Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Todd Wilson. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Todd, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. What do you think it takes to be successful?

Perseverance may sound cliche, but it’s really the whole game. Commitment to an idea with the follow-through work hours can not be overstated as being the most important part of any business.

Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.

After many years of varying types of jobs and positions, I decided to start an online cigar business. That company provided me with the solid foundation of e-commerce that would help power Furnish Me Vintage. Along with a solid discipline for problem solving and creative expression, my toolbox was full of the essentials.

We’d love to hear about how you met your business partner.

I met my wife while working at an upscale restaurant and banquet facility back home, in upstate New York. I had no idea we would end up getting married and growing a business partnership that would span decades.

We’d love to hear the story of how you turned a side-hustle into a something much bigger.

Furnish Me Vintage started out a small garage attached to my house in Florida in 2010. I was working full time as a marketing assistant for a real estate company, and began collecting vintage furniture in my spare time. As my collection grew, I had to get rid of some of the overflow. Soon my garage became a make-shift shop. This side-hustle quickly began to outpace my salaried work. I put in my 2-weeks notice and went full steam with my cottage industry. Furnish Me Vintage was born out of that garage, and would occupy a 30 thousand square foot building only 5 years later.
