While I'm in L.A. I always make time for my favorite activity which is hiking. The trails in California are amazing, as they are always challenging, and I never get bored from all the beautiful scenery.
From Dylan Lauren
People will say candy is recession-proof, and we're definitely seeing nostalgic candies coming about, and people want that sugar rush and that nostalgic happiness, like their childhood times.
One day, I'm designing a candy product; the next day, I'm going to a candy factory. The day after that, I might be traveling to Los Angeles to look at a possible location for another store.
I received most of my business education around the dinner table. Whether I listened to my father or brothers, or we had business people as dinner guests, I learned from everyone.
So much of what we decide to carry in our stores is based on what we hear through the Dylan's Candy Bar Facebook Page and Twitter feeds.
Regarding managing people, I am lucky to be surrounded by good, smart friends, some of whom own their own companies or have worked in ones and can lend experience.
I find being a manager really challenging. For instance, I don't enjoy some of the administrative tasks that go along with hiring and firing.
My favorite genre is definitely romantic comedy. I love 'When Harry Met Sally.'
When I'm running, I like to listen to dance music and hip-hop.
I don't read a lot of books but love magazines like 'Psychology Today.' It's great for getting quick facts.
