In this checkout chat, Nathan sits down with Jared and Jimmy from Plant with Willow, a tech startup helping people keep their houseplants alive. From Jared’s love for Google Home and his must-read The Way of Kings, to Jimmy’s obsession with his custom-built PC and love of the High Performance podcast, the duo share their passion for tech, books, and building a fun, dynamic team culture. The pair express admiration for plant care brand We the Wild and the seamless customer experience of Vitable and explain why prioritisation and time management are the biggest challenges in scaling their business, especially with exciting partnerships like their recent deal with Bunnings.
