Ricardo and I, we scrape our phone one case. You scrape from your 401 case? Yeah. That's a lot of faith. That's your retirement money. We work for others for 20 people, like 40 years combined. And then all of the sudden came to pandemic, and we lost our jobs and we're like, down, this is on us. Yeah. I think February of 2021, we sold $5,000 in the entire month.

And I was like, shit.

How are we going to pay your employees?

Or like rent.

Yeah.

How is this going to make?

What's up, Rich Friends? And welcome back to another episode of Net Worth and Chill with me,

your host, Vivian 2, aka Your Rich BFF, and your favorite Wall Street girly.

Like all other New York City gals out there, I do love a pair of shoes.

My collection isn't quite enough to rival a Carrie Bradshaw, but truly, I do have a closet full of them.

People ask me all the time where I get them, and honestly, most of the time, they're from some luxury brand that costs me way too much money.

But here's a thing.

Just because you can afford a $900 pair of shoes doesn't mean you should have to all the time or that you'd even

want to spend that kind of money on every single pair. And up until pretty recently, if you

wanted truly luxurious, well-made footwear, you had two options. You could either break the

bank at a high-end boutique or settle for something that likely cut corners on material, caused a ton of blisters, or fell apart in six months.

But with her brand LaRude, today's guest is completely disrupting what luxury footwear can look like and cost.

Think Warby Parker vibes, but for shoes.

That'll make you feel like a million bucks without actually costing you a million bucks. Everyone, please give a warm welcome to co-founder of her namesake brand, Marina Laruda.
