* It's All About Connections
What if you reached out to someone you admire & “scheduled” a chat? The chat could be scheduled for 15 minutes or an hour. Make a short list of these people. People you would love to connect/reconnect with or simply stay in touch with. Don’t over think it. Have fun & enjoy it! I challenge us to make a new connection every week. I guarantee you will be grateful.

Luigi is a successful fashion executive & entrepreneur with over 15 years of experience in the luxury industry. 

 As a merchandising specialist, he contributed to the commercial success of Bottega Veneta, Prada, and Burberry, & among others.  Following a rewarding corporate experience, he decided to share the best practices he learned, with smaller brands wanting optimization.  He founded Saithia in 2021 in Lugano, Switzerland.  Today, amid global instability, his consultancy helps CEOs and Creative Directors untangle fashion complexity.  Luigi’s tactical approach to merchandising leads to development costs reduction & sales increase, consequently improving collection efficiency.

We're  going to touch on the unique differences & value of merchandising.  From an industry POV & function POV.

Welcome to episode #2.  Today's guest is Evan Schiefelbine.  Evan has a deep background in skateboarding, literature & product merchandising.

Evan grew up skateboarding in CA, along the borders of LA County, North Orange County & the Inland Empire.  In the early 00’s, he was part of the Blind Skateboards team, and was featured in the Blind film “What If”.

While skating for Blind, he finished a degree in English.  This combination of skating & literature, eventually led him to combine his two interests, via fictional stories such as “Ocean Green” and “The Good Fool”.

In this interview, Evan shares part of his journey as a skateboarder & writer.  He'll also share some helpful insights, in his approach to writing,  getting started & the type of momentum you can build along the way.  I learned some helpful tips & I'm sure you will to.

Evan recently released his 2nd book called, Ocean Green.  After reading his first book, The Good Fool...I became a fan of Evan's style of writing & was stoked to read his new book.

We shared some great years working together at Vans.  Evan is an all around great person to talk with, which made this interview that much more fun.

I highly recommend you order a copy of his new book, "Ocean Green" at  www.thegoodfool.com

Enjoy the show.
