Marci Zaroff was a natural-born entreprenista. From lemonade stands to calligraphy businesses, she always had a hustle on the side. In her more than 30 years in business, she has founded more than ten companies. We can all learn a little (or a lot) from her.
Today, we sit down with Marci Zaroff. She is a life-long entreprenista, CEO and founder of many brands, and the pioneer of sustainable fashion. She shares with us her background, how to make sure you match with celebrity partners, how to get into retailers, and so much more.
”I was very conscious and studying about the environment and human health and wellness at a very early age. I was doing yoga in my late teens. But I was also a mainstream girl that wanted you know, good food and good fashion and got best dressed in high school and, and I had this epiphany that these worlds are not mutually, they're not mutually exclusive. You can have both, and that really has become my life's work.” - Marci Zaroff
