What It's About
A radical update from a unique tea towel company.
Notes from Chris
Episode 1825
It’s the end of the year, whoa! I can’t believe how the time has gone by…. but you feel that way too, right? Welcome to Throwback Thursday / “Where are they now?” where we take an in-depth look at someone who’s story has evolved considerably since we first featured them. Last week, we heard from the founder of Cut Buddy, a tool for home haircuts. The week before that, we had the soap-making adventuress who goes all-in on a squeaky clean side hustle. Today, in our latest feature, we’ll hear from Luke Pierce. He’s the Chief Radical at a British family business called Radical Tea Towels. We first featured him back in Ep. 956, and they were on track to do $1 million in sales of tea towels. What’s happened since? Let’s hear directly from him. I’ll be back at the end to wrap us up. Listen to today's episode to hear Luke's updates...MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:
