The Spark (and the 15-Minute Warning)

Every great story needs a catalyst. Ours was a last-minute text.

In August 2020, in the middle of COVID, Matt woke up on a Saturday with no plans. He texted his friend Hunter: What are you up to?

Hunter replied, “We’re coming in fifteen minutes. Get ready.” And hung up.

Fifteen minutes later, Matt’s Brooklyn doorbell rang. Hunter and Sheila walked in, along with a couple friends and a girl Matt had never met before. Arshiya.

It was Arshiya’s first Saturday living in New York City. Hunter had promised to show her “this amazing place,” which in 2020 Brooklyn meant one rare and highly coveted thing: a backyard.

Matt made coffees for everyone. Arshiya clocked the hospitality immediately and the barista skills. What started as a casual backyard hang turned into a full-day adventure around Brooklyn. They talked design, fashion, technology, blockchain, food, ambition, and family. Both left intrigued.

Then, silence.

Matt didn’t text. He figured if it was real, it would come back around.

Arshiya decided not to leave that to chance.
