    Apr 14 2023

    Terry Pillow is a true pioneer of the fashion industry, and in this conversation, he takes us on a wonderful journey through his life. He starts with stories from his childhood in Arkansas, his first encounters with fashion, and how he ended up working for and leading fashion giants such as Ralph Lauren, Giorgio Armani, Adidas, and eventually becoming the CEO of the globally known brand, Tommy Bahamas.

    All of Terry's experience has led him to start his latest fashion venture, a fine leather goods store, made in the United States in beautiful Montecito, California. He shares his vision for the brand and store and how proud he is of what is to come.

    Terry's life story is an amazing reminder to stay true to what you love and are passionate about. Terry decided to follow his love for fashion, and the doors always opened at the right time. He shares incredible stories about working with legends in fashion, such as being a merchandiser for Ralph Lauren and working directly with Giorgio Armani in none other than the fashion capital of the world, Milan.

    Terry also talks about the importance of being on the same page when it comes to collaborating with others, emphasizing that it is crucial to surround yourself with individuals with ambition and a similar mindset as you. It was such a pleasure getting insight from Terry when it comes to the fashion industry and life in general.

    I truly hope you all enjoy this talk and visit his store in Montecito.

  • Ep 14. Interview with Dr.Chris Johnson, Screen Writer and Author
    Mar 31 2023
    In today's episode, I have the honor of speaking with screenwriter and author Cristofa Kay, who is here to talk about his brand new book, "Flash Point: Nowhere to Run". Chris is a truly admirable person, having been born in Harlem, New York and spending the last 20 years in Santa Barbara, CA working in higher education. He is currently one of the deans at the prestigious Santa Barbara City College and spends a lot of his time preparing the next generation for the world. Besides his accomplishments in the education sector, Chris has always had a passion for writing. He has written multiple screenplays and three books thus far. In this conversation, Chris talks about his life as a teenager in New York, his college years, his move to Santa Barbara, and his current life there. He also promotes his newest book, "Flash Point: Nowhere to Run", a novel he is proud of and hopes people will enjoy reading as much as he enjoyed writing it. I had the pleasure of getting to know Chris on a deeper level and talking to him about important life topics. I have no doubt that his life journey up to this point will inspire others to follow their dreams, and I cannot wait to see the success his new book will bring him.
