Style: From the Inside Out

Three Venice Locals Share Their Unique Perspectives on What Style Means to Them

Brad Clark, Clubhouse Manager at Plantation Golf & Country Club (plantationgcc.com), brings his vibrant philosophy about style to Venice by way of his birthplace of Wisconsin, as well as Illinois and California. Clark believes true style transcends appearances—it's about lifestyle choices and the company you keep. Known for his bold jackets that break the ice, he emphasizes confidence and the joy of self-expression. For Clark, style reflects in everything from home decor to leisure activities. Influenced by his father's legacy and a love for sports, Clark champions being proud of your roots and having fun with your personal flair.

Christina McCauley believes inner style is all about confidence and approachability. And, as CEO/Executive Director of Habitat for Humanity South Sarasota County (habitatsouthsarasota.org), it’s not surprising that she emphasizes kindness and empathy in all aspects of life. McCauley’s style philosophy combines comfort with chic, ensuring she’s always ready to help others while looking and feeling her best. Balancing her roles as a professional, wife, and mom, she prioritizes mental health and self-care, from salon visits to fun spa days with her daughter. For this Venice local since age seven, true style radiates from within, reflecting both inner beauty and genuine kindness.

Medicare Specialist Karla Blake, (karlablakemedicarespecialist.com), a Venice local since childhood, believes inner style is deeply rooted in faith and identity. For Blake, true beauty shines from within and is grounded in her strong faith in the Lord. As a single mom of four and a dedicated business owner, she emphasizes the importance of knowing one's true identity and radiating kindness, generosity, and joy. Karla sees her work as a ministry, caring deeply for her clients and always putting others first. Her positive outlook, empathy, and inner peace not only define her style but also inspire those around her to see the brighter side of life.
