In case you missed it, Mark Birnbaum sat down with GQ a little while back to talk about a few essentials he needs to keep EMM going. As the article mentioned, here are a few things that Mark mentioned help turns things up, getting things done, and chill things out:

• Boxing: With the business hours being a bit all over the place, Mark is all about maintaining his health. That's why sweating it out at the gym three to four times a week can help.
• Smartphone: The way that technology and the business world moves these days, Mark needs to be mobile and on-the-go. Always being able to stay connected helps him stay ahead of the curve.
• Aston Martin: Growing up in a family that way part of the automotive business, Mark holds a close place in his heart for great cars. 
• Watches: Not only is it part of the style, but it's something that saves him from looking at his smartphone non-stop and always keeps him conscious of his time. As we all know, time is an important thing.
• Comfortable Sneakers: Whether it's opening up a new spot in Miami or just keeping up with the day-to-day activities of EMM, a comfortable pair of sneakers is definitely something that can't be overlooked.
• The Knicks: Not only do they provide a nice little distraction for the day-to-day happenings but there's nothing like sitting court side at Madison Square Garden with thousands of other screaming fans rooting for your hometown team. 

While these are only a few things Mark Birnbaum uses to make sure things keep moving forward, he's open to hearing what you can't live without. What is it - your favorite lunch spot or hotel?
