Re: Passion vs Phony

[ Edited ]

I agree about Susan Graver, David Markstein and the IHKWIP boy. All very enthusiastic!

Oh really, you think the IHKWIP guy seems phoney?

 

Funny how everyone sees things so differently because from

him (and his partner) I get genuine passion, appreciation and kindness. They both just seem so humble and nice (for lack of a better word) and passionate about their brand.

 

They would be one of my picks for being most passionate....not in an excitable way like Susan (and I agree she seems passionate as well) but in a humble and quiet way.

 

 


@GingerHead   I understand what you are saying about the IHKWIP guy, but there is something about him that just creeps me out.  LOL.  And don't get me started on the spelling of IHKWIP - LOL.  (Just a personal feeling - no bashing of the man.)

I think that Susan knows every single piece of clothing with her name on it.  Amazing!

I think the IHKWIP guys are passionate.  After years working for handbag designers, I'm happy for their success.  Last year they sold their millionth bag on the Q in less than 5 years.  Pretty good.  When it's yours, not just an on air presenter, I think their passion shows.

I agree with the poster  who said that the past vendors were passionate about their brands.  Truly cared about them, how they were made,how they fit, looked,etc.  Now, nope, they say anything for a sale. I can think of only one at the moment that seems Phony to me...Kim Gravel.  Do not like watching her at all.

Everyone is passionate when they are selling their products and making money.

Personally, when I hear the word "amazing" and "love" used over and over and over again by both a certain host along with a representative during cooking shows, I get the phony vibes.
