Hey, really quick before we start this brand new episode of How I Built This, you may have heard about our new How I Built This Resilience series, where I've been having video conversations with founders and business leaders about how they're reacting to the current economic crisis. You can see all those conversations, by the way, at our Facebook page, Facebook.com slash how I built this, or on NPR's YouTube page. Anyway, this week I'm going to be live with five leaders in the fashion and beauty industry every single day. Starting Monday, May 18th through May 22nd, I'll be hosting a live video chat. with an incredible lineup of guests, including Marcia Kilgore of BeautyPie and Fitflop, Jen Hyman of Rent the Runway, Sarah LaFleur of MM LaFleur, Alley Webb of Dry Bar, and James Reinhardt of Thread Up. We're going to be talking about the challenges they're confronting and how they're trying to build resilience into their businesses. So join me every day this week at noon eastern 9 a.m. Pacific at facebook.com slash how I built this. And if you want to learn more about NPR's other virtual events, you can go to nprpresents.org.

This was a real breaking point. Gary came home, he had a pizza in his hand, and I just said to Gary, There's hundreds of orders come in and we've got to have them done by the end of the week. And he said, Let me just have my supper and I'll do it and he sat down to eat his dinner and of course I touched everything in the kitchen with fragrance. So his pizza tasted of nutmeg and ginger, and he said, If we carry on, we're gonna end a divorce. I literally said, I'm gonna go and have a shower and just I'll come back in a minute and I thought, Oh my god, no'cause I'd put all these seashells in the bath and I was scenting them with lavender, sea lavender oil And I heard him scream as he went in and he c he walked down the hall and he said Okay.

That's it. We need a shop. Prime and PR? That's how I built this.
