Maria Pesin is a fashion industry consultant and senior apparel industry executive with more than 25 years of field experience. She is the author of the e-book "14 Essential Truths Everyone in the Fashion Business Should Know" and the CEO of Vibe Consulting, where she helps aspiring fashion entrepreneurs build successful businesses. She has built multi-million-dollar brands, and has constructed and implemented business plans for New York apparel giants like Fleet Street and GIII Apparel Group.
From a very young age, Maria knew that she wanted to be a businesswoman and make money, despite growing up in a blue collar family in the late 1960s/early 1970s that teased her for her feminist ideals and aspirations. She chose to pursue a career in the fashion industry, where she started working "below rock bottom" until she got jobs where she could learn about the business, and earned promotions all the way to the top. Maria shares her career journey -- including the story behind the incident that led her to leave the corporate world to start her own consulting business -- as well as valuable advice for entrepreneurs who are just starting out.

After graduating college, Matt LeBris spent three years working with Daymond John of ABC's Shark Tank. Now Matt is the founder of 1B Branding (a branding agency in NY City), the host of the Decoding Success Podcast, and speaks in front of audiences across the U.S. – all of which propel him closer to his goal of positively impacting the lives of one billion individuals.
On this episode, Matt shares the successes and challenges that he's faced in his life, including:
- How he turned a 5 minute conversation with Daymond John into a job offer
- His earliest entrepreneurial venture at age 12, when he opened a "restaurant" selling his parents' groceries on the corner in Queens – until his parents found out about it
- His struggles in school – getting kicked out of two high schools and failing out of college, but eventually graduating college with honors after 7 years
- Losing his athletic dream (and all his college scholarships) during his senior year of high school
- Turning his "18th birthday party" into a revenue-generating opportunity
- How he discovered the concept of legacy over currency, and why it changed the focus of his life
