Dispense.

We had become friends on Instagram first.

It was really nice.

I think you reached out and just said nice things, and we were connecting.

Thank you.

We finally met, I think it was last year, at a networking event planner party.

And I said, Marcy, it's so nice to finally meet you.

And you said something funny like, my new friend and competitor.

I'm not sure how I feel about you yet.

It was just hilarious.

I was honored, actually.

I studied here in New York City.

I went to FIT, and I had a college internship with Colin Cowie, who's another planner here in New York.

And that turned into a job for five years.

And then I moved to California, worked for two others, and then post-COVID branched out finally and started my own business five years ago.

So many.

She has the gift of gab in a way like no one else.

And it was so interesting watching her connect with her clients in a really deep way, which I think has really helped me to make intimate connections.

What do you think, Marza?

It's such a mix.
