I was one 342 00:15:24,674 --> 00:15:29,234 Speaker 1: of those tumbler kids obsessed with Tumblr. We really show 343 00:15:29,274 --> 00:15:29,994 Speaker 1: our age when. 344 00:15:29,874 --> 00:15:32,714 Speaker 2: I talking about it. But ye, it was a time. 345 00:15:32,834 --> 00:15:35,234 Speaker 1: It was, It was a beautiful time. I used to 346 00:15:35,594 --> 00:15:37,794 Speaker 1: with my best friend be like, let's go take Tumblr picks. 347 00:15:38,074 --> 00:15:41,314 Speaker 1: So I really sat and that kicked off my photography journey. 348 00:15:41,594 --> 00:15:44,754 Speaker 1: So I do really appreciate tumbler still. So it started Tumblr, 349 00:15:44,834 --> 00:15:48,874 Speaker 1: then went onto Instagram, and then have always loved to travel, 350 00:15:48,954 --> 00:15:50,954 Speaker 1: So then I just had an outlet to post my 351 00:15:51,354 --> 00:15:54,594 Speaker 1: travel pics, so that was all separate, and then TikTok 352 00:15:54,674 --> 00:15:58,914 Speaker 1: again was this new platform. I kept everything separate. I 353 00:15:58,914 --> 00:16:01,434 Speaker 1: actually have a different name on TikTok than my Instagram 354 00:16:01,434 --> 00:16:03,114 Speaker 1: because I was trying to keep it separate for work, 355 00:16:03,554 --> 00:16:06,194 Speaker 1: which is stupid because obviously people could see my face, like, 356 00:16:06,234 --> 00:16:08,834 Speaker 1: we know who you are. And then TikTok was more 357 00:16:08,914 --> 00:16:12,914 Speaker 1: of a conversational social media outlet. So that was when 358 00:16:12,914 --> 00:16:14,554 Speaker 1: I got really lonely at work. I had no one 359 00:16:14,594 --> 00:16:16,834 Speaker 1: to talk to, so I obviously spoke to the Internet, 360 00:16:16,874 --> 00:16:18,434 Speaker 1: which is super healthy to do. 361 00:16:18,874 --> 00:16:20,754 Speaker 2: So, oh, we thank you for it. 362 00:16:20,834 --> 00:16:24,394 Speaker 1: We love it. So I would just like, these embarrassing 363 00:16:24,434 --> 00:16:26,994 Speaker 1: things would happen to me and whatnot because everything embarrassing 364 00:16:27,034 --> 00:16:29,794 Speaker 1: things happened to me, and I would have no one 365 00:16:29,834 --> 00:16:31,674 Speaker 1: to talk to, so just tell the internet. 366 00:16:31,834 --> 00:16:33,994 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean exactly what you're saying. Though, I feel 367 00:16:33,994 --> 00:16:36,114 Speaker 2: like why a lot of people gravitate towards your content. 368 00:16:36,154 --> 00:16:38,674 Speaker 2: It was, Yes, it's very aspirational, but there's really an 369 00:16:38,714 --> 00:16:41,714 Speaker 2: air of authenticity around what the post and what you do. 370 00:16:42,034 --> 00:16:44,274 Speaker 2: And your content has also been quite diverse from like 371 00:16:44,434 --> 00:16:49,434 Speaker 2: corporate girly talk, travel talk, all the talks. I'm curious, 372 00:16:49,514 --> 00:16:51,434 Speaker 2: how did this all kind of lead you down the 373 00:16:51,514 --> 00:16:53,114 Speaker 2: road to starting a rope company. 374 00:16:53,474 --> 00:16:57,714 Speaker 1: Yes, so the rope business kind of started because I 375 00:16:57,834 --> 00:17:03,234 Speaker 1: felt pretty unmotivated at work. Not unmotivated, I just was 376 00:17:03,514 --> 00:17:06,274 Speaker 1: seek of sticking to the shades of gray and navy 377 00:17:06,634 --> 00:17:08,634 Speaker 1: in my power Point dex and I wanted something a 378 00:17:08,674 --> 00:17:12,114 Speaker 1: little bit more creative, and hence the road business came 379 00:17:12,154 --> 00:17:15,033 Speaker 1: out of that. I love just as I said, I'm 380 00:17:15,074 --> 00:17:17,354 Speaker 1: pretty lazy with what I wear, so I love to 381 00:17:17,434 --> 00:17:20,474 Speaker 1: just throw something on robe suited that really well, I 382 00:17:20,554 --> 00:17:23,674 Speaker 1: just wanted more colors, blah blah blah. So off boom 383 00:17:23,874 --> 00:17:27,634 Speaker 1: road business. And then it was never my intention to 384 00:17:27,714 --> 00:17:30,634 Speaker 1: leave work to focus solely on that. Some stuff happened 385 00:17:30,634 --> 00:17:33,114 Speaker 1: at work on the side, and then I just was like, 386 00:17:33,194 --> 00:17:36,034 Speaker 1: stuff this, and then thank god I started that little 387 00:17:36,114 --> 00:17:40,154 Speaker 1: road business from my shithole apartment because now it's for you. 388 00:17:40,394 --> 00:17:43,394 Speaker 1: Job doesn't pay me, but it keeps. 389 00:17:44,434 --> 00:17:48,274 Speaker 2: I love it. And obviously you're very passionate about travel. Yes, 390 00:17:48,634 --> 00:17:52,714 Speaker 2: How has your lifestyle and travel content kind of influenced 391 00:17:52,754 --> 00:17:53,954 Speaker 2: your career and where you are now? 392 00:17:54,434 --> 00:17:58,313 Speaker 1: Yes, well, I think travel in general has made me 393 00:17:58,434 --> 00:18:03,194 Speaker 1: pretty open minded and has definitely helped with my creativity. 394 00:18:03,794 --> 00:18:07,354 Speaker 1: And then on top of that learning from new people 395 00:18:07,354 --> 00:18:11,354 Speaker 1: I meet, new places, new cultures. But then my favorite 396 00:18:11,394 --> 00:18:15,033 Speaker 1: type of travel is more of your tropical travel, particularly 397 00:18:15,034 --> 00:18:18,114 Speaker 1: when it's like off grid diving, snorkeling, and that's kind 398 00:18:18,154 --> 00:18:21,154 Speaker 1: of where I was able to just I could only take. 399 00:18:21,274 --> 00:18:24,874 Speaker 1: I would say, take about this mini clothes and in 400 00:18:24,954 --> 00:18:27,874 Speaker 1: it plus a robe and that was basically like what 401 00:18:27,994 --> 00:18:30,114 Speaker 1: I lived out of for a few weeks, so with 402 00:18:30,194 --> 00:18:30,794 Speaker 1: a backpack. 403 00:18:30,874 --> 00:18:32,914 Speaker 2: Yeah, I love this.

And it does start to drive 420 00:19:13,434 --> 00:19:16,514 Speaker 1: like what's shown on our Instagram and then converts to sales. 421 00:19:16,954 --> 00:19:19,754 Speaker 1: So I definitely have to love the product first and foremost. 422 00:19:20,114 --> 00:19:22,914 Speaker 1: But I would say am pretty well in touch with 423 00:19:23,114 --> 00:19:26,434 Speaker 1: who our customer is.

Actually her name is Sarah, 442 00:20:25,394 --> 00:20:27,394 Speaker 1: so I'm going to gift it to it. She'll have 443 00:20:27,434 --> 00:20:29,514 Speaker 1: her one of her kind robe because she obviously came 444 00:20:29,594 --> 00:20:30,234 Speaker 1: up with the idea. 445 00:20:30,434 --> 00:20:32,874 Speaker 2: I love that. I think that's thoughts of the difference 446 00:20:32,914 --> 00:20:36,194 Speaker 2: having an inbuilt community. Oh yeah, I care about you 447 00:20:36,514 --> 00:20:39,914 Speaker 2: the brand or passion, and yeah, there is a sense 448 00:20:39,914 --> 00:20:42,434 Speaker 2: of community that not every single brand has or can 449 00:20:42,474 --> 00:20:43,114 Speaker 2: help even. 450 00:20:43,034 --> 00:20:45,793 Speaker 1: Well, even there's only so much I can see right 451 00:20:45,834 --> 00:20:48,714 Speaker 1: on social media and whatnot. But our community will tag 452 00:20:48,834 --> 00:20:51,554 Speaker 1: us if like a big influencer has worn it and whatnot, 453 00:20:51,594 --> 00:20:54,394 Speaker 1: and like it's them that really helps us. And they're 454 00:20:54,434 --> 00:20:57,194 Speaker 1: an extension of our team in my eyes. So I 455 00:20:57,234 --> 00:20:59,354 Speaker 1: hope one day we're trying to do like more community 456 00:20:59,394 --> 00:21:03,634 Speaker 1: events and hoping as budgets crow, we can start doing 457 00:21:03,954 --> 00:21:08,513 Speaker 1: better events for our community because without them, like literally losers. 458 00:21:08,674 --> 00:21:14,194 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I love that. All those I love that. 459 00:21:14,314 --> 00:21:16,954 Speaker 2: I love the community aspect of it, and how much 460 00:21:16,994 --> 00:21:19,354 Speaker 2: your audience really gets behind the brand. And I think 461 00:21:19,354 --> 00:21:21,834 Speaker 2: it's because so much of you and your personality is 462 00:21:21,874 --> 00:21:25,273 Speaker 2: infused really the personality of the brand and what it 463 00:21:25,314 --> 00:21:27,994 Speaker 2: means and the vision for it. I wanted to know 464 00:21:28,114 --> 00:21:30,954 Speaker 2: in terms of we're talking a little bit about like 465 00:21:30,954 --> 00:21:34,314 Speaker 2: how you design things and the customer you have in mind.
