The Golden Life Clothing

In 2016, Harmon started a clothing brand called The Golden Life Clothing.

Around the time he released his short film Be Happy, he released apparel with the ‘Be Happy’ slogan on it. He used music as a coping mechanism, particularly J. Cole's intro on his 2014 Forest Hills Drive :

[...] the night my aunt passed away I played that song over and over. He goes, ‘Do you wanna, do you wanna be…happy.’ When it came time for to name the short, I automatically knew to name it the one thing I wanted all those dealing with depression to know, that they can Be Happy.
