I spent the better part of a year bugging every phone number on the city of Boston website until I convinced the Boston Parks Department to give me a food cart license (those were legal). Two weeks later I bought a food truck off of Craigslist. I wasn't willing to wear that awful suit again, so I called up the company before the interview, told them I accepted another position (I didn't), and started thinking of ways where I could live off bread and cheese. The morning of the interview, it occurred to me - I didn't own another suit. I was hot and uncomfortable, but somehow managed to get a second interview with the CEO. I showed up to my interview in a suit that was far too small. I joked that I could live off of bread and cheese alone, and a lightbulb went off in my head.įaced with impending college graduation, I went on my first real job interview with a small market research firm. We survived on $5 a day, as well as the ever present spreads of bread and cheese from each country we visited. I was in my last year at Emerson College and spending all of my vacation time touring with my brother Mike's punk band all over the US and Europe. Roxy's started out as an accident, really. I'm not going to tell you who Roxy is, but I will tell you the story of how this all happened.
