Pluck, Luck & Perseverance

In Layman's Terms

In 1989 when the economy was unstable, Mitchell Gold knew he had to break some of the rules to succeed in the furniture industry and it paid off in a big way. From an initial investment of $60,000, Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams has grown to $250 million in annual sales with 30 signature stores, boutique shops, as well as an e-commerce and hospitality division.

His defiance of conventional wisdom and investment in his employees helped fuel the meteoric growth of the company. Mitchell runs his business with the same passion and commitment he brings to his work on behalf of LGBT equality.
