She’s the reason your credit card jumps out of your pocket.In this episode, Lindsay Denninger chats with Suzi, a marketing and retail veteran who went from "retail grad school" at L Brands to launching her own luxury boutique, and learned hard lessons about identity, reinvention, and knowing when to walk away.
