Quotables
- 4:23 – “It’s been a really big learning curve working through getting a patent, through finding a production team, through compliances, all those things that you have no idea about when you’re just walking into a store and buying a product and you really find about when you actually try and make the product.”
- 28:40 – “Don’t give up, just because you don’t have experience in a space and not every day is easy keep going because there’s so much you’re going to learn along the way and it’s just going to make you stronger for it. Ask for help, you’ll be shocked how many people are willing to help you, whether you know them or not, total complete strangers and then the other thing is really find that partner, for us it’s our sleep consultants, who can be your expert and your best ambassador, just finding that niche and thinking about what correlates best with your brand.”
