Today we are sitting down with Conner Curran and Dustin Paisley, owners and founders of Canadian apparel brand Local Laundry. Get ready to laugh a lot while learning a TON, these two are hilarious and deliver so much value all at once! Conner and Dustin are sharing valuable insights with us about entrepreneurship, navigating business partnership, building community and the importance of having clear, strong values in business and life.
We are talking about the impact of building community with a brand, using business as a tool to create an impact, making a difference with your dollar and how small businesses ( and their customers ) can have a BIG impact in the community. Conner and Dustin share the story of how Local Laundry was born in a tiny house in Sweden with a google search and $50, how they became business partners, why Conner called Dustin from the Vegas strip crying while eating cheeseburgers alone and how it resulted in the next growth step for their business.
They share about how they are using clothing to bring people together, how they have harnessed the power of connection and collaboration to build a loyal and thriving community, the power of the long game, embracing slow growth and picking up the phone, and why asking for help is their biggest secret weapon. Conner and Dustin are telling us WHAT to look for in a business partner in order to thrive, the importance of valuing each others differences, and why business partners should go to therapy together.
PLUS:
The power of being resourceful, WHY you need to stop and celebrate your wins, the power of empathy and authentic curiosity, the difference a morning routine makes, what building community actually means - and how to do it (one authentic relationship at a time).
