Climbing 35 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:05,880 Speaker 1: in Heels really came out of the idea of celebrating 36 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:08,839 Speaker 1: all kinds of women with different careers at the top 37 00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:13,080 Speaker 1: of their game, still climbing and you know, in Heels 38 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,480 Speaker 1: is really just about another way that I sort of say, 39 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 1: while embracing the powers of being a woman and really 40 00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 1: recognizing our strengths and our challenges as women, especially as 41 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:28,440 Speaker 1: you know you guys are moms. 42 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:29,680 Speaker 2: You work so hard. 43 00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:31,960 Speaker 1: I think everybody's story is different, but I think it's 44 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,320 Speaker 1: really important to share. And you know, you guys have 45 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 1: a very sort of young following.

In when I 177 00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:46,920 Speaker 3: went to Berkeley, it's like very vintage heavy there and 178 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:51,040 Speaker 3: a little alternative, and I got really into like like 179 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:54,480 Speaker 3: all the vintage clothes, like tailoring vintage clothes to like 180 00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:57,680 Speaker 3: be cool again, and that was kind of my vibe 181 00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:00,560 Speaker 3: for a while. And I think that that that like 182 00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:02,480 Speaker 3: was sort of became like a little bit more of 183 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 3: passionate passion for me compared to like the big lecture 184 00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,400 Speaker 3: halls of Berkeley were a little intimidating, and I think 185 00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:10,959 Speaker 3: I was like, maybe maybe this isn't what I want 186 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:13,120 Speaker 3: to do for the rest of my like next eight years. 187 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:17,440 Speaker 3: So yeah, I think that definitely, like just being like 188 00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:21,040 Speaker 3: leaning a little more creative there was why I wanted 189 00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:25,040 Speaker 3: to get into fashion. And then randomly I saw like 190 00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 3: and I think it was like it was pre social 191 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:29,640 Speaker 3: media days. But there was just Facebook back when we 192 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:33,120 Speaker 3: were at Berkeley, and I saw an ad for that 193 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:36,839 Speaker 3: step this show in New York with Elle magazine. I 194 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:38,480 Speaker 3: don't know if you know this, I think you do, 195 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:41,840 Speaker 3: and I like just applied for it. And then I 196 00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,560 Speaker 3: ended up basically, like long story short, going to New 197 00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:48,320 Speaker 3: York and being on this show called Styleista with the 198 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:50,720 Speaker 3: CW and it was the one with l magazine, and 199 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 3: I that was like after that, I like knew that 200 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:55,160 Speaker 3: was what I wanted to do. I was like, I 201 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 3: want to get in I wanted to get into magazines 202 00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,360 Speaker 3: or like just something with fashion. And then that's like 203 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:01,840 Speaker 3: ultimately came and I moved to New York and that 204 00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:02,760 Speaker 3: you guys. 205 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:05,760 Speaker 2: Met freshman year Jimmie freshman year of college. 206 00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:09,840 Speaker 4: So we met junior year.

It was on at the same time 222 00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:01,200 Speaker 3: as your show. I think it was a lot I was. 223 00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:03,160 Speaker 3: I was twenty one when I did it, so how 224 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,480 Speaker 3: old am I now? Thirty seven? It was like sixteen 225 00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:08,439 Speaker 3: years ago, so it was I don't even know what 226 00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:10,320 Speaker 3: year that was. I was still at Berkeley, so it 227 00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:14,280 Speaker 3: was like two thousand to me. But yeah, so I did. 228 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,360 Speaker 3: I did that, and then when Cammy and I became 229 00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:20,000 Speaker 3: friends at Berkeley, and that was like where we met. 230 00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:22,120 Speaker 3: And then we all, a big group of us moved 231 00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:25,679 Speaker 3: to New York after college, and so we moved. We 232 00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:28,960 Speaker 3: moved there and we were roommates and I ended up 233 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:32,160 Speaker 3: getting my first job at Calvin Klein threw my castmates 234 00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:36,200 Speaker 3: from the show. So it sort of like was definitely 235 00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:39,600 Speaker 3: how I fell into fashion. But I always, like I think, 236 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:44,120 Speaker 3: always was very interested in business. I ended up at 237 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:47,680 Speaker 3: Berkeley switching my major from biology to business, so smart. 238 00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:51,959 Speaker 3: So yeah, so that was sort of the ultimate path 239 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,000 Speaker 3: I think that I knew I wanted to go on 240 00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:57,960 Speaker 3: was something to do with business.

It 354 00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:14,200 Speaker 3: was definitely compared to what a website is now.

So it was just 366 00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:45,840 Speaker 5: this in between tunic lengths. So if you're taller, you 367 00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:47,879 Speaker 5: wear it one way, if you shorter, you wear another. 368 00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:51,159 Speaker 5: And fabrics were like all over the map.

We 419 00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:05,199 Speaker 4: sized up for him. He's a very large man and 420 00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:09,480 Speaker 4: he was in full hair makeup, big like. 421 00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:15,399 Speaker 1: Whitchburgh quarterback in New Orleans is a huge leap, like 422 00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:17,119 Speaker 1: he could have been annihilated. 423 00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:18,040 Speaker 3: Well. 424 00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:19,800 Speaker 5: And the thing was, because New Orleans is one of 425 00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:24,200 Speaker 5: those quirky cities. All the men wore dresses. Us had 426 00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:26,600 Speaker 5: never been to the Super Bowl, so they dropped all 427 00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:29,399 Speaker 5: manlihood because this was like the most iconic thing that 428 00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:32,720 Speaker 5: has ever happened in the city. Wow. And for some reason, 429 00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:35,160 Speaker 5: the New York Post or the New York Daily News 430 00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:38,119 Speaker 5: picked up the story and they did a whole photo 431 00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:39,840 Speaker 5: shoot with us about it and like put it in 432 00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:41,399 Speaker 5: the press, which we were cracking up. 433 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:42,560 Speaker 4: We're like, this is great. 434 00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:44,800 Speaker 3: Sammy was like on the front page of the newspaper 435 00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:46,720 Speaker 3: about it. 436 00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:50,240 Speaker 4: For putting my dad in the dress. And so then 437 00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:52,200 Speaker 4: that was our first little press. 438 00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:56,320 Speaker 5: We loved it obviously, and we both knew we wanted 439 00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:58,760 Speaker 5: to get back to the West Coast, like the you know, 440 00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:01,720 Speaker 5: the nature of our brand is a California brand. Thought 441 00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:03,640 Speaker 5: we were kind of in California the whole time, I think, 442 00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:06,119 Speaker 5: because the style of our clothes are so West Coast 443 00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:10,080 Speaker 5: and so after we got the crazy weird article and 444 00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:12,000 Speaker 5: things would be going good month to month, is when 445 00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,920 Speaker 5: we sort of decided, Okay, let's quit our jobs, let's 446 00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:16,760 Speaker 5: move to LA and do this full time. You know, 447 00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:19,760 Speaker 5: we had my stepdads in the industry, so he was 448 00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:22,960 Speaker 5: very familiar with downtown LA and the factories, and that was. 449 00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:24,440 Speaker 4: Sort of lacking for us in New York. 450 00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,160 Speaker 5: So we knew if we could move the whole thing 451 00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:28,679 Speaker 5: to LA and do what we were doing in New 452 00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:31,600 Speaker 5: York on a slightly larger scale, the margins. 453 00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:31,800 Speaker 4: Would be there. 454 00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:33,840 Speaker 5: It would be you know, we could maybe get an 455 00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:38,080 Speaker 5: apartment big enough to have a kitchen table. So that 456 00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:42,720 Speaker 5: really pushed us to quit our jobs, move to LA 457 00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:45,760 Speaker 5: and try to do it on a bigger scale. And 458 00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:49,679 Speaker 5: it was, honestly, you know what, an amazing decision. But 459 00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:52,560 Speaker 5: when I think back to making that decision, I had 460 00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:54,800 Speaker 5: no wisdom that anyone. 461 00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:56,040 Speaker 4: You know my age wouldn't have. 462 00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:59,199 Speaker 5: We just had something we believed in that we enjoyed 463 00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:01,120 Speaker 5: doing so much, and. 464 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:03,520 Speaker 4: We were young and we were like ready to take 465 00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:03,960 Speaker 4: the risk. 466 00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:10,480 Speaker 1: And who is more like risk averse?

We're like I think at that point, you're 511 00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:13,080 Speaker 1: just like moving, shaking, living by your you know. 512 00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:15,520 Speaker 3: By now you're not you're not as scared to fail either, 513 00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:17,800 Speaker 3: Like I think that we I don't think either of 514 00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:20,159 Speaker 3: us ever would have imagined that we were starting what 515 00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:23,280 Speaker 3: we have today at all. Absolutely not. And we were 516 00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:25,960 Speaker 3: also fine if it was just like a thing that 517 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:27,800 Speaker 3: we did for a little and it didn't work out. 518 00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:29,679 Speaker 3: So I think that's also like kind of what you 519 00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:32,159 Speaker 3: have to go into it like, otherwise it would be 520 00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:33,040 Speaker 3: like so scary. 521 00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:35,920 Speaker 5: And we were very living, you know, in the month 522 00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:37,719 Speaker 5: we were in or the week or the day we 523 00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:39,159 Speaker 5: were in. There was I don't know if this is 524 00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:41,880 Speaker 5: great business advice for the listeners. 525 00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:45,679 Speaker 1: No, but I actually prefer it because I really stand 526 00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:47,280 Speaker 1: by there is no rule book to this. 527 00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:49,320 Speaker 3: So yeah, So. 528 00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:52,080 Speaker 5: We were just like problem solving in the near term, 529 00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:54,280 Speaker 5: figuring out what we needed to figure out to get 530 00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:56,600 Speaker 5: to the next month for a while, and it worked 531 00:24:56,640 --> 00:25:00,679 Speaker 5: really well. Obviously, after a few years we you know, 532 00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:03,200 Speaker 5: look at longer term strategy and now that's a huge 533 00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:05,280 Speaker 5: part of the business. But back then we really were 534 00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:09,120 Speaker 5: just doing a very slow build of a brand and 535 00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:11,359 Speaker 5: surviving like the month as best we could, just to 536 00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:12,840 Speaker 5: get to the next month for a while. 537 00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:15,000 Speaker 3: I would say, yeah, and we knew it was going 538 00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:17,159 Speaker 3: in the right direction and it was something we should 539 00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:20,240 Speaker 3: continue to pursue. We weren't like beating it down. It 540 00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:23,639 Speaker 3: was like like we were selling nothing getting better, yeah, 541 00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:25,400 Speaker 3: like and we would, you know, sell more and more 542 00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:26,960 Speaker 3: each month, and it was going in the right direction. 543 00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:28,520 Speaker 3: So we were like, we have to keep going. 544 00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:32,000 Speaker 4: The signs were there to like so well. 545 00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:33,879 Speaker 1: But I do think I want to go back to 546 00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:37,200 Speaker 1: family for a second, because I do think that in hindsight, 547 00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:39,040 Speaker 1: like the thing that I get asked most like what 548 00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:40,879 Speaker 1: made you do that? Like what made you think you 549 00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:42,760 Speaker 1: could go out on your own and take that risk? 550 00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:45,560 Speaker 1: And the thing I always say is I knew that 551 00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:48,560 Speaker 1: if I fell, I had my family. I knew if 552 00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:52,159 Speaker 1: everything collapsed and I had to like give up my 553 00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:55,840 Speaker 1: apartment or whatever, I could go home right like, and 554 00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:59,040 Speaker 1: I my my family was there, and I had Roger 555 00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:02,159 Speaker 1: believe it or not at that time cheerleading. And I 556 00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:04,160 Speaker 1: think I want to call that out because I think 557 00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:08,000 Speaker 1: it really is. So there's such a monumental difference in 558 00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:10,320 Speaker 1: being out on your own when you're twenty three years old, 559 00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:13,600 Speaker 1: and I think that what gives you that sort of 560 00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:18,960 Speaker 1: like fearlessness and that safety to fail is having people 561 00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:22,800 Speaker 1: to fall on, you know, not necessarily financially, like knowing 562 00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:26,439 Speaker 1: you won't starve. Of course, I think that is like, Okay, 563 00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:28,480 Speaker 1: if I run out of money and this goes in 564 00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:31,360 Speaker 1: the garbage, like, am I going to be able to eat? 565 00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:31,720 Speaker 3: Right? 566 00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:35,720 Speaker 1: So I think that's one fear that if you don't 567 00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:37,440 Speaker 1: have that, I think that's a game changer. But I 568 00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:40,480 Speaker 1: think more importantly, not more importantly, equally as important is 569 00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:43,480 Speaker 1: your emotional support, right, Like if I fail and fall 570 00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:47,080 Speaker 1: on my face, my parents are there to be like 571 00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:51,639 Speaker 1: you're okay, we got you. Let's figure this out, you know, 572 00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:55,000 Speaker 1: not necessarily like here's ten thousand dollars, go find a 573 00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:57,920 Speaker 1: new job, Like it's not that right. 574 00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:00,000 Speaker 2: So I think that's in vace. 575 00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:02,800 Speaker 3: I was with Sam at that time you were, and 576 00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:06,520 Speaker 3: like he yeah, he's he's been through it all with me, 577 00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:09,880 Speaker 3: like kind of probably like you and Roger and all. Honestly, 578 00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:13,280 Speaker 3: that's the biggest cheerleader, and like it does help, like 579 00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:15,760 Speaker 3: you want to continue on because he's always supported it 580 00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:17,800 Speaker 3: and thought it was amazing what we were doing even 581 00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:19,520 Speaker 3: when it was like crazy. 582 00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:21,960 Speaker 1: And he and Sam's and entrepreneur also, so I think 583 00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:26,600 Speaker 1: he really knows the peaks and volleys and times you 584 00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:28,760 Speaker 1: want to just cry on the floor and like leave 585 00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:33,320 Speaker 1: and like quit, and you know, I think anyone who 586 00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:36,480 Speaker 1: is a business owner. I think now, having all of 587 00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:38,800 Speaker 1: us been through COVID years and stuff, I think we 588 00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:44,120 Speaker 1: now know like, okay, let's reassess how we like look 589 00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:47,920 Speaker 1: at preparing for a disaster if that should happen ever 590 00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:50,920 Speaker 1: again or like, right, I mean, I think before COVID, 591 00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:53,200 Speaker 1: we were just all like ding ding ding ding bank 592 00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:55,960 Speaker 1: Like we don't like, we're all good, everyone's good. We like, 593 00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:59,880 Speaker 1: there can't be a catastrophic pandemic that could take down 594 00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:04,080 Speaker 1: everyone's business, right, Like, So I think now we probably 595 00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:06,400 Speaker 1: try and we try and think a little bit more 596 00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:08,440 Speaker 1: apprehensively cautiously in that way. 597 00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:10,160 Speaker 2: But at what. 598 00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:16,000 Speaker 1: Point, if any were their key like mentors for you guys, 599 00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:19,399 Speaker 1: or have you guys just been driving your own ship 600 00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:21,919 Speaker 1: this whole time? Did you ever have people that you 601 00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:24,399 Speaker 1: were like, thank god, I've met you and thanks for 602 00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:26,320 Speaker 1: the opportunity things. 603 00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:27,280 Speaker 2: Was there a buyer? 604 00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:30,040 Speaker 1: Was there someone that was like, you girls are amazing 605 00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:31,439 Speaker 1: and I love what you're doing. 606 00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:35,119 Speaker 5: So I mean, starting with the family, the moms really 607 00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:38,320 Speaker 5: were amazing. I mean they would make you know, food 608 00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:41,160 Speaker 5: for shoots. They were at market setting the both of 609 00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:44,280 Speaker 5: us taking it down, and you know, they both had 610 00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:46,440 Speaker 5: a ton of kids kids between the two of them, 611 00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:49,000 Speaker 5: and busy lives and so like starting there on a 612 00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:52,800 Speaker 5: very personal level. To your point, that support and all 613 00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:55,160 Speaker 5: that they did for us, especially in the first years 614 00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:57,479 Speaker 5: of the company was crazy. I mean they went above 615 00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:01,200 Speaker 5: and beyond them. That was so in firing to see 616 00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:03,200 Speaker 5: I think, to keep us, you know, with our work 617 00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:06,840 Speaker 5: ethic and going. And then I mean for me personally, 618 00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:09,200 Speaker 5: my first boss at my job in New York was 619 00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:10,600 Speaker 5: I was working in a showroom. 620 00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:13,320 Speaker 4: Was my boss, Michelle, and she loved it. 621 00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:15,880 Speaker 5: So we would like work all day and then we 622 00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:17,800 Speaker 5: would talk about mumu stuff and she would say, well, 623 00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:19,280 Speaker 5: I think you should do this or that, and she 624 00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:21,480 Speaker 5: was so supportive and so cool. And when I finally 625 00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:23,960 Speaker 5: told her I was leaving to go pursue it full time, 626 00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:26,200 Speaker 5: she was like our number one cheerleader. 627 00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:28,160 Speaker 4: We still keep in touch, not enough, but like. 628 00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:32,320 Speaker 5: It's amazing just having someone like that who they're helping 629 00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:34,560 Speaker 5: you in your job and then you're leaving their job 630 00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:36,680 Speaker 5: to go do something else and they're like, you can 631 00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:36,960 Speaker 5: do this. 632 00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:39,480 Speaker 4: I have your back. You don't always get that from people. 633 00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:43,560 Speaker 1: I'm here to say, you almost never got that from 634 00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:45,000 Speaker 1: people in this industry. 635 00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:48,880 Speaker 2: That is that is really really rare. 636 00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:53,160 Speaker 1: But I have to say Cammy too, like your heart 637 00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:56,640 Speaker 1: and energy I think is so genuine that I think 638 00:29:56,680 --> 00:30:00,880 Speaker 1: it would be very hard for someone not want to 639 00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:03,000 Speaker 1: root for you, you know what I mean, Like you 640 00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:06,240 Speaker 1: just have no agenda like that with people. You're not 641 00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:09,120 Speaker 1: that kind of person, Like you don't come up. I 642 00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:11,800 Speaker 1: think the reason that we see so much of that 643 00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:16,400 Speaker 1: kind of evil woman in fashion historically, Hopefully it's becoming 644 00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:18,680 Speaker 1: less and less now, but I think because there was 645 00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:22,720 Speaker 1: such an overriding feeling of jealousy for people that were 646 00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:24,640 Speaker 1: and listen, and I think there are a lot of 647 00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:26,600 Speaker 1: young people in art, a lot of young people that 648 00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:31,280 Speaker 1: want to like steal clients, steal customers, take someone's ideas. 649 00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:34,680 Speaker 1: Like that really does exist very much, and so I 650 00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:39,479 Speaker 1: think when there's a genuine, refreshing, kind hearted, spirited person, 651 00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:41,280 Speaker 1: you want to root for them. 652 00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:43,160 Speaker 2: You know what showroom were you working in? 653 00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:48,000 Speaker 5: So mine was like a multi line showroom. So the 654 00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:50,280 Speaker 5: lines I worked for no longer exist. They were called 655 00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:53,240 Speaker 5: PJK and Kroll. But the best part of the job 656 00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:56,440 Speaker 5: was we were in the same showroom as Mary Kate 657 00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:59,160 Speaker 5: Nashley's line Elizabeth and James, I. 658 00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:01,480 Speaker 2: Know that showroom, but by the way, I would get. 659 00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:06,320 Speaker 4: To see them every now and then, Yes, probably do 660 00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:06,640 Speaker 4: you do. 661 00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:10,959 Speaker 5: And that was also when we were really forming you know, 662 00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:13,080 Speaker 5: you dress one way in high school and in college 663 00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:14,680 Speaker 5: and then you become an adult. When we were really 664 00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:18,560 Speaker 5: forming our fashion identities, it was like you, Rachel, Zoe Project, 665 00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:23,520 Speaker 5: you know, cal Richie, all those people, the Olsens. So 666 00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:26,960 Speaker 5: not that any of you were mentors, because we weren't 667 00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:29,880 Speaker 5: lucky enough to truly know you then, but like y'all 668 00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:32,800 Speaker 5: were so high on our radar, and that boho chic 669 00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:35,320 Speaker 5: style just like taking off in such a crazy way. 670 00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:37,080 Speaker 5: I mean it had us in a serious choke hold 671 00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:41,320 Speaker 5: for many years. Like that was everything and so inspiring 672 00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:41,720 Speaker 5: to us. 673 00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:44,080 Speaker 2: So but I think that's important. 674 00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:48,040 Speaker 5: Of the twins, I was like, you know, melting down, 675 00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:50,880 Speaker 5: but I played it cool.

And if you 690 00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:39,880 Speaker 1: look at successful brands over time and the ones that 691 00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:43,560 Speaker 1: actually survive and make it, it's because the founders are 692 00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:47,000 Speaker 1: so authentic and genuine to the brand. They eat, sleep, 693 00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:50,480 Speaker 1: and breathe it. And I'm you know, I'll just share 694 00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:53,800 Speaker 1: a bit of background on how I know you both, 695 00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:57,200 Speaker 1: and you know, it's funny because it's a testament to 696 00:32:57,240 --> 00:33:00,479 Speaker 1: your brand because we met. Camy and I met in 697 00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:03,440 Speaker 1: the summer, the crazy summer of twenty twenty, where we 698 00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:05,959 Speaker 1: were both in houses in Malibu on the same street, 699 00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:09,200 Speaker 1: terrified to go near a human being. Cammy just had 700 00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:13,719 Speaker 1: her second baby, and literally every day for thirty days, 701 00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:16,560 Speaker 1: we would just only see each other. Like at first, 702 00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:19,400 Speaker 1: I was just walking with my young kids and you 703 00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:23,080 Speaker 1: were walking with your newborn, and I would you know, 704 00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:27,320 Speaker 1: your nutty, loving, amazing husband, Nico would stop me and 705 00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:29,920 Speaker 1: talk to the kids, and the kids were obsessed with him. 706 00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:34,200 Speaker 1: And then your daughter aka my daughter Magnolia would end 707 00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:36,120 Speaker 1: up coming over every day for a cookie and to 708 00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:40,520 Speaker 1: flirt with my boys. And then as we became friendly, 709 00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:46,560 Speaker 1: you know, you, very humbly would be like I even 710 00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:48,320 Speaker 1: think it might have been Nico that told me what 711 00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:51,520 Speaker 1: you did after like a week or ten days of 712 00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:54,720 Speaker 1: knowing you. I don't even think you told me, honestly, 713 00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:57,280 Speaker 1: And I think Nico was like, yeah, well, you know, 714 00:33:57,440 --> 00:34:00,640 Speaker 1: Cammi really loves you, and she like, you know whatever. 715 00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:03,680 Speaker 1: He's like, she's super embarrassed and whatever. He's like, but 716 00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:06,280 Speaker 1: she has a clothing brand and whatever, and it's awesome 717 00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:08,440 Speaker 1: and you would really love it. And you have to 718 00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:11,440 Speaker 1: meet her best friend and partner and like da da da, 719 00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:13,200 Speaker 1: And I was like, well, what's it called. Why isn't 720 00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:17,160 Speaker 1: she said anything? And then you were like, okay, you 721 00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:19,520 Speaker 1: have to meet Colonne. You guys are the same people 722 00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:21,600 Speaker 1: if you've ever like, did da da da? And then 723 00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:24,080 Speaker 1: Cologne walks in with this brand new baby in the 724 00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:27,000 Speaker 1: shortest dentim shorts I've ever seen in my life with's 725 00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:30,560 Speaker 1: like hot serve, her husband, a new baby, another baby 726 00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:32,719 Speaker 1: that looks like you're mini me. And I was like, 727 00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:35,040 Speaker 1: these people are not real, but you guys are like 728 00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:40,480 Speaker 1: this California. You define what a California brand is. And 729 00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:43,479 Speaker 1: I think when people think of California founders that found 730 00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:45,200 Speaker 1: a brand called show me Your Moment. 731 00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:45,879 Speaker 2: This is what it is. 732 00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:50,279 Speaker 1: And you know, it was funny because I remember when 733 00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:52,640 Speaker 1: Nico first said the brand and I was like, what 734 00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:55,120 Speaker 1: sounds so familiar to me?

But I think 1005 00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:49,840 Speaker 3: it definitely taught you how to like just to pivot, 1006 00:47:50,160 --> 00:47:51,919 Speaker 3: like you know, like and have to kind of deal 1007 00:47:51,960 --> 00:47:56,920 Speaker 3: with things like, you know, these challenges that felt crazy 1008 00:47:57,080 --> 00:48:00,000 Speaker 3: and not you know, not let it break you down 1009 00:48:00,040 --> 00:48:01,840 Speaker 3: on Like obviously we all wanted to just close the 1010 00:48:01,920 --> 00:48:05,960 Speaker 3: laptop and never never opened again. Like you had to 1011 00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:09,480 Speaker 3: just sort of face that those those challenges, and like 1012 00:48:09,920 --> 00:48:12,160 Speaker 3: Cammy said, it was it was a lot like felt 1013 00:48:12,200 --> 00:48:14,080 Speaker 3: like the beginning of when we were starting our business, 1014 00:48:14,160 --> 00:48:18,680 Speaker 3: where like you know, when the order arrived and nothing 1015 00:48:18,760 --> 00:48:20,960 Speaker 3: fit and we had to cancel our sex order. Like 1016 00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:23,760 Speaker 3: those types of things felt so heavy at the time 1017 00:48:23,880 --> 00:48:25,919 Speaker 3: and like we were never going to get through them, 1018 00:48:26,360 --> 00:48:28,960 Speaker 3: and that's kind of how COVID felt. But it's like 1019 00:48:29,840 --> 00:48:32,480 Speaker 3: you know, when you when you have like a business 1020 00:48:32,480 --> 00:48:34,880 Speaker 3: and you're growing it, there's so many heavy things that 1021 00:48:35,040 --> 00:48:38,160 Speaker 3: happened like that, and you just have to like persevere 1022 00:48:38,280 --> 00:48:40,799 Speaker 3: and keep going and keep your head up. And you 1023 00:48:40,800 --> 00:48:42,399 Speaker 3: you know, I think at that time too, We had 1024 00:48:42,440 --> 00:48:45,239 Speaker 3: so many employees that we also needed to like try 1025 00:48:45,280 --> 00:48:48,399 Speaker 3: to keep this like positive energy for because you know, 1026 00:48:48,480 --> 00:48:50,440 Speaker 3: they were at home freaking out as well. It was 1027 00:48:50,520 --> 00:48:53,520 Speaker 3: it was, it was terrifying. So I think just being 1028 00:48:53,560 --> 00:48:56,040 Speaker 3: able to like respond to those types of things, it 1029 00:48:56,120 --> 00:48:58,799 Speaker 3: just makes you, for sure stronger and like now there's 1030 00:48:58,880 --> 00:49:01,239 Speaker 3: really nothing that can happened. And I think that we 1031 00:49:01,280 --> 00:49:03,719 Speaker 3: couldn't get through after we got through that. 1032 00:49:04,719 --> 00:49:07,759 Speaker 1: It's true and it's terrifying, but I but I do 1033 00:49:07,840 --> 00:49:10,640 Speaker 1: think everyone I do think there was some comfort in 1034 00:49:10,680 --> 00:49:12,759 Speaker 1: a weird way, knowing that everyone in the world was 1035 00:49:12,800 --> 00:49:16,600 Speaker 1: going through the same thing, right, like every entrepreneur, every CEO, 1036 00:49:16,719 --> 00:49:20,680 Speaker 1: every restaurant tour, anyone in real estate, like commercial real estate, 1037 00:49:20,840 --> 00:49:22,200 Speaker 1: like you know, so. 1038 00:49:22,960 --> 00:49:25,200 Speaker 3: I yeah, you just had to survive. We were like, 1039 00:49:25,280 --> 00:49:27,480 Speaker 3: let's just hope that we still have a brand after this, 1040 00:49:27,719 --> 00:49:30,440 Speaker 3: like let's just keep you know, let's just keep it, 1041 00:49:30,640 --> 00:49:31,520 Speaker 3: keep it above water. 1042 00:49:32,080 --> 00:49:35,279 Speaker 4: Yeah, we've met Rachel though, so thank you. 1043 00:49:35,800 --> 00:49:38,759 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's true for that we did. 1044 00:49:39,480 --> 00:49:41,920 Speaker 5: Like Saint Mary Kate would compliment at my top and 1045 00:49:41,960 --> 00:49:44,400 Speaker 5: then I'm like going for walks with Rachel and her kids. 1046 00:49:44,520 --> 00:49:47,160 Speaker 5: I'd like, what is life? Because it was one of 1047 00:49:47,200 --> 00:49:50,319 Speaker 5: the hardest times of my life. And also like I 1048 00:49:50,360 --> 00:49:52,560 Speaker 5: look at that one month so fondly. I'm like, that 1049 00:49:52,640 --> 00:49:54,240 Speaker 5: was one of the best months of my life, saying, 1050 00:49:54,680 --> 00:49:57,120 Speaker 5: not having to drive into an awsome same office, not 1051 00:49:57,160 --> 00:50:00,359 Speaker 5: having social engagements, and just really we have the little 1052 00:50:00,400 --> 00:50:02,239 Speaker 5: posse and it was so tight and special and it 1053 00:50:02,280 --> 00:50:04,640 Speaker 5: was so much slow time with the kids, which is like, 1054 00:50:05,320 --> 00:50:08,080 Speaker 5: you know, I miss that part of it sometimes, which 1055 00:50:08,120 --> 00:50:08,960 Speaker 5: is also something. 1056 00:50:09,080 --> 00:50:11,399 Speaker 4: Oh I miss it going into it. You know, Oh 1057 00:50:11,440 --> 00:50:11,960 Speaker 4: I miss. 1058 00:50:11,840 --> 00:50:13,800 Speaker 3: That being locked in the house with your kids. Is 1059 00:50:14,160 --> 00:50:16,920 Speaker 3: it definitely has its benefit. 1060 00:50:16,840 --> 00:50:18,680 Speaker 2: It really does. It really does. 1061 00:50:18,760 --> 00:50:25,479 Speaker 5: And Rachel was every day so beautiful, talk it on walk, 1062 00:50:25,600 --> 00:50:29,120 Speaker 5: kid on a hip, kid on a spear, doing everything. 1063 00:50:29,200 --> 00:50:30,520 Speaker 4: You had no help at that house. 1064 00:50:30,840 --> 00:50:35,080 Speaker 5: No, I you know, wrong of us to assume this 1065 00:50:35,160 --> 00:50:37,680 Speaker 5: about women, but like, we actually can do everything. And 1066 00:50:37,760 --> 00:50:40,839 Speaker 5: then when I knew my eyeball saw how much you do, 1067 00:50:41,080 --> 00:50:44,000 Speaker 5: how good you look, I was like, oh, I can 1068 00:50:44,080 --> 00:50:44,480 Speaker 5: do more. 1069 00:50:46,080 --> 00:50:46,440 Speaker 3: No. 1070 00:50:47,440 --> 00:50:51,360 Speaker 1: I think I think we all as women, as working women, 1071 00:50:51,480 --> 00:50:55,560 Speaker 1: as working mothers, which to me is the hardest layer 1072 00:50:55,640 --> 00:50:57,680 Speaker 1: to add to all of that. To be honest's the 1073 00:50:57,719 --> 00:51:01,279 Speaker 1: best by a landslide, of course. But I think that 1074 00:51:01,440 --> 00:51:05,280 Speaker 1: we can be absolute prisoners and slaves to our jobs 1075 00:51:05,280 --> 00:51:07,719 Speaker 1: because we love it, right, we love it. And I 1076 00:51:07,760 --> 00:51:10,400 Speaker 1: think before I had kids, and I waited Roger and 1077 00:51:10,480 --> 00:51:16,719 Speaker 1: I waited eighteen years to become parents literally, but to me, 1078 00:51:17,040 --> 00:51:21,239 Speaker 1: in hindsight, I could handle all of it until I 1079 00:51:21,280 --> 00:51:24,440 Speaker 1: became a mom, and that juggle, because it's such an 1080 00:51:24,480 --> 00:51:29,160 Speaker 1: emotional juggle, it's just entirely different. So and I do 1081 00:51:29,280 --> 00:51:34,200 Speaker 1: think that for you guys, you know, it really is 1082 00:51:34,239 --> 00:51:36,880 Speaker 1: so special. And I want you guys to always recognize 1083 00:51:36,920 --> 00:51:39,840 Speaker 1: how special it is because I only know like a 1084 00:51:40,040 --> 00:51:42,799 Speaker 1: handful of others that you know, like Catherine and her 1085 00:51:42,840 --> 00:51:45,280 Speaker 1: sister Margaret at Doan, who are dear friends of mine, 1086 00:51:45,400 --> 00:51:47,960 Speaker 1: who get to live the dream of working with your 1087 00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:51,239 Speaker 1: sister or your best friend and have your husband's and 1088 00:51:51,280 --> 00:51:53,879 Speaker 1: your families be so close and be able to have 1089 00:51:53,960 --> 00:51:56,680 Speaker 1: this dream business that even though it's so hard and 1090 00:51:56,719 --> 00:51:58,840 Speaker 1: it's so challenging, and the struggle and the juggle and 1091 00:51:58,880 --> 00:52:02,040 Speaker 1: the whole thing, but the gift is truthfully that it 1092 00:52:02,160 --> 00:52:04,840 Speaker 1: is family.
