0:00.0	Hello, I'm Imran Ahmed, founder and CEO of the Business of Fashion.
0:06.0	I founded the Business of Fashion in 2007 after working as a management consultant.
0:11.0	I knew I wanted to break into a creative field, but I wasn't sure which one or how I might do it.
0:17.0	I got an idea and started meeting with young fashion designers and diagnosed a problem

1:39.2	We'll also have unscripted, in-depth conversations with some of my favorite people from fashion and beyond. You'll hear real
1:46.2	stories from these experts, who
