Then vs. Now: 7 Years Later, Reuniting with M2’s Andre Rowell (And Launching Big Chinese Market Ambitious)

Seven years sits between these two shots—one from 2018, the other fresh from this afternoon—and look at us: still clasping hands, still grinning like we just caught up over coffee (not years apart).

Some bits shifted: crisp blazers swapped for casual polos, office shelves now spill over with leafy greenery, and that stack of M2 issues? Way thicker (the magazine’s only gotten sharper, too). But that familiar, easy grin? That quiet, “we get each other” vibe? Old camaraderie’s still as sharp as ever.

Today’s best win? Locking in fresh collaborations to launch M2’s next moves in the Chinese market. Old bonds, new ventures—let’s make some noise over here.
