The Cobbler How I Disrupted an Industry, Fell From Grace, and Came Back Stronger Than Ever

I had a feeling that you were a little bit more gregarious than slightly above average on the gregariousity scale.

I didn't fit the mold and it was a Jewish neighborhood very Jewish neighborhood it's called the five towns it's very famous suburb in the 60s and 70s it was the prototypical Jewish suburb in America so the Irish the few Irish that were in the neighborhood there was a section of town where the Irish and Italian lived and they were like firemen and cops.

I wonder if that's where you get your I mean you write in the book it's better to beg for forgiveness than to ask for permission. I know neither you are I made that up but I'm figuring growing up as an outsider is a great way to develop that mindset right because you grow up going well if I don't fit in here and I don't fit in there I'm just gonna do whatever I want and if people get mad at me then I'll just fix it later.

I really enjoyed it I didn't think I'd like a book about a guy who started a shoe store which is what it initially seemed to me and now I'm like this guy's a good brand you know it's a good story to your good storyteller thank you.

I've done that so many times I can I don't even know what you're talking about but I stop people all the time in a supermarket in the street I see a girl wearing something and it looks great I'd even stop people and I said where'd you get that shoe and they say Steve Madden oh how about that one yeah so that's happened to me a few times but I like to see the the street the way they wear something and it gives me an idea and real turn on for me you know creatively to see a certain woman wearing a certain shoe.

I really enjoyed it. I didn't think I'd like a book about a guy who started a shoe store which is what it initially seemed to me and now I'm like this guy's a good brand, you know it's a good story.

I wish I wasn't such a rule breaker and I'm not proud of a lot of things that I did.

It's better to beg for forgiveness than to ask for permission.

Knowing what you don't know is a very big gift.
