Hi Vaulted Viewer,  

I hope all is well with you! After a brief break over the holidays, I'm excited to share with you my latest podcast episode. This week features a very special guest, my longtime friend and fashion expert Lucas Lujano from David August.

If you've ever wondered what it takes to adapt your business to unforeseen challenges and changes, you do NOT want to miss this conversation. Lucas discusses how he and his team had to pivot during the pandemic, which helped them not only survive, but thrive during a tumultuous time.

There are valuable business lessons to be learned as Lucas takes us on a journey through his fascinating career in the world of fashion, starting from his early days as an intern to becoming the go-to clothier for some of the biggest names in entertainment and sports. Here are just a few of the topics we cover today:

The Power of Adaptability: Find out how Lucas and his team adapted to the challenges of the pandemic by expanding their offerings to include stylish leisurewear. This not only helped them survive but thrive during tough times. It’s a testament to the importance of being flexible and innovative in the face of adversity.

The Power of a Custom Suit: How can a well-fitted suit transform your confidence and presence, making you feel like a million bucks? 

Behind the Scenes: What’s it like to work with high-profile clients like Kobe Bryant and Joe Rogan? 

And that’s just a taste. We talked about SO much more! Whether you're looking for business advice, you are a fashion enthusiast, or curious about how the most influential business leaders present themselves, this episode is packed with stories and information that you're sure to find invaluable. 

Tune in now to hear Lucas's inspiring journey! 

This episode, Lucas and I were sipping on a bottle of Clase Azul Reposado Tequila. Known for its iconic hand-painted ceramic decanter, this tequila is a celebration of craftsmanship both inside and out. The rich, smooth flavors of cooked agave, vanilla, and caramel, paired with subtle notes of spice and oak, made it the perfect complement to our conversation. Clase Azul’s dedication to tradition and artistry mirrors Lucas’s own approach to custom tailoring—both are about creating something truly extraordinary.

As always, I thank you for being part of the Vaulted Views community.  See you next week!

Cheers!
