Bravo TV Personality Craig Conover Kicks Off Book Tour at the Business Education Complex

Sewing Down South's Craig Conover successfully leveraged his role on Bravo's “Southern Charm” to turn his passion for sewing and home décor into a thriving business. Considering Conover's recent business success, he’s set to release his first book, “Pillow Talk: What's Wrong with my Sewing” next month.For the first stop on Conover’s book tour, he and his executive team chose to visit LSU’s Business Education Complexto share lessons on entrepreneurship with graduate students from LSU’s Flores MBA Program.

In Conover’s book, he reveals the series of events, both on screen and off, that led to the founding of Sewing Down South, which in its third year, managed to open a brick-and-mortar store and secure huge partnerships with Thomasville and HSN. Conover explains how he was able to turn his passion into his work and reclaim the direction of his life. Most of all, he wants everyone to realize that they too can find the purpose and fulfillment they deserve.

Conover’s book is currently available for pre-sale and will hit shelves on March 29, 2022. 

It's important to me to share my experiences with these business-minded students. A lot of times, especially when we are young, we haven't developed enough confidence in our abilities and can easily get distracted from future goals. When I became determined to make Sewing Down South a reality, I knew it was going to be a lot of work, but it was what I've always wanted to do. I want these students, and everyone else that reads my book, to know that they have the full potential to make their dreams a reality at any age.
