Who is Paulo Calle?

Many Entrepreneurs are "Slept On" as is said in street lingo. Mister Paulo Calle is a clear example of one of the many talented foreign youths that has been able to successfully undergo several large life transitions and ultimately rise victoriously. This Bolivia native currently resides in Los Angeles, California where he recently has launched a new line of streetwear. Quite a large step, wouldn't you say? 

But this is not the first time Paulo undergoes this step. Back in 2010, with a group of friends that he met at The Art Institute of California- San Francisco, Paulo was one of the founders of The FREEDMINDS, a streetwear brand which rose through the ranks and obtained recognition through various Rap artist endorsements. Their company's mindset, "Build Pyramids" enabled them to expand rapidly. Paulo since then has "Dropped" his new line RARE PANTHER. After working as the marketing director for Freedminds, he felt it was time to independently begin his own brand. As of October 15th he has accomplished his goal and is currently selling on HYPEBEAST.com.

Our Interview:

So many accomplishments have been met by Paulo, and thus I wanted to know more about the man behind the name. What he thought of himself, his Entrepreneur background, and what the future held in store for him. On October 27, Paulo and I were able to finally talk, and thus I was able to take a sneak peak into this mans life...

After long hours of conversation I was able to narrow the list of characteristics that have allowed this man to be so successful. Yes everyone, I have found the keys to success and they are as followed: Drive, Passion, Creativity, Determination, Positivity, Charisma, Empathy, Focus, Philosophy, and Succession Planning. 

Paulo has had a drive to better himself from a young age. He claims that being from another country gave him a different outlook on life, the type that makes one ambitious and passionate. He was always determined to succeed and it was his focus that allowed him to accomplish so much. I was told in the interview, "You must remain positive through all the different ups and downs that you face" something to keep in mind whenever starting a new business. All and all I felt as if this interview really allowed for me to better understand Paulo and understand that with the right set of characteristics one can accomplish whatever one desires.
