You’re being too smart. And, it’s killing your brand. Following logic. Leaning on experience as a crutch. When, ostensibly, it’s a shackle. Petrified of looking dumb. We pre-rationalise decision making. So many brands, including myself, after a honey-moon of magical momentum become sterile, pallid, bland. This moment is VERY dangerous for challenger brands. The Dip. Trough of Sorrow. Really bloody hard bit. Rory says here, we must ditch experience and logic. Instead, act with child-like wonderme...

Life is a little crazy right now. This is a reposted episode from a couple of years ago with the wonderful Camilla Barnard, founder of Rude Health. Back in full swing next week. In 2006, finally, something erupted. Health food was an imbroglio of crusty and boggey-fied, innocuous yet alienating food. Glib green and banal brown shelves had less personality than a broken Asthma pump in a hospital car park. A cacophony of precocious cardboard-with-a-conscience. In 2006, thankfully, a TECTONIC SHIFT...
