Do this.Scoff this conversation down your earlobesHANDS DOWN.One of the most important conversations I’ve EVER had.We dove deeper.deeper.deeperdeeper.Crossing the chasm from challenger “Thinking” to challenger “Being”.I’ve listened back 4 times.Scribbled copious scraggly notes.Still unearthing glistening pearls of pithy and profound wisdom.Totally honored to welcome David Hieatt to HUNGRY.David’s career is challenger “Being”- worked at Saatchi & Saatchi and Saatchi, before founding howies in 1995 and selling to Timberland, a VF Company.- created The DO Lectures - voted one of the top 10 idea festivals in the world by The Guardian Over 150 million views online.- founded and building Hiut Denim Co.SO excited for you to listen to this.ON THE MENU:1. Why challenger brands must be a Speed boat not an Ocean liner - lean into being small, nimble, agile2. The way to the future is to get there before anybody else, Speedboats get there faster.3. Why scale kills magic - challenger brands must 10 x creativity vs. 10 x size.4. Why growth can be stressful - your company starts running YOU, don't climb the wrong mountain.5. Why "Busy, Shallow" is the most dangerous place for challenger brands - stay in the" Deep, Impact" zone.6. Why Creativity is NOT following - remember BIG ideas are often small7.
