Backstage Pass 1: Building Wave Tribe

We are launching a new series called Backstage Pass. These episodes are a backstage pass into running and building a surf brand. I am pulling back the kimono and giving everyone a peek at what it takes to run an eCommerce brand. 

In this episode we talk about the following: 

• The new business model that is emerging in today’s world—brands are selling directly to customers.
• COVID is accelerating the online shopping trend away from brick and mortar retail.
• Amazon has changed the way we think about buying products—but you are always an Amazon customer when you buy from that platform.
• Why Wave Tribe cares for you more deeply if you buy directly from us.
• Relationships with customers and factories are the key to growing a successful business.
• Have a business idea? Keep it simple.
• Why surfing is a spiritual experience.
• Any product ideas for Wave Tribe out there?
