Team Human Clothing: Human Fest

As our brand grows internationally, we are continuously finding ways to become more involved in our community and take action towards the betterment of society. As many of you may already know, we are releasing a new clothing brand called Team Human. In our mission to impact the world through Music, Art, Fashion, and Action, we are bringing all these elements together and hosting Human Fest at Mercy Lounge on Tuesday, November 5^th.

Human Fest will be the official release party for Team Human clothing. Team Human Clothing melds fashion and charity by donating a portion of each sale to local charities. Team Human’s mission is simple: Make it cool to make a difference. Human Fest will feature a charity raffle of limited edition Team Human merchandise signed by members of the Tennessee Titans and Nashville Predators. Proceeds from the raffle will be donated to the Nashville based charities CarryOn Records and Linda’s Hope.

How To Live Before You Die

Some of us fear it and some of us face it; either way, death is the only destination that we all share in common. Not every one embraces the thought of death, but it’s something that we can’t avoid. Since we can’t avoid it, we might as well embrace death as one of the greatest inventions known to man. As members of The Yacht Club, we encourage you to live your dreams and treat everyday as if it were your last because there’s a possibility it just might be. We recently watched Stanford University’s commencement ceremony where Steve Jobs, former CEO and co-founder of Apple and Pixar, gave a powerful speech titled, “How to live before you die.”

During this speech, Jobs urges us to pursue our dreams and see the opportunities in life’s setbacks, including death itself. He shared inspirational stories of dropping out of college, getting fired from Apple, and surviving cancer. He gave a narrative of how he turned his failures into success by constantly following his dreams. He teaches us how to strategically “connect the dots” and make the best of any and all situations. He encourages us to find what we love and do what we love, and by doing so, you’ll have all the motivation you need to succeed. Jobs notes that the key to satisfaction is never settling.

Jobs asked himself every morning, “If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I’m about to do today?” If your answer is ‘No’, it’s time for a change. Not only is our time on Earth limited, but we only get one chance at living. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way to avoid the trap of thinking that you have something to lose. Jobs taught us that if we don’t have the courage to leave our shores, we’ll never have the opportunity to discover new land. And for that, we salute you!
