Ted Clayton is the owner and founder of The Clayton Collection - maker of bespoke clothing, and the social editor of Nashville's Finest - Sophisticated Living Magazine. Ted and I go back to 2008 when I trained him at his home for several months. When I first walked in, I thought, "This guy's taste is not like anyone else's." Every wall, corner, table, chair, etc. was one piece of art after another. His style (and his one-of-a-kind personality) keep you on your toes and wondering what will be next.
I had the pleasure to sit down with him and discuss how he determined what he was passionate about and the path he has travelled to become the authentic creator he's been and still is today. Ted does not hold back and was not afraid to talk about his struggles and how his faith in God carries him each day of his life. Have you ever heard anyone say, "It's easy NOT to fail"? I hadn't until Feb. 22 this year, and naturally, Ted possibly coined yet another phrase I'll never hear anyone else say. Teddy...the one and only!
