FOUNDERS
It's not easy to be the boss in real life. And contrary to popular belief (on
social media), being an entrepreneur takes hard work. Take a walk in the
shoes of two entrepreneurs who are balancing their work and personal
lives while building their empire and their legacy. This is Founders Row.

8:22am: I rush out the door to
walk to the train station and
catch my 8:27am train.
MORNING
6:30am: I awaken to do my 30 minutes on the
treadmill but lay down get 30 more minutes of
sleep instead.
7:28am: The extra 30 minutes turns into an hour
so I jump up to shower and dress for work. These
days work = logging on to my 9am-5pm from
#mademaven
9:20am: After a 10 minute walk
from the Lasalle Street station, I
make it to Love Peridot, remove
my coat and log in to work. I
skim both calendars (work and
werk) to ensure no meetings
start at 9:30am and go start my
Nespresso machine for a quick
cup of coffee to actually begin
my day.
10am: Love Peridot opens
and we may get a few walkins/
