How I started my business. 📈

How did you end up in London and why London? I read originally you're from New York.

Yeah, I am from New York. I left the business for a while. I was in private equity, working with guys doing some corporate takeovers. And then I decided to get back into the business.

But the whole world changed because I left when sort of the U.S. was 80% of the market. And when I decided to come back in, it was only about 60% of the market. A lot of the activity was in these sort of foreign frontier markets, and I decided, you know, there's a real opportunity there.

I was going to open up the showroom on Park Avenue, New York, which I'm still thinking of doing now as a second one. But if I really be honest, I met a woman here in London. It's always about a woman, right?

And then I reverse-engineered the thing in my head. I said, "Wow, the international markets really ignored it; it really needs one of these showrooms there." And here I am.

I can make up a better story if I need to, but that's the real truth. Just like that movie, Troy, man; the whole war happened for a girl. It's always about a girl.

Hey, even Rolls-Royce, yeah, exactly! I will guarantee you, whatever a man tells you, that a woman wasn't influenced on their major changes in their life, they're full of it.
