With 40 years in the industry backing him, Attilio shares that he "doesn't see retirement in my future now."

"We're doing a podcast, in-house production, we have grown and elevated our industry," he explains. "My daughter has elevated our brand in the last three years ; it's like a rebirth and I'm loving it. Why do I have to retire when I love what I do?" VUE ON | THE ADAMO GROUP 74 VUENJ.COM
