What are the tools and / or advice that you learned as a teen that has supported you in your success?
The best advice that I have received as a teen is to not take myself too seriously, and that life is not a race. This has supported me in my success because it has taught me to worry less which is not only better for my mental health, but also allows me to be more productive and efficient because I do not have something weighing on my mind all the time!

If had a magic wand and could Margin in one store anywhere in the world that would most benefit the brand where would you put it?
I would put Margin in Paris, France. I would do this because in Europe, men are often known to care about their personal hygiene and how they present themselves. Although there may be countries in Europe (particularly in the Scandinavian region), which are better known for their male hygiene, Paris would be a great fit because it is the second most visited city in Europe, behind London. I would choose Paris over London because it is a city which emanates fashion and beauty, which would inadvertently elevate the brand.

Tell us about a meal from the past year that you absolutely loved.
The best meal I have had in the past year was when I travelled to Barcelona, Spain, and had the best tapas I have ever tasted! I love the idea of tapas because you get to try many different dishes at once, and many of the flavours/dishes complement each other. My absolute favourite dish from this meal was the traditional Tortilla de Patatas, which is essentially a Spanish potato omelette--that melts in your mouth!
