"You guys might be more successful than you realize, and if you end up doing so, you need to have a plan." tells Connor Wilson about the best advice he received from his early mentors.

Connor Wilson of Thursday Boot Company

Connor is the Cofounder and Executive Chairman of Thursday Boot Company.

He started this business with his Cofounder and CEO Nolan Walsh out of a NYC apartment back in 2014. With no prior experience and only their personal savings, the two of them embarked on a journey to bring quality back to footwear by combining classic craftsmanship with modern technology.

Today, Thursday is a leading American e-commerce brand offering men's and women's footwear and accessories that emphasize quality, comfort and versatility.

I’m fascinated with how they approaches sustainability and how they’re constantly innovating and improving. It even caught the attention of a big brand competitor. With more brands innovating like Thursday, it will inspire big brands to adopt sustainable practices and change the world for the better.

He gave an interesting analogy of how business is like a soccer team. And it's much more than just about having different team members working as one. But it's also about setting boundaries in your business. And it's also about keeping score and knowing where you're at.

Bruce Jeffreys of Dresden Vision
Bruce has started two very successful businesses. The first one is GoGet, the first car sharing company in Australia. Bruce started this way back in 2003 when car sharing wasn’t a big thing like it is today.
And the second business is Dresden Vision, an eyewear company. What I found fascinating is they makes glasses from recycled plastics and they are selling it at affordable prices.
There’s so much plastic waste all over the world. And Dresden is turning it into glasses, which is very commonly used.
It was great to hear his story and his vision.
