Anthony Luciano on Failure, Family Traditions and His Fashion Empire

John Friia on Shyness, Shedding and Self Actualization
Q: Do you prefer to go on a date with someone who doesn't know who you are? Or are you to?
Most people don't know who I am, which I actually prefer because it allows for a fresh, preconcealess connection without starting with a label. It helps me build genuine relationships without bias.
Alexis Bittar on Selling, Reclaiming & Rebuilding His Jewelry Company
Q: What is something that little you, little Alexis, would be shocked to know about the you you are today?
The younger Alexis would be surprised by how huge his life became and by the depth of the inner strength he didn't fully know he possessed, especially given the rough start and early street days; today, he's built a life centered on family, authenticity, and creative reinvention, living with a sense of resilience he didn't fully appreciate as a child.
