In this episode, I interview Simon Beard - co-founder of Culture Kings. Culture Kings is a premium streetwear company founded by Simon and his wife Tah-nee in 2008. Together, they grew the business from a market stall on the Gold Coast to a $600 million valuation and a listing on the New York Stock Exchange.
This was a wide ranging and insightful conversation with Simon. He talked about how developments in AI have changed not just retail, but every facet of business. He also talked about how important it is to learn how to sell in business and the power of managing your emotional state to perform at the highest level.
Simon also outlined that the entrepreneurial qualities that successful people have are within everyone and just need to be fostered and unlocked.
