Episode 3: Marc Streisand — Dress for Who You Want to Be

SEP 14, 202648 MIN

Description

Marc Streisand walked into Manhattan office buildings in his twenties with a case of fabric swatches, getting turned away 49 times out of 50. Twenty-two years later, he owns Marc Allen Fine Clothiers in Providence, Rhode Island. Here, he dresses CEOs, athletes, and half of RI’s business community in custom Italian tailoring, with a house rule that no jacket ever gets made more than four times. In this episode, Marc talks with Lauren about the girl who turned him down for a dance in high school (and what happened when he ran into her 35 years later), the $10,000-a-month client who conned him out of $85,000, and his incredible mother Carol — the woman who taught him people should want him for his mind, not just what they can see.
