Well, have I got a story to tell you.

May 30, 2024

Hey guys! Grab a cup of tea, I've got a story. This happened a couple of days ago. I've been sweating on stock to arrive so that we can send out the big batch of pre-orders that are due. It's been weighing on me for weeks. ...

Runly In Scandinavia?

May 23, 2024

Well, here's something you probably weren't expecting in this week's founder update. Over the last couple of months, but more frequently in the last couple of weeks we've been testing the waters on some international markets. Could Runly be sold worldwide? Why not, right?

This is not as big as you might think it is.

May 16, 2024

After a couple of interesting discussions this week it occurred to me that sometimes the perception of Runly right now is that it's much bigger than it is. This week I've spoken to both external people in events and retail and they both mentioned how big Runly had become. I also spoke with a close friend who had the perception that Runly was huge.

Insight Into How I Create New Products

May 09, 2024

At any given time, I'm probably working on 3-6 different products in the background. The reality is that maybe 50% or more don't make the cut. Last week for example, I had been working on a new product for months. We had iterated the design 5-6 times. Sampled. Tested. But we just couldn't get it exactly how we wanted. So we cut it.

60th Founder Updates

April 24, 2024

Wow - it's the 60th week in a row I've sent you this weekly founder update. This week it's on a Wednesday, instead of the usual Thursday. The reason is because tomorrow (Thursday) is ANZAC day and out of respect I thought I'd get it out to you today. When I look back at why I started doing this, it was because I wanted you to know more about the person behind the brand. As a small business it's something I can do. It's not something the big international brands can do. Well they can, but it would be an email from a board of directors in suits (ha).

Massive giveaway + First Pink Vest 😮

April 18, 2024

Is it just me or is time flying? There’s so much happening at the moment there’s not a lot of time to stop and reflect. I’ve found myself working a lot more recently. And I say working.
