If you want to start a business, it's not about your age. It's about your idea, your energy level,

your ability to attract people around you. You can't let other people's idea of being old

affect your life. How long did it take you from the time where pets.com ended that you came up

with the idea for the real real and started to pursue it? It was years. Wow. When you come up with an idea for a

business, there's a good chance somebody else has the same idea. Right. And then it becomes how you

execute that idea. So I knew I had to move fast. And you knew from the beginning, you're like,

this could be huge. Like not just a few consignment stores like. No. I'm over what people think of me.

I'm over about journalists chasing me.

If I keep living in the past, it's going to change my future.

This is it.

This is my luxury solution.

Hi, Julie. Thanks for coming on step by step. I'm so excited to chat. Shelby, nice to meet you. Yeah,

straight from the airport. Oh my gosh, you have so much energy. I'd be like kind of tired.

Oh, no. It was, you know, from the, it's easy flight. Okay, people aren't familiar with the real real.

It is luxury consignment. How would you put it? Like, I always think of it as a luxury consignment

website, but also brick and mortar stores. It's a luxury consignment business that's mostly on the internet.

Yeah, and I feel like you really made it big.

Oh, yeah.
