Right. To be a fashion buyer. Uh-huh. To be a
Speaker 1
fashion buyer, right? Yeah. To understand that side of the business. And I actually got accepted into one because that was the closest thing I could get to fashion. But out having that design degree. But before I moved out there, that bag that I had designed. Before you moved from LA to Boston. To Boston. Yeah. To Boston for my first job. Um, I actually did send out a few bags to some magazines and each one was like gold. And I just prayed that someone would write something about it. And I sent it out.
Speaker 2
And that yoga bag, just to be clear, it could hold like a mat and like other accessories. Yeah.
Speaker 1
And then I got a familiar mat plus, you know, towels, shoes, like everything. It was like super glamorous and luxurious. And another thing that happened at that time prior to moving out to Boston was that all of my students at 24 fitness were like, well, who's going to teach pop Pilates now? No one is teaching this format. Now at the time, I was the only one doing pop music to Pilates. It was normally like classical and very slow. And so I thought, all right, well, why don't I record a short workout video for just these 40 people and I'll upload it to this website called YouTube. I don't even know what it was. And I put it there. It's a 440 people. And yeah, that was the beginning of the blog a lot. Wow.
Speaker 2
All right, Cassie, let's see a quick break. We're going to be right back more with Cassie Ho. You're listening to how I built this lab. Stick around.

Hi, I'm Lindsey Graham, the host of Wonder Show Americans Gandal. We bring to life some of the biggest controversies in US history, presidential lies, environmental disasters, corporate fraud. In our newest series, we look at the story of Edward Snowden, a whistleblower who changed the national conversation about privacy on the internet. As a contractor for the NSA, Snowden had access to a range of tough secret government programs. But as he learned more about these clandestine operations, he came to understand a devastating secret. The government was conducting mass surveillance on its own citizens. Snowden would go on to leak more classified documents than any whistleblower in American history. He came to the subject of an international manhunt. And as he fought to expose the truth, he would risk his own freedom and his family's well-being.
