Summary

Erica Cerulo and Claire Mazur met in college in 2002. They bonded instantly. Fast-forward to 2010 when they founded the popular fashion and design website Of a Kind. Since then the two women have created many, many things together, most recently the publishing company, 831 Stories. They are business partners and lifelong friends. This season we're expanding the scope of Committed. Because not all commitment resides within a marriage. In many ways a business partnership is like a marriage and frankly, a marriage is also like a business partnership. There's so much we can learn from all different kinds of commitment. And that's what we'll be exploring in the coming months. Today, we're going to talk to Claire and Erica about creating and building things together and the lessons a business partnership can give a romantic partnership.
