Vic & Kat grew up in Toronto, went to the same high school and then took off to university where they both graduated with degrees in chemical engineering.

It was pretty clear that they weren’t going to work in the typical engineering field when Vic started working in cosmetic product development and Kat jetted off to Versailles, France to study perfumery. They kept tabs on each other throughout their years of working for companies like L’Oreal and Estee Lauder and finally connected in 2016 with the idea to start their own thing.

In this conversation we talk about when Kat and Vic knew they were ready to start their own business and leave the corporate world behind, what goes in to creating a custom scent, how you should tell your boss you've got a side hustle, and so much more amazing business and entrepreneurial advice. 

Greta Tufvesson and Nikki Lewis come from amazing celebrity and fashion PR backgrounds and launched The BEVY in 2014 after building one of the most successful dating firms in the US. The two identified a need for connections within the sophisticated and social subsets of New York City, Los Angeles, San Diego, and San Francisco, and branched off to create The BEVY. The BEVY is unparalleled in their selectivity, approach, and consistency.

They share all of their career, life and dating advice from how they've been able to compete with dating apps to how you can become an amazing connector.
