What The HECC are you doing to challenge the status quo and make your mark?
The HECC Standard
Rebirth isn’t random. It’s built on a code:
— You don’t grow if you think you’ve arrived.
— You can’t change what you won’t face.
— Growth begins with a decision.
— Discipline is what proves it.
Humility
Commitment
Evaluation
Choice
REBIRTH is the outcome.
HECC is the process.
This is the standard.
About
This Isn’t Clothing. It’s a Standard.
Most people want change without discomfort.
They want results without reflection.
Growth without accountability.
We’re not here for that.
Whatthehecc was built for those who choose it anyway.
At What The Hecc, apparel is more than clothing—it is a conversation starter. Our shirts, hats, accessories, and merchandise are designed to spark meaningful dialogue across cultures, professions, and communities. Unlike many brands that focus on a single language, audience, or perspective, we embrace inclusivity through multiple languages and diverse cultural viewpoints, helping people connect beyond borders. Beyond apparel, we offer coaching services, books, graphic novels, audiobooks, films, and original entertainment designed to encourage critical thinking, personal growth, and cross-cultural understanding. As our mission expands, we seek to establish a nonprofit initiative dedicated to educational outreach, language accessibility, cultural exchange, and empowering individuals from all backgrounds to engage in constructive conversation. Through merchandise, media, services, and community programs, What The Hecc strives to build bridges where others build walls.
The Mindset You Wear
What you wear should mean something.
Not to impress others—
but to remind yourself.
Every piece exists to challenge you:
-
To evaluate before reacting
-
To take responsibility without excuses
-
To commit when it would be easier not to
Because mindset isn’t something you turn on.
It’s something you live in.
Built for Change Makers
We don’t create for everyone.
We create for the ones who:
-
Think deeper than surface-level advice
-
Question their own patterns
-
Choose discipline over comfort
-
Follow through when it stops being easy
If that’s you—you already understand.
If not—this isn’t for you. And that’s intentional.
What The Hecc's Story
What The HECC was originally founded in 2012. The name initially stood for the species in the science fiction book Human Electric Cave Catfish, with the acronym HECC representing that title. However, we soon recognized that the acronym also embodied the core values of humility, evaluation, choice, and commitment, which became the guiding themes across all our ventures.
In 2012, the company launched with handmade jewelry crafted from bullet shells and beads, along with unique, punny soaps called Author’s Soap, and homemade tea jelly made from tea leaves harvested on our farm.
By 2014, we expanded our product line to include a book aimed at inspiring those dealing with PTSD to heal, grow, and strengthen family bonds.
Over the years, the company and products grew further as our CEO participated in comic conventions, TV appearances, and radio shows, establishing a strong presence in entertainment and media. We also formed partnerships with other authors, film producers, and artists, broadening our creative collaborations. Today, we are teaming up with directors, actors and other film companies.
In 2024, What The HECC ventured into scriptwriting and filmmaking, producing mafia short films as student projects. As of 2025, the company has become a multifaceted platform encompassing science fiction, poetry, art, mythic themes, mafia films, and more.
Throughout our history, we have maintained a focus on growth, resilience, and community, guided by the principles of humility, evaluation, choice, and commitment.
