Covet the Comeback

How a Son of Greek Immigrants Found Success, Lost Everything, Then Built a Fashion Empire

De: Christos Garkinos

Narrado por: Christos Garkinos

Long before creating Covet by Christos, the world's leading livestreamer of all things luxury, future founder and CEO Christos Garkinos grew up in Detroit as the gay son of Greek immigrants and started working in his parents' diner at the age of four.

Seeking a bigger life post-college, Garkinos took a job under Richard Branson in the mid-90's heyday of Virgin Megastores. Beginning to rub shoulders with A-list celebrities, he embarked on a 25-year fashion and media career with many highs and lows. Covet the Comeback lays bare the entire story-as well as all the things that can get swept beneath the red carpet.

Garkinos reinvented the resale luxury market and was coined the "Robin Hood of Fashion." A breakout role on Bravo TV soon followed, as did a lucrative Home Shopping Network stint-though with it came countless coke-fueled parties and the slow descent into addiction. When Garkinos' hard-earned empire crumbled, he realized he was near financial ruin.

By the time Garkinos got sober, the world was in the midst of a global pandemic-and, despite the fact that he was driving around in a Range Rover, he was completely broke. A chance meeting where he uttered the word "trudging" led to him starting a trunk show business that went virtual and has since brought in more than 100 million dollars in sales worldwide.

For future business moguls and dreamers of all kinds, Covet the Comeback is far more than a must-listen redemption story. It's a masterclass in learning that we all fall down-and how to get back up in style.

Such an inspiring, motivating Comeback!

Even if you read this book, I highly recommend you LISTEN to this book!!! Just by listening, you can tell Christos put his heart and soul into telling his story. He begins by telling us about his family, their strong Greek values, their faith and hardwork. As he recounts his high school years, you are immediately transported and re-living your own high school experiences along with him. He takes us behind the scenes to some of the most incredible Hollywood stories ever told. Yet, like many of us, Christos tells a story of hardship, ups and downs, "Trudging" and also of success. However, through it all, he never gives up and is constantly pursuing to make his dreams come true. While you are listening recount his epic life story, in that moment you can't help but feel an overwhelming sense of inpiration and motivation towards your own life. Through all of his ups and downs and success, he remains humble and thankful. He reminds us that you can COMEBACK...through hardwork and faith - anything is achieveable!
