Listen Later

For Vices founder Daniel Curtis, navigating supply chain challenges as a business owner is all about letting your “why” drive you, doing everything with love, and surrounding yourself with people whose skill sets complement your own. Tune in today to hear about his journey of curating luxury subscription boxes during the current economic climate.

About Daniel Curtis:

Over the past sixteen years, Daniel has held several executive-level positions, working with some of the world's most prestigious organizations, such as Goldman Sachs and Robb Report. As the Founder & CEO of Vices, Daniel is responsible for spearheading the company's growth and vision. He strives to create a one-of-a-kind experience that truly brings people together and supports moments of thoughtful pause. He is also an avid traveler and has recently had his third child. 


Episode highlights:

  • Even though we are living through one of the most challenging supply chain moments in decades, it is still possible to sustain a thriving business. So, do everything you can to keep your passion alive, and don’t give up! (13:28)
  • The “why” behind your business makes all the difference to the end product. Don’t just do the work to get it done; do it all with love! (15:28)
  • To be an effective leader, it is essential that you understand your personal strengths and weaknesses so that you can bring in talented people to fill in the gaps where you are lacking. (17:27)
  • You don’t have to be everything to everyone; this approach is likely to lead to burnout and a less-than-optimal offering. Instead, define your ideal clients, build a strong relationship with them, and ensure you provide them with the products or services that they really want. (22:09)
  • Every stage of the entrepreneurial journey comes with its own set of challenges. So, as your business grows and changes, you may need to rethink how you approach everything from funding strategies to marketing plans to make sure you address the new obstacles and opportunities that arise. (26:16)


Daniel’s best advice for entrepreneurs:

“Bring on people that really can fly on their own and that bring strengths and ideas that you don’t have.” (13:53)
