Holger Schubert's Ferrari 512 BBi Is A Work of Art | Video
- Designer and architect Holger Schubert gives us a closer look at his Ferrari 512 BBi and his equally stunning office/garage that displays the car. The 1,200-square-foot space won him the Maserati and Architectural Digest's Design Driven contest for best garage a few years back. Particularly interesting is the inseparable relationship between the car and the space that was designed to house it, which includes a ramp built into the floor that tilts the car, allowing Schubert to back out across a bridge to his back gate. The car in turn, is perfectly colored to match Schubert's minimalist design ethos and somber palette choices for his space. Whether you admire the car, the ...more

Nasty Gal's Sophia Amoruso at PandoDaily Event in Los Angeles
- Last Thursday, my husband Charlie and I attended PandoDaily’s sponsored by ZEFR andEventbrite. Sophia Amoruso, CEO of Nasty Gal, was being interviewed for one of their events here in good ol’ Los Angeles. As an owner of a growing online business, I just had to attend this one! ZEFR’s venue was very industrial and modern (my kind of place!) and she spoke to a sold-out audience. I walked away inspired to work harder. It was exactly what I needed to kick my ass into gear! She had me questioning a lot of things about my business that I’ve put off since we’ve started. Who is my ideal client? Though I have a vision of them in my head, ...more
How to Start A Business in California - FAQ
- It makes me really happy to see people starting businesses. As a fellow business owner and advisor for many people that have started a business here in the great ol’ state of California, it’s just a great thing to see. People with hopes and dreams making an investment in themselves. In my almost 7 years of being a business owner, I’ve seen many businesses come to an unfortunate close. But in the past few years, I’ve met and heard of many people starting new businesses again! For many, being the owner of a business is a scary thought. The lack of a “steady” paycheck, start-up costs, (sometimes) longer hours, and other ...more
Miguel – Candles In The Sun (Music Video)
- I finally caught Miguel's latest music video to his track "Candles in the Sun" off his Kaleidoscope Dream (which is by the way the best R&B albums I've heard in a long time or probably ever). It's an awesome video to an even better song in which he sings about his struggles through his smooth, melodic tone. ...more
