HOW SEEDLIP PIONEERED THE LOW-TO-NO CATEGORY AND WON LISTINGS AT WAITROSE, M&S, OCADO AND MICHELIN STAR RESTAURANTS - BEN BRANSON
This conversation CHANGED EVERYTHING.
Ben taught me, NATURE IS EVERYTHING.
Hold ya horses -
You may think,
I’m slipping into a pair of Tom’s, carousing through Tooting Bec, fondling Daphodiles, listening to Tame Impala (sounds banging tbf)
It’s NOT.
Nature and the founders journey are inextricably intertwined.
Nature, like start ups: Pain and Chaos wield Flourishing Growth.
Nature, like start ups: CONSTANT CHANGE, the seasons and the journey are in flux, Good, Bad and Ugly.
Nature is where founders find thunderous creative-dynamite to blisteringly disrupt categories.
Nature is ego-dissolving, perspective-altering - allowing founders to detach EGO from BRAND.
Seedlip had rip-roaring flourishing success, single-handily pioneering Low To No Category.
By far one of my favourite convo’s so far.
Implore you listen to this puppy in a park or or woods or garden, let the hot sun tickle the nape of your neck.
