Part 2: Brent Mitchell, founder of #ThisTestimonyThough...Live To Inspire

What services or products do you offer/manufacture?

– We sell everything in Christian based fashion. Hats, t-shirts and hoodies! We’re debating on launching some new items this fall like leggings and tunics.
How do you advertise your business? –

Most of our success has been from word of mouth and social media campaigns. We also get stopped and asked how to purchase merchandise when we’re wearing it.
What are your company’s goals? The end game for me is to develop a nonprofit that’s able to contribute resources to needy communities in my hometown. I’ve committed my mind to building an education center in my hometown in my grandparents name before I die so I got a lot of work to do. I also want to help kids go to college debt free. Student loans are the new slavery!

If I only knew then what I know now….

What was your favorite class in college?
This is an easy one school of law. I love to envision myself as an urban school activist lol. I get calls all the time from friends asking how they should handle school related issues. Hopefully, I’m giving them good sound legal advice.

To what do you attribute your success? Failure and Family…… I’m thankful for not always succeeding on the first attempt. It makes you appreciate something you work hard for. My family is so supportive of everything I’ve ever pursued so I’m really blessed to have them in my life and I never want to disappoint them.What motivates you? Ironically Failure and Family….. I refuse to accept failure. If it’s meant to be, God simply wants you to do it another way and sometimes God says no. If everything came easy in life it’s hard to appreciate blessings. It’s harder to build character and virtually impossible to develop faith and you never get to witness how awesome God really is. 

I pray that my kids grow to understand this because they’ve really been blessed.

What is your biggest pet peeve? Seeing someone waste their gifts or not share them to help other people.
What was the worst piece of advice you ever got? Really can’t honestly think of any. I take bits and pieces of what people say and make decisions and I stopped letting foolish folks have my attention a long time ago. My discernment is pretty high so I tend to trust my instincts.

What was the best piece of advice you ever got? “Trust in the Lord” – enough said!!

Do you help the community?
 Absolutely. We do a lot. We’re active in church and I’m usually coaching a sport depending on whatever season it is. The biggest project we did this year was our first ever #ThisTestimonyThough toy drive. We were able to donate about $500.00 worth of toys to W. W. Bushman Elementary School with the help of friends and family. I’m so proud of this because we’re new to DFW area.


We have a family tradition of volunteering every Christmas before our kids open any gifts. We also partner with various organizations to do back to school drives for needy kids. Lastly, we send random shirts to people (Pastors, Cancer survivors, High school graduates, etc). From day one I professed that #TTT was more than a t-shirt, we helping some folks. I was raised to be a giver so I’m always looking to be a blessing to someone. I feel like that’s the only way I’ll get blessed.

Who would you most like to have dinner with?
Hmmmm…..Just a big dinner with some family and friends always works for me. If it was a public figure, definitely, the Obama’s I would love to their thoughts on the world in general.

If you had one piece of advice to someone just starting out, what would it be?
If God gives you a vision to launch your own business make sure you have all of you pieces in place before you launch the brand (website, inventory, logos, business cards, etc). This lets everyone know that you are really starting a business. Also make sure you connect to someone that is successfully doing what you want to do. Listen to their advice and ask what mistakes they made in the beginning and what they would change.

It is my pleasure to tell you about the miraculous signs and wonders that the Most High God has performed for me.-DANIEL 4:2
