Today’s guest is Michael Cherman, founder of the clothing brand Market. Do you remember the trends that would ignite and spread like wildfire throughout your high school? You’d be walking through the halls and see everyone else wearing some new accessories, some new items. You had no idea where it came from, all you knew is that you had to be in on the fad. Well, Mike was the kid behind one of those high school fads. He created a shirt so popular that he got expelled for selling it on school grounds. If he wasn’t voted most likely to succeed in his yearbook, it was a missed opportunity to predict the future. His career has taken him in many different directions, and it’s a credit to his savvy and flexibility that he’s been able to navigate the cutthroat world of fashion with such success. Listen in as we cover everything from how he ended up designing one-off jackets for the likes of LeBron and Kanye, what he’s trying to personally solve for in creating a brand, and the inspiration behind creating a thirty thousand dollar Swarovski basketball.
