Meet Arthur Pichon | Founder & CEO of Back to Life Vintage

My drive and positive mindset is what has fueled me to reach different pinnacles in life. From achieving my bachelors in Marketing from UNT in 2013 to attaining my MBA in 2020, life has given me its great share of challenges. But had it not been for God and my loved ones, I wouldn’t have achieved any of it. The funny thing about challenges and struggles is that we all have them. Often time we get so self consumed with our personal struggles, such as lack of money, not being smart enough, people failing to come through for us, that we forget that we all struggle in different ways. That really opened my eyes, when I stepped into the real world that life isn’t about the absence of problems and issues but how we react to life’s problems and issues. The positive and happiest people I’ve met weren’t the people who didn’t struggle and on the contrary they had bigger problems in their life but they weren’t defined by those problems but instead they led their lives with strong emotional management. That really taught me that to be a great leader in whatever I chose to do with my life, that I had to be great at not necessarily selling a product or a service for a company or for my business but to be great at selling myself. Being a marketer for 8 years has shown me that you could have the best product but if you don’t align it with the best service then you’re easily expendable. For Back to Life Vintage, we didn’t just want to be another vintage shop selling shirts, but instead we wanted to focus on prioritizing strong customer relationships, amazing rapport, and outstanding customer service.

After living in Dallas for 8 years, I can humbly call it my home. It is home to some of the greatest views and best tacos this city has to offer. If you’re in town you have to make sure you grab some tacos from La Ventana, and if you go to their Uptown location be sure to check out the Perot Museum, where science comes alive! A trip to Dallas isn’t complete without grabbing tickets to see a Mavs game at American Airlines Center where the vibe is unreal to witness and afterwards you can go relax and hang out at the Katy Trail Icehouse. The trip is not complete without stopping at the Margaret Hunt Hill bridge where you can calmly walk and take a cool pic in front of the gorgeous Dallas Skyline!

First and foremost I would like to give thanks to God because without him none of this would be possible. Secondly, I’d like to give thanks to my girlfriend Jessica and my family for pushing me and encouraging me whether it was helping me buy my first clothing racks or helping me sell at events. I’m deeply grateful to have a strong support system such as them that celebrate with me as my business has continued to reach different milestones.
