Today we’d like to introduce you to Romell Moore.
Hi Romell, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
I started the brand, “Core Regime” because I deal with mental health issues such as anxiety, stress, and depression just to name a few, quite often. Growing up in a broken home in the inner city has had its challenges due to a lack of resources and a structured family setting. I feel living under those circumstances, makes it harder for us as humans to be more conscious or aware about the severity of life in general growing up, which makes it easier for us to develop such symptoms so often.
I feel many people or families have been victims of these circumstances for years which is also why many of us can’t get over the “hump” of achieving financial freedom and breaking a generational curse. It has been a repeated cycle for many of us. Understanding that many of us come from different backgrounds of all sorts. Some are worse than others, but I believe we all battle with the same if not different mental health symptoms. As we advance more and more each year with technology and other things, we become easier and more distracted from the total problem.
All these factors in us having the inability of reaching our fullest potential as a person. With me understanding this, I come up with the name ” Core Regime” which represents mental health awareness, something that’s not spoken upon often. “Core” means, the central most important part of something, and in this case, I’m talking about the mind. “Regime” means, the promotion or restoration of health. Core Regime is about redirecting and restoring the mind, or as I like to say, “Redirecting the central most important part of you”.
I feel as if we consistently focus on understanding ourselves on a day-by-day basis, recognizing that everything in life especially personal development isn’t easy cutting out all distractions, we can achieve success and happiness in life and even greater, breaking the repeated cycle.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
This definitely hasn’t been a smooth journey.
With little guidance and direction, it’s been hard to keep focus. We live in a world that’s rapidly changing and advancing with different programs, technology, and we’re seeing more and more jobs being created for many as well although many of us of this new generation do not really want to get out and work. The faster the world changes, the more “greed” is being promoted. Everyone is about a quick dollar nowadays to where it’s becoming a norm and people are expecting and wanting change within their own personal growth fast as well and it’s not that simple.
I’m not perfect so I’ve fallen victim to this as well and the power of social media and other news outlets doesn’t help either. After graduating high school with having dreams of making it to the NFL, I was forced to go another route in pursuit of chasing the quote-unquote “success”. I went to MCC Metropolitan Community College of Penn Valley where I took up construction management as my “plan B” and worked multiple jobs along the way. I probably only finished 1 and a half years of schooling before I was introduced to the physical side of construction. I worked as non-union labor for about another year and a half before I received a letter in the mail about joining the BAC Local 15 Union, where I learned to become a Union Journeyman Bricklayer.
Starting out wasn’t easy. Being broke living with relatives, I sacrificed going to school and even quitting my job just to go through an 8-week training program where I was not paid and I learned the basic fundamentals of becoming a bricklayer. At the time I was focused on the money and the artistic side of being able to build something from the ground up with my own hands which over the years I have enjoyed. After serving about 4 years as an apprentice bricklayer, getting familiar with the stress and ups and downs of being in the trade, I finally graduated and became a certified Journeyman Bricklayer in September of 2020.
Filled with joy this was a great accomplishment for me, but nowadays I like to view it as a big stepping stone in my life as I have always been inspired and driven to want more out of my life. I’ve never been the comfortable type of guy so I’ve always sought and been intrigued with finding new ways of doing more with my life with no ceiling for a measurement. For the past few years, I’ve become more of an active entrepreneur while working my current full-time job.
From trying things that turn out to not work in my favor and thinking of many ideas that I never lived or sought out completely, to joining a network marketing type environment that I later quit, I’ve struggled in trying to find my natch for being an entrepreneur. But with much desire and devotion of me wanting better for myself both financially and personally, a light bulb finally came on.
I understood that with battling mental health issues throughout my journey I’ve realized that I myself was stopping myself from being great by not, “staying tapped in with myself”, ignoring signs, and continuously falling into the same routine and habits that enabled me from prospering. I’ve realized that a lot of us are facing these same challenges which led me to start my very first clothing brand “Core Regime”.
Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
I’m a founder of a clothing brand I’ve started called “Core Regime”. My brand represents mental health awareness. “Core” means, the central or most important part of something, and in this case, I am talking about the mind. “Regime” means, the promotion or restoration of health. Core Regime is about redirecting and restoring the mind, or as I like to say, “Redirecting the central most important part of you”.
I feel as if we consistently focus on understanding ourselves on a day by day basis, recognizing that everything in life especially personal development isn’t easy nor fast, cutting out all distractions, we can achieve success and happiness in life and even greater, breaking generational curses and obtaining financial freedom. As an advocate of mental health awareness, I am inspired and driven to promote, educate and provide a more welcoming approach to bringing awareness to individuals by embracing similar mental health challenges we face through clothing.
My goal is to encourage the affected audience to not only recognize these familiar issues many of us suffer from in some form or fashion but to also take action! Redirecting the mind focusing on yourself and the activities or things that you enjoy can help keep you balanced and in a more positive, passionate state of mind, improving the odds of you reaching your full potential.
My slogan, “Stay Tapped In with Yourself”, is the recipe to the personal change or development we are all seeking.
The crisis has affected us all in different ways. How has it affected you and any important lessons or epiphanies you can share with us?
I’ve realized that although there are benefits with certain creations such as social media, a lot of it is designed to distract us and keep us from working on our level of awareness which would change and elevate our perception and values of things when it comes to dealing with life challenges and crisis.
I’ve also realized anything could change in a split second and you must work on building something for yourself outside of working for someone in case of a world shut down. Then you are not depending on someone else to fund your living
