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. Won a Gold Medal at The Chelsea Flower Show Sold 3000 Units in Selfridges in 3 weeks. Won listings at Ocado, M&S, Daylesford, Waitrose, Tesco, Whole Foods Market Work with an illustrious list of Michelin Star restaurants. 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. ON THE MENU: 1. WHY *NATURE IS EVERYTHING* AND NATURE'S PARALLELS WITH THE ENTREPRENEURIAL JOURNEY: PROGRESS, PAIN, CHAOS, GROWTH, FLOURISHING 2.
