MB: Why did you start your own agency instead of joining an existing agency?
MV: I think it comes down to the individual that I am and the individual that Darren is. I think it takes someone to really put everything out on the line, and if it happens, great, but if it doesn’t, you need to be able to deal with your own actions. I’m a pretty independent person, and I always wanted to do my own thing. To be honest, though, I didn’t know that I was going to form my own agency. But, the fact that Darren and I both met did it. We realized that in this industry, you really have to make a name for yourself to set you apart. We decided, we’re both young now, so lets give it a run and see what we can do.
