Price welcomes Tony Stovall, co-owner of Michigan’s oldest haberdashery, Hot Sam’s Detroit, for a deep dive into a century of fashion, history, and resilience. Tony shares his personal journey from an electrical engineering student looking for a summer job in 1974 to becoming the owner of the iconic store where his father bought him his first suit. They discuss the store's profound history—founded in 1921, the same year as Black Wall Street—and how this Detroit treasure has withstood the Great Depression, wars, and pandemics to remain a pillar of the community. Tony opens up about the philosophy behind the \"Hot Sam's Experience,\" emphasizing that true style is about love, greeting people with dignity, and ensuring every customer feels at home. He offers timeless business advice for aspiring entrepreneurs, covering the power of a handshake, the importance of \"keeping your word\" with vendors, and the spiritual faith that fuels his perseverance. Later in the show, fashion luminary Terence Beesley joins to provide a masterclass in style, breaking down wardrobe essentials like the classic navy suit, how to style a turtleneck with a sport coat, and why the cognac shoe is the \"new black\". This episode celebrates the \"curators of class\" who ensure that you don't just wear clothing, but radiate confidence and legacy.Raphael Levon Price, REALTOR,RSPS, RCC, SRES, SRSprice.raphael@gmail.comraphaelprice.fivestarleaders.comFive Star Real Estate Leaders5920 Livernois Rd Suite 100Troy, MI 48098248-672-4505Produced & Editedby Ethan ToccoSpecial Thanks to:Mr. Tony StovallCo-Owner, Hot Sam's DetroitMr. Terrence BeasleyStylist & Sales, Hot Sam's DetroitHot Sam's DetroitThe Oldest Haberdashery in Michigan127 Monroe AvenueDetroit, MI 48226313-961-6770","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/6xPMw2iYnc2nlFNpds9B87DXrbN4WmLDqqEu9AnrmXg/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9hNjYx/MzRhYzc4YWQxNjM2/YWU2MGE5MGZhZTAz/MGFhYy5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
