Jack Constantine, CDO Lush

How Lush is working during this digital era Our guest today is Jack Constantine, the Chief Digital Officer at Lush. Lush is an innovative, ambitious company manufacturing fresh handmade cosmetics. According to its web site, the company's goal is to make Lush (and the wider world) a better, fairer, and more sustainable place. How? By building an ethical, environmentally-friendly, and fair business. I was intrigued by their vision and amazed by Jack's enthusiasm and dedication to making a difference. Lush was founded by his parents, Mark Constantine and Elizabeth Weir. Jack has helped in various sectors of the company but finally found his place as the head of Digital Apartment. He immediately recognized the need to position the company in the online space. It was the beginning of social media and social networking evolution. Jack decided to use that opportunity and interact and communicate with customers. He built great social media channels and community forum, so today Lush is famous for its loyal and dedicated followers called "Lushies." But that didn't come overnight. They have always listened to their customers, being very attentive to their thoughts, needs, and expectations. Communication was one of the keys to their success.

Dagogo Altraide, Coldfusion TV

How Dagogo built a YouTube channel with nearly 200.000.000 views I'm following Coldfusion TV for a long time already because I love the documentaries that are created on the channel. To be honest, for the longest time I didn't know that Dagogo is the brain behind. When I heard that he will visit Europe I decided to ask for a podcast interview and got a reply in thirty minutes. Sometimes it is very easy to reach people if you just ask. A few days later Dagogo and I met up in Barcelona for the interview and it was very interesting to understand the journey and the brain behind the channel.

Constantijn Van Oranje-Nassau, The Dutch Prince

How the Dutch prince works in the startup ecosystem  I first met Constantijn on an event in Berlin and was confused. The Dutch prince is interviewing a rapper on stage.  I had two questions:  What has the Dutch prince to do with startups?  Why is he interviewing and not being interviewed?  After the fireside chat, I approached Constantijn and asked for a podcast interview. As I hadn't had equipment with me, we needed to figure out where we can record in the future.  That's why I flew to Amsterdam one week later and attended thenextweb.com to record an interview with Constantijn. This interview is what I found out as answers to the two questions, I asked myself.  See the full article and more episodes here: https://thevalulab.co Moreover, here are some useful links: You can get the newest strategies and tools here: https://thevaluelab.co/news    Look at our Digital Leaders merch: https://thevaluelab.co/shop  Digital Leaders on YouTube: https://thevaluelab.co/r/youtube/    Digital Leaders Community on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/groups/8680696/    Digital Leaders on Instagram: https://instagram.com/digitalleaderspodcast
