In this episode of Panhandle Pulse, host Chuck Asbury sits down with longtime friend and local entrepreneur Kurt Tobias, founder of Choona Clothing. What started as a conversation between neighbors across the street has grown into a deep dive into entrepreneurship, faith, grit, and what it really takes to build a brand from the ground up in the Florida Panhandle.
Kurt shares his journey from the corporate grind and long commutes to launching a purpose-driven outdoor apparel brand rooted in Florida lifestyle and culture. From early mistakes (including infamous “belly shirts”), to manufacturing challenges, Made-in-USA decisions, financial risk, and the reality of desperation-fueled entrepreneurship, Kurt opens up about the highs and lows of building Choona over the last four years.
This conversation also explores:
Why the Florida Panhandle became Choona’s home base
The importance of community, culture, and giving back
Lessons learned from scaling a consumer goods brand
Faith, family, and the people who made the journey possible
What’s next for Choona Clothing and the vision ahead
Whether you’re an aspiring entrepreneur, a small business owner, or someone who loves the Panhandle lifestyle, this episode is a raw and inspiring look at what it means to bet on yourself, your values, and your community.
