“He taught me to work your way up from the bottom, never feel you’re too above anything and learn the ropes. That’s what I did when I started interning and taking food orders and taking out the trash at 15.”
“My dad has told me to always fight hard for things and that nothing is impossible, but you have to be persistent. He does it by example.”
“Life can be serious, but don’t take yourself too seriously and don’t overthink too much. He’s such a fun, lighthearted guy.”
“To study to be a dietician because I wanted to do sciences. He told me to have a profession at the end, so I majored in dietetics.”
“He taught, through action rather than words, that if there is a problem, one ought to try to fix it, no matter how daunting.”
“My dad, the one thing he told me is if you want to be the best, work for the best. And I took that very to heart. I worked for Ralph Lauren, I worked for Mickey Drexler, and there’s no better people in the industry to be able to say you worked for.”

“Don’t forget to breathe.”
