Episode notes

Today I'm joined by Nate Bosshard.

Nate is a consumer-oriented brand builder. Most recently, he was on the founding team at Tonal where he served as the CMO. But he's also held roles at Burton, North Face, Nest, and GoPro.

In today's episode, we talked about building an authentic network, taking a brand from zero to one, and how timing, adversity, luck and failure impact success.

It's a wide-ranging conversation with a ton of unique insights that I think you'll find valuable.

Let's get into it.
