I am a 24-year-old
living in New York City.

But your clothing company is
what I wanna talk about today

'cause I get a lot of questions
about clothing companies

but, unlike mine, yours
is pretty successful.

I was always so intrigued
about like fabrics

and when I was in, as
you guys say, University,

And then, you know, started
to turn into a brand.

See I started mine at University as well.

I was, like, screen printing
on existing T-shirts.

So, that's cool that you
were making your own.

- So, where was this
point where it was like,

this little thing, like
who did you sell to

you don't wanna invest
too much money into it

and have like all this
inventory so you know,

I was sewing everything
myself so it was easy

so through the skateboarding niche market.

- [Brett] I was able to connect with them

back when brick and mortar
stores were a lot more popular.

I mean, they still are but
you know it's kinda dying out

So I was able to get it into
a lot of small skate shops

and, you know, it would give
the whole story behind it,

the name of my clothing
company is called Fortune

and I got the name from wanting
to help the less fortunate.

I've done stuff with the
homeless here in New York City.

So, having the employees
of the stores know that

and sell that to the customer
made it a lot easier.

- [Charli] Yeah, like it's
got a story behind it.

Actually like the signature
thing that I like to do

with Fortune is like a
small front left chest hit

Now, though, you've got
like a warehouse, right?

- So how did you figure
out all that stuff?
