0:00.0	Hi, I'm Imran Ahmed, founder and CEO of the Business of Fashion, and welcome to the B.OF podcast.
0:08.5	Voices is the most stimulating gathering of fashion industry leaders on the planet.
0:13.6	What makes voices different is that we mix our industry with fascinating people from other sectors,
0:18.6	from the worlds of economics, activism, health and wellness,
0:22.5	medicine, film, philanthropy, technology, media, and so many more. Fashion doesn't live in a bubble

1:29.7	Marcia, thank you for being here. Thank you for having me. So Imran kind of went through your
1:34.5	trajectory. Can you talk about when you were growing up in Canada, what prompted you to become
1:43.1	an entrepreneur business owner?
1:45.0	You know, when I was growing up, I actually left Canada at the age of 17 to move to New York.
1:51.0	So when I was there, really, I was a bored teenager, living in Saskatchewan, which had two television channels,
1:58.0	extreme cold and not much to do. And I think I didn't really feel that I fit in there much because there wasn't too much
