Siyamak sits down with Mark E. Sackett, owner of the Box SF, a business in San Francisco that he has owned for over 20 years. He’ll discuss the issues small businesses are facing in San Francisco and his perspective on the problems in the city. Mark is not just a small business owner. He’s a big pillar in the San Francisco community.
“I’ve been in San Francisco 32 years. I built my career there. I became who I am as a creative person there,” Mr. Sackett said. ‘So if you think of good business, good businessman, almost a legacy business in San Francisco... about all the people who have less resources than me, and there’s a lot of them out there… I’m trying to secure my error mask right now so that I can be here to help others. Because if I’m gone, if I tumble over this cliff and I lose my building and I lose my business, I’m not going to be any value to anybody. I want us all to work together to get the city back.”
