Meet Claude Aubourg | CEO, Artist and Real Estate Agent

We had the good fortune of connecting with Claude Aubourg and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Claude, putting aside the decision to work for yourself, what other decisions were critical to your success?
The single most important thing decision I made was to be Fearless! To not be afraid to believe myself and to actually believe in my dreams! I need to believe in me before anyone else can. This has helped me not to give up when things get hard or when money is scarce.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I highly recommend the book:

And I also want to thank my brother Richard for believing in me and helping me startup my online store.
