Danny sits down with Tammy to unpack her journey from humble beginnings to building a tech-enabled luxury resale platform. Tammy shares how she bootstrapped through consignment, built community on Instagram, and proved that certain designer pieces can outpace traditional investments. She also talks about launching Moon Tea House in Costa Mesa, balancing startup life with motherhood, and the mindset shifts that helped her delegate, hire, and buy back her time.
