Episode 2.3 - Liz Taylor
Q: What do you consider your three core assets, and when did you realize them?

Episode 1.10 - Fran Camaj
Q: Did you feel like you needed to bring on the New York space in order to really keep growing and keep the business alive?
No, it was more about loving the neighborhood and wanting to create something there.
Episode 1.10 - Fran Camaj
Q: What was your biggest hurdle to just moving from doing this bundle of what you were doing to starting Gjelina?
The biggest hurdle was learning the processes independently without a mentor, particularly the building and permitting processes.

Q: Did you ever feel like an imposter at all?
