Marissa Godinez, an actress, author, and furniture flipper joins Gary LeClerc on the Flipstoration Podcast. Marissa shares her journey from Hawaii to Los Angeles to Georgia, where she now resides. She explains how she got into furniture flipping during the pandemic and how it runs in her family. Marissa discusses her unique style of using geometric patterns and bold colors in her designs. She also talks about the balance between client work and sourcing pieces to sell. Additionally, Marissa shares her motivation for writing a book on furniture flipping, providing detailed instructions for those who prefer written guidance. Marissa discusses the overwhelming amount of information available on social media and YouTube, making it difficult for viewers to find specific content. She highlights the importance of having a reference, like a book, to easily access the information needed. Marissa's book is more instructional and based on her personal experiences, providing reliable instructions and methods for furniture flipping. Gary and Marissa also discuss the challenges of navigating through conflicting information and dealing with criticism from social media viewers. Marissa shares her journey in acting and how furniture flipping provides her with the freedom and flexibility to pursue her dreams. Together, they emphasize the importance of starting and not sweating the small stuff, and how building confidence in oneself is key to personal growth.
Nick and Alex Fos of Fos Restoration specialize in mid-century modern furniture restoration. They started in the furniture industry when Alex's co-worker, who was an upholsterer, recommended her for a job at a mid-century company. Nick began by doing prep work for upholstery and then transitioned to refinishing. In 2016, they decided to start their own business and focus on mid-century modern restorations. They enjoy the freedom and flexibility of owning their own business and being able to spend time with their daughter. Their motivation each day is to not have to work for someone else and to have time together as a family. They find joy in seeing furniture come back to life and appreciate the sentimental value that furniture holds for people. They strive to balance their workload and make time for their family. In this conversation, Gary LeClerc and Alex and Nick Fos discuss the importance of respecting and highlighting the simplicity and beauty of mid-century modern furniture. They also touch on the experience of being parents to young children and the challenges of balancing personal life with running a small business. The conversation takes a deeper turn as they share their experiences with pregnancy loss and the impact it has on their lives and work. The key takeaways include trusting your instincts, surrounding yourself with positive people, and finding moments to pause and reflect. The conversation ends with a reminder to start planting seeds for your own success and the importance of pursuing what you love.
