I can't say enough good things about David Hieatt.
From hosting a world-class event in a cowshed...
To leading this small town to make jeans again...
From being profiled in an Apple ad...
To believing in the power of email newsletters...
David is the real deal.
David is an entrepreneur, maker, maverick, wordsmith, Liverpool fan, father, husband, and dreamer.
In this pod, Being Amazing Despite..., David chats with Gav about his road to becoming amazing.
David started his career in advertising while being somewhat distracted by his obsession with sports brands.
This obsession turned into his skateboarding and BMX brand, Howies.
David and his wife, Clare, built Howies into a very successful and uber-cool brand that they eventually sold.
David talks about his regret at selling Howies at the wrong time to the wrong people and how that "despite" actually fed and led to the phenomenal growth and success of both The DO Lectures and his and Clare's brilliant Made in Wales jeans company, Hiut Denim Co.
Good pod this.
Listen here.
Enjoy the ride + plan accordingly.
