Unemployed & Afraid “It Was Me Or No One,” Andrew, Owner of Mennie Brand
This conversation feels like an homage to us business owners who get ourselves into so many uncomfortable moments in pursuit of our dreams – and that sometimes you just have to laugh at the shit we do.
Andrew’s art inspired sock brand, yes socks, called Mennie is a super rare brand these days, as you really get a sense that it’s different, truly authentic and with its own personality.
And after talking to him it’s easy to see why – this brand is an extension of Andrew, his passion for art, for giving things a go and creating.
Through the sharing of Andrew’s story you’ll hear about:
· The power of a creative project to bring you into a new state
· Making your business idea happen when everyone says it can’t be done
· Going DIY at all stage of business development
· The surprising benefits in starting small
· The value in selling a product face to face
· The surprising side of influencer product placement
· And the slow days that can change your life
