Q&A
If money were not an issue, what would you be doing right now?
Just what I'm doing right now....selling real estate in Miami Beach and NYC, and looking for new ideas to invest in.
Long vacations overseas are great too!
What words of advice would you give your younger self?
Be patient...be humble...open your ears and eyes and mind.
What's the most creative thing you've ever done?
The most creative thing I've ever done is renovate an historic home. I loved it so much, I can't stop. I'm a serial renovator.
Which founders or startups do you most admire?
My husband Greg Kouri was an amazing visionary and charmer that could sell ice to an Eskimo. And right now I most admire Elon Musk for being the amazing visionary he is, and having the balls not to back down from turning his dreams into reality.
