Key Thoughts:


  • I don't want an employee for two to three years; I want an employee for life. Anastasia 22:12

  • From my standpoint and working with you on this, this has been a thought-out process it's been well over a year in the creation. Michele 24:46


  • We took the time that we were building this space out to have strategic meetings with all of our vendors. Anastasia 27:17


  • What I hear you saying is when you place the order, we want to carry some of that mental load so that you don't have to carry it. We're going to update you so that you don't have to chase us to get the answer. Michele 33:57

  • The person building a brand new house, the woman buying a sofa for her client, they're all the same to me. They're all clients, and they deserve the same mission, vision, and values that we have as a firm. Anastasia 34:13
