The Collective is more than an apparel line – it is a community of aspiring and current stock traders and entrepreneurs whose hustle is just as strong as their passion.
This community of Narrative Changers views their 9 to 5 as a bridge and not a destination and are on a relentless mission to position themselves to stop solely fulfilling someone else’s dream and instead fuel their own by serving the world in the ways that they have been uniquely chosen for.
