Matt Alexander: Really Intensely Personal

Just over three years ago, Matt Alexander founded Need, a publication that releases exclusive, curated clothing and products for "the modern gentleman". They later added Foremost, a line of affordable, American-made clothing for men and women. This month, Need became Imprint and launched an iOS app. This is the origin of Need's customer service model, and how it helped them grow and evolve from a sensation (Need) into a tangible, formidable Imprint in the world of fashion.

Sweat Equity

Running a movie theatre is one thing. Running free movie screenings for non-paying guests is a production. It involves a theatre's staff, lots of excited movie fans, and an contracted rep or two whose job it is to manage concentrated chaos. What happens when (once a week at minimum) the same 40 customers are willing to wait over twelve hours to watch one movie for free?
