ANECDOTE

Persistence Landed The First Big Orders

  • Getting into City Beach and signing athletes were pivotal early breaks that made the brand more mainstream.
  • Jason recalls getting stood up by a buyer then persistently returning until a relationship formed and orders followed.
INSIGHT

Focus Beats Product Scatter

  • Spreading into too many product categories diluted focus and energy away from building a single great offering.
  • The rebrand to LSKD came from reflecting on childhood passions and aligning product to a clear mission: 'chase the vibe'.
ADVICE

  • Treat learning as continual and apply lessons quickly by making decisions and iterating.
