Founder Friday by Canopy Community
In this first episode of the new series, we hear from Rebecca Matthews and Brendan Sleeman, print media founders that have consistently followed their instincts and never veered from their principles around quality, community and sustainability.
15 years into their journey, we find out how to achieve longevity in an industry that had been written off; how to stay afloat in times of global crisis; and how to separate work life and family life when you marry your co-founder!
Wed Magazine’s success is a lesson in understanding your market, your revenue streams and the community you serve. As Brendan describes it, you have to “ditch the ego” and truly listen to your stake holders, if you want to stay relevant.
