch and how he's managed to stay independent for almost 10 years. We talk about the ups and downs of a creative life, being proud of where you are from, and much more!

Highlights:

His origins in Washington, DC

Starting Durkl in his parent's basement and thinking he could get rich quick

Urban Outfitters being the first retail store to purchase Durkl shirts

Taking risks with designs in streetwear and separating Durkl from the pack

Wanting to help shape Washington's creative community

His new restaurant in DC, Maketto
