Craig Conover discusses his evolution after years on Bravo
Conover spoke with OK! about the personal changes that came with his long run on the show. “I started filming the show when I was 24 and now I’m 38, so the audience has really seen me grow up,” he said. He added that he has changed “both personally and professionally” through business, relationships and learning to trust himself.
The reality star also said he no longer lets other people’s opinions influence his decisions. “I’ve also learned that sometimes the things people make fun of you for end up being the things that make you successful,” Conover said. He believes people need to take a chance on themselves, even when others doubt their plans.
Conover described self-trust as one of the biggest lessons from his years on television. He no longer feels the need to seek everyone’s approval. Instead, he has learned to stand by his choices, even when others disagree.
The reality star credited his growth to his time on Southern Charm, building his businesses and navigating relationships. For Conover, learning to trust his own judgment has been the most important change since joining the Bravo series.
