Summary

Gloria Hwang is the founder of Thousand and they make really cool bicycle helmets. I first met Gloria when filming for my YouTube Series, Creative Spaces TV, two years ago. In this episode you will find out about cyclist culture in cities like NYC/LA, the value of a retail space for businesses, being a Texan living in a coastal city and what it's like having immigrant parents. She is my favorite and we had a really fun conversation.
