Summary

In this episode we are joined by interior design expert, rapidly growing YouTuber, and recent Gucci sales associate- Arvin Olano! This episode is such an exciting one since I'm personally a huge fan of Arvin and his content. We dive deep into his life, his past experiences, how he's grown and what he's learned, along with his passions. He tells us what working at Gucci for 6 years was like, how he's grown his confidence, learned how to be himself, developed his fashion sense as well as interior design style, and so much more. He gives us the inside scoop on what being the King of Homegoods is like and how the iconic rug show segment was born.
