“My agent came to me with a deal from another publisher and I signed a deal and got the advance with no idea of what I was going to do. I probably procrastinated for almost a year, but we had meetings and I was basically going to spoof "Take Ivy," but then it kind of turned into something else. I wanted it to be a book of all the things that made me who I am, like Brooks Brothers, Hot Wheels, "The Andy Griffith Show" and G.I. Joes. I couldn't sit still and do it, so my agent had to come to my house and force me to do it.” YearsKindMadeStillsBookIdeasShowsWantedHouseForceDealsBrotherHotMeetingsWho I AmAgentsNo IdeaWheelsPublishersBrooksIvySpoofAndy Griffith ShowBrooks Brothers Author:Mark McNairy
“Basically for everything that comes out of Five Four, I've come up with the idea or changed it in some way. I'm also working with Putnam Accessory Group, a private label hat manufacturer. I'm in the process of re-branding a line they have called Chuck. It was mostly hats and bags, but I'm adding apparel and eyewear and whatever I feel like adding to turn it more into a brand. I'm supposed to be working with Pharrell on Billionaire Boys Club, but that's on hold.” WayFeelsIdeasTurnsProcessLinesBoysFiveFourGroupsChangedCome UpClubsBrandsLabelsSupposed To BeHatsBagsBrandingBillionaireChuckAccessoriesApparelEyewear Author:Mark McNairy
