George Esquivel started making shoes for himself and some friends, up-and-coming musicians in Southern California. Soon, Hollywood came calling. And it wasn’t just celebrities who took notice.

Join Ben and special guest host Kathleen Griffith as they speak to George about the rise of Esquivel Designs.
