Built From Skratch Interview

The Built From Skratch crew stopped by to interview Sharon and myself for a small segment that should be aired on TV in the next three weeks. Built From Skratch is a partner of MYX TV -- which is a 'music lifestyle channel embracing the Asian American community through music, culture and entertainment' (MYX TV). Further, MYX TV is a subsidiary of ABS-CBN Global in which is currently available via DIRECTV on Channel 2067. This was our very first media-broadcasting interview. We've done other interviews with other media outlets such as magazines, but I think by far this was one that Sharon and I had both agreed on that we were nervous for the very first time when speaking about our own company. I know it's probably hard to imagine how difficult or nerve-racking it could be to talk about something so near and dear to your heart, but when you factor in a crew and cameras, nerves in your body begin to act a bit different from the norm. Enduring minutes of clammy hands and trembles throughout both of our bodies, Sharon and I managed to address the story and the future of BnF as well as various engagements with our associates. For the most part, this gave us the opportunity to bring to light what we're all about. I'm almost positive we missed a few important points pertaining to BnF, but I'm confident we touched on the topics that mean the most to some.

When the segment goes live, we are pleasantly pleased to say that we will also be an integral part of other clothing brands as well. The lineup will also include the following: True Clothing, the Bay Area's well respected Urban Streetwear store located in San Francisco, The Giant Peach, Hiero Clothing aka Hieroglyphics Bay Area Hip Hop All Stars, Cultured Roots, the boys who take great pride in their heritage and culture, and No Rival Clothing.

I like to 'Thank' the crew from Built From Skratch for giving us this wonderful opportunity! We can't wait to see the final outcome.

Oh and BTW, I wanted to point out that the inventory you see in the background is the last of the 251 per design you see on the shelves. So, you might want to act now and pick up one before they are all gone. Remember, these will never be printed again. You snooze, you lose. Sorry!
