Meet at the Apartment is a two-story, 2,500-square-foot Soho loft designed to re-interpret and re-invent the concept of meetings. Meet emerged from the shared experiences of Marc and Sara Schiller, who are also the brilliant minds behind the Wooster Collective and Electric Artists.

From time to time, I post short interviews with interesting people about their insights on happiness. During my study of happiness, I’ve noticed that I often learn more from one person’s highly idiosyncratic experiences than I do from sources that detail universal principles or cite up-to-date studies.

I love wine but I’m not a wine snob. I don’t speak the lingo, and I don’t want to. All I know is that some wines taste better than others, and that some wines cost more than others.
