In 5 years time I hope I’m:
Countless drops into my watch brand and working on this full time
Collabed with the brands I mess with the most. Everyone I like is important and bringing it together the right way is key
Bringing the streetwear world and watch world together
Finally shooting for the first drop of my watch brand this month
Only God knows how many obstacles I’ve had to pass through to finally put the puzzle together for this
I can’t wait for everyone to see this - the outcome of the drop isn’t even top of mind. This is art
Majority of great businesses and entrepreneurs I’m meeting aren’t necessarily doing something as innovative as Apple
But they acted, pivoted and put in yards
Don’t sit with that regret when your 50 pls
If you’ve got an idea for something you genuinely believe in, please please please go act on it
Get feedback, research more, build a version on a small scale and test it
You hear this a lot but I’m seeing it more and more now - so many great ideas die to fear and laziness
Had a dinner last night with a team I’ve been working with for a short while in the agency world and got told a tonne of 💎
More inspired than ever to hit some of the more quantitative goals I’ve set out for the business now
With goals in place that need to be hit, we’ve been working towards actively overdelivering to show the value
Obviously it has a time and place but when the client is right, it’s such a handy idea to showcase worth
Most will just look to hit the target really well
Been consulting on a dope project over the past month for an agency that has won a big account in the UK F&B space, particularly within culture
You hear the concept of over delivering a lot in passing but came across it for the first time with Mas and co.
Super respectable
Imagine me and the boys, going to Dubai, driving some Lamborghinis, tell the chef to cook us some food, then chill at the rooftop, yakuzzi, and eat a chicken tikka masala.
Can you imagine the feeling bro?
I don’t know what’s happened in Chinese legislation and the NDA’s around manufacturers but seeing all these factories now jump on socials and expose the cost price for people’s favourite brands are hilarious
There’s paying for brand there’s pure ego because of names
For anyone else building a brand and agency, every time I’m needing help on a skill outside my own I’m reminded that you pay for quality and you’ll only pay once
Try go cheap and cutting corners will cost you more and give you a headache
It never ever works
Todays interaction with the CEO of one of the biggest football fan networks globally is proof that you got to say your ambitions in conversations more.
Went from speaking about heading up socials for their network to talking about their growth goals in Saudi/Gulf ⚽️
I don’t hate 9-5’s at all - I just can’t see a pathway in my industry that leads to me being financially comfortable to buy a Patek World Timer and the 6002R 🤷🏽♂️
