The Gstaad Guy sits down with  Complex  CEO Aaron Levant to discuss what it means to build at the intersection of taste, access, and community.

Rather than following the crowd, he has built his success on spotting and understanding trends before anyone else does. The conversation gets into the power of thinking laterally and why being a generalist is a hidden advantage in a world of specialists. Levant speaks openly about the stigma of failure, the discipline required to stand your ground when others disagree, and how to make cultural experiences accessible without diluting their value. He explains why the future of retail is not just about selling products, but about creating genuine emotional connections.
