How I Built My Small Business John Clapham - From Volcom Australia/ NZ CEO to RAGLAN SURF EMPORIUM
I met John Clapham or "JC" in Raglan, New Zealand last year when I walked into his shop hoping they weren’t yet closing and said while huffing from my brisk walk, “What time do you close?”
He responded with a smile, “depends on whose asking…LOL."
And from there, we ended up chatting for about half an hour.
I left thinking, I want to hear more of this guy’s story.
JC didn’t go to college and worked his way up from tagging surf leashes in a retail shop to becoming CEO of Volcom Australia. He is the co-founder of the Raglan Surf Emporium, is a partner of Raglan Roast Coffee - which now has eleven locations across New Zealand - owns a gas station, holds major real estate investments, and continues to consult and build new ventures.
In today’s episode, we only scratch the surface of JC’s journey.
But wow - what an inspiration.
