F-you Fashion Sense…
I recently attended the EO University in Orange County. It’s a time for entrepreneurs who make over a million a year to gather, share ideas, and learn from each other’s experiences, and other like minded activities. Richard Branson even spoke at the meeting, what a pleasure listening to this guy.
Here we are at the conference, a group of business owners that controls billions of dollars in the global economy, and my friend John Chen, of Big Kid, shows up in slippers. I was totally shocked!!
John I say, “What are doing running around this 5 star hotel in your bathrobe & slippers?”
His answer, “I’m tired, and I was out until very late last night. I just feel like wearing a robe all day. I’ve got a massage at noon; I’ll catch up with you at the dinner event.”
Low and behold, he went from the white bathrobe he was wearing during the day, to a red bathrobe for the dinner event! John just didn’t care.
John this is your big kudos for having an F-You Fashion Sense, which will be a chapter in my new book coming out soon. I really appreciated you holding your middle finger up in the air at the fashion industry.
Crazy you might think… I think not. While attending this event, whenever someone heard I was from Seattle, 90% of them responded, “there are a bunch of you Seattle people here.” I met John Chen, he’s great, I really loved that guy!
Be bold… Get Noticed… Stick out like a sore thumb… Just do everything with style and confidence.

Ah John…took lots of time out of his busy getting settled day last year at burning man to friggn set up my tent so it wouldn’t blow away on the playa. he was awesome just because…he wanted to lend a hand. i will be forever grateful that because of john my tent stood up to ALL the winds and provided me a little cocoon of “home” in the great big Burning Man experience.
Thank you JOHN CHEN!! You rock. Now, about the red robe at the conference…that’s BOLD.
