You know you 5 00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:19,080 Speaker 1: have story ambition, but you also know that you can't 6 00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:23,319 Speaker 1: have somebody walk into your restaurant in Miami and say 7 00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:26,400 Speaker 1: it can happen. It happens here. That a bad meal. 8 00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:30,800 Speaker 1: But how did you do being able to do today 9 00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:37,040 Speaker 1: a ranch and launch Gabriehouse From that distance, I think. 10 00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:41,040 Speaker 2: It's like the same way of like, first of all 11 00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:44,520 Speaker 2: the team, right, like what'sone for my foremans?

You have to learn how to use this, 17 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:03,600 Speaker 2: and here's the phone. We're gonna do Excel sheets. I know, 18 00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:06,920 Speaker 2: so we we. If it wasn't for him, this was 19 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,039 Speaker 2: not even a remote. My I was doing the annual 20 00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:13,520 Speaker 2: Excel sheet this weekend and my son was like you 21 00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:19,600 Speaker 2: also do this. And my team and in New York 22 00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:22,080 Speaker 2: I have I have team members I've been with me 23 00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:28,360 Speaker 2: since Scandela and it's my team that I mean, I 24 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:30,840 Speaker 2: am so proud of them, like I could talk for hours. 25 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:34,320 Speaker 2: We just did a show in Paris. I have. My 26 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,880 Speaker 2: team is like five six people and we show among 27 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,959 Speaker 2: teams that have hundreds of people. But they are so 28 00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,120 Speaker 2: Navy seals, you know, like I think you feel the 29 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:48,280 Speaker 2: same in your kitchen. They're just so focused and they 30 00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:51,280 Speaker 2: have so much passion because they know I don't go cheap. 31 00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,160 Speaker 2: They know that I'm looking for the best ingredients and 32 00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,919 Speaker 2: like what if I don't have a product of quality, 33 00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,320 Speaker 2: like I close down, you know what I mean, Like 34 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,320 Speaker 2: I don't not doing it. It's like it has to 35 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:06,840 Speaker 2: be great. But that talking to your growth. I only 36 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:11,120 Speaker 2: open places that I want to go visit like I 37 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,800 Speaker 2: want to be, and they're like homes. My stores, Like 38 00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 2: we open in LA and it's like a home as well. 39 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:17,400 Speaker 1: In there. 40 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:21,440 Speaker 2: It's beautiful. It's so beautiful, and the furniture is it's 41 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,760 Speaker 2: all done by fallen sycamore trees that we're going to 42 00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:29,200 Speaker 2: be trashed. And the ceiling it's all done by hand plaster, 43 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:32,400 Speaker 2: because we don't change stores all the time. You know. 44 00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:34,119 Speaker 2: It's like, that's how the store is going to look 45 00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:37,359 Speaker 2: for ten twelve ears. We're gonna build it right. Maybe 46 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 2: we're gonna have to fix it a little bit here 47 00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 2: and a little bit there, but that's the look. And 48 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:46,520 Speaker 2: then the thing that it's very interesting was that I 49 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:50,120 Speaker 2: remember the moment because they were going to show me 50 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:53,240 Speaker 2: other locations when I was staying at Clerics. This is 51 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:57,919 Speaker 2: like twenty twenty, late twenty eighteen, because we did the 52 00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,520 Speaker 2: store in twenty nineteen and I crossed the street and 53 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 2: I'm like, that's the spot, that's the spot, Like that 54 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:05,920 Speaker 2: is the spot, Like I'm sorry, I'm not going to 55 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:10,520 Speaker 2: see anything else. And it wasn't like like it wasn't 56 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 2: like this grand thing that was calling you at the time. 57 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,960 Speaker 2: And then I wanted to be sustainably done with the 58 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:23,320 Speaker 2: lowest impact possible, and I emailed so Norman Foster asking 59 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:26,360 Speaker 2: him for an advice on our architect that would recommend 60 00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:28,760 Speaker 2: that would help me in my little store, because he's 61 00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:34,520 Speaker 2: like the premium leader in sustainable architecture, and he was like, 62 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:35,120 Speaker 2: why not me. 63 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,560 Speaker 1: I was like, yes, of course you yeah, of. 64 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:42,320 Speaker 2: Course, and so we tried to do the lowest impact possible. 65 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:48,120 Speaker 2: So everything, all the roors is Welsh military barracks, all 66 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 2: the wood is London fallen pines. So what they did 67 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 2: in the in the ceiling. And you really realize when 68 00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 2: you're an master, because at one point we were talking 69 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 2: about a bend that I can send in the store, 70 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 2: and he started to sketch it, and he sketched out 71 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:08,560 Speaker 2: of memory. And the position of that sketch, I mean, 72 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 2: I like to schedule take me three lifetimes to like 73 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:16,040 Speaker 2: sketch like that. It was impressive, like out of memory. 74 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:19,920 Speaker 1: It's like his handwriting yes, yeah and yeah. 75 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 2: So that stores it's beautiful. We're not going anywhere. 76 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, do you do you think both for fashion and 77 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:31,640 Speaker 1: you know, for for food and for ranching that how 78 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:35,000 Speaker 1: to how to keep these values? How do the people work? 79 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,560 Speaker 1: For me? Is that if we give everybody a window 80 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,159 Speaker 1: to look out of, if we give everybody, you know, 81 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:42,159 Speaker 1: a good meal at the end of we don't ever 82 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 1: buy cheap food. For the people who work here, if 83 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:48,240 Speaker 1: we give them they can't work more than one double 84 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 1: they can't, you know, they have to have two full 85 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:53,400 Speaker 1: days off. You know, if we if we work like 86 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 1: that with the people who work with us. Then I 87 00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:00,360 Speaker 1: think that comes back in a circle. And do you know, Yes, it's. 88 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 2: The secularity of our ranch, you know. And the other 89 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,440 Speaker 2: thing that I've always think about it. The other thing 90 00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:10,159 Speaker 2: that a ranch has, and being a rural person has 91 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,280 Speaker 2: is that because you're so remote with a group of people, 92 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 2: that I always have this problem that I always believe 93 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 2: what people say to me immediately, because I mean, I'm 94 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,880 Speaker 2: wired you like, as you say, why are you going 95 00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:27,400 Speaker 2: to like, nobody's going to tell you something because you 96 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 2: know each other. So there's a there's an authenticity that 97 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:35,800 Speaker 2: gravitates to me, that gives me a true experience. So 98 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:39,560 Speaker 2: that's what's my radar. I may not know about something, 99 00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:43,279 Speaker 2: but I can spot quality, like I can spot something 100 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:46,920 Speaker 2: that is made with time and integrity, even if it's 101 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:50,400 Speaker 2: nothing to do with So that's how I function. I 102 00:05:50,440 --> 00:06:01,440 Speaker 2: think that's my only equality.
