QUOTES

04:19 "What we found was one of the most eco-friendly things you could do was reformat them or upcycle them into a new product cause that's not adding any new water to the waste stream. You're not making anything new, you're just upcycling."

09:19 "We also work in Austin, Texas with a nonprofit that employs immigrants and refugees and they make the quilts as well. So we've really tried to build in our mission through our supply chain. And it may not be the reason that people buy, but we know that every time there's a purchase, it's creating value in the world." 

18:19 "It's a mistake that I see a lot of e-commerce companies making early on is not focusing on email lead capture as soon as possible."

22:42 "I think our story was much more interesting early on when we were just trying all over the place, trying to figure everything out. And now it's a story of spreadsheets and analytics and looking at week over week results, which is not the best podcast story, but it's the reality of an e-commerce business."
