This week, I'm talking with Mike Lamagna, Founder of Long Wharf Supply Co., a clothing brand that makes sweaters from recycled oyster shells, recycled water bottles, and natural lamb's wool.
Mike’s passion started when he was carried aboard a boat on the Merrimack River in Newburyport, MA., when he was only three days old. Growing up on the water, Mike saw how much plastic and waste was in the ocean and wanted to do something about it. Utilizing storytelling, relatability, authenticity, and sustainability, Mike launched Long Wharf Supply Co in the Fall of 2016.
Throughout our conversation, we discuss the importance of storytelling and being an authentic brand. Mike shares his time on Shark Tank and how it ignited Long Wharf Supply Co. Mike also shares why small, intentional expansion for the community is essential to a successful business.
Topics Discussed:
The reality behind achieving success
Following the bread crumbs and finding opportunities
Sharing the story vs. selling the product
How sustainable, recycled clothing positively impacts the environment
