STRAIGHT FROM THE BOXHOUND

by Ethan Scarlett

Every journey has its own story. The name ‘Boxhound’ came about in 2013, when a group of friends came up with the name to show that they were good at what they did, and at that time it was…going after and getting girls. Straight like that. In their own way, they all believed CONFIDENTLY in their abilities to talk to girls and knew how to “spit game.” The name of the group, brought forth ideas of starting their own YouTube channel, making vlogs and short series, selling merchandise, etc. The ideas never fully came into fruition until the year of 2018 when they decided to have a talk show.

They realized that most times when a conversation occurred, long and extensive details of a response brought new perspectives and just insightful gems, left to be picked up. They also looked at the name ‘Boxhound,’ and began thinking about more meaning to the name and how relatable it could be. The meaning of Boxhound turned into being a “hound”, one who is driven and determined, to go after whatever it is that they want in life. So those who are driven to get that new job, start that new business, “get the bag,” or maybe if it is getting girls; or guys, for the women that like to go after what they want as well.

In March of 2018, about 6-7 of the friends sat around a rocky table, with one of the legs loose, trying not to hit the table and have the mic pick up on the screechy noise. All this while recording on Voice Memos on their Apple IPhone. Following a couple recordings, they invested in a Blue Yeti mic from Best Buy that plugged into the computer, downloaded an audio software and instead of using the unsteady table, they upgraded to a 24-pack of tissue paper; placed on an ottoman. For most of their beginning and humbling recordings, this is how Boxhound Radio was born. But again, every journey has its own story.

It wasn’t long before members from the team suddenly “didn’t have the time” to make the recordings, or “feel like they wanted to talk about something else’’ or “wanted more credit” or just was straight up running away from the responsibility of building something. Everybody is all still friends and cool, but real colors showed who was serious about the building of a brand, and not just “talk.” The team shrunk to three and while at one point and although they were upset that things happened the way they did, they built upon what they had, and with who they had.

Fast forward, the three were able to begin recording their podcasts in a professional studio, where the sound was SO much different. They started recording the podcasts through video as well to match a face to the voices some listeners would hear. That’s really when the small team started seeing a BRAND that was bigger than themselves.

The Boxhound team has been able to launch into the clothing industry, designing merchandise and some fire apparel. They began blogging and giving their followers a different perspective on some topics (for the ones that like to read, like you’re doing now. Lol)

The fellas haven’t taken their foot off the pedal as they continue building the brand. They’ve grown the team, at this point, to seven! But the team is growing, and they feel like the vision is growing and getting even clearer. They are starting to transition more into video production, with video series and short films in motion. They are also currently building an app that will be a full space to stay connected to everything Boxhound but more importantly, continue to motivate as many people as possible to go after their dreams and live life to the fullest.
