Lorna Borenstein of Grokker: Invest in People for the Long Term

February 22, 2016 by Blog Posts

Planning for future success business concept with a businessman and businesswoman lifting a watering can to help a tree grow into a future bridge to achieve the long term goal of crossing to the other side.

This interview with Lorna Borenstein, founder and C.E.O. of Grokker, a provider of online cooking, yoga and fitness videos, was conducted and condensed by Adam Bryant.

Q. What were you like as a kid?

A. I was really curious. My mother is a judge, and my dad’s a lawyer. So they encouraged my curiosity and kept directing me to the Encyclopaedia Britannica, where I would read up on things. I was always trying to figure out how to make things better.

I also had this very natural desire to save money. I was the banker among the kids. I have three siblings, and while they would spend their money, I was always saving. Even when I was 9 or 10, they would come to me for loans.

That combination of curiosity and frugality got me interested in business. When I was 11, I started working on weekends in the garment district in Montreal. Initially, I was just unpacking boxes.
