Where did the idea for your brand come from, and what made you passionate enough to build a business around it?

(Think: the lightbulb moment, a problem you wanted to solve, a personal story, etc.)

How long did it take you to go from idea to launch — and what did that process look like?

(Any surprises? Big pivots? Early wins?)

Did you start DTC or in retail? Why did you choose that path first?

(And how has that strategy evolved?)

What’s one behind-the-scenes element of running your brand that people don’t usually see — but plays a big role in your success?

(Could be your production process, team setup, tech stack, or day-to-day rhythm.)

What’s one thing you didn’t expect to be true about building a DTC brand?

(Any myths you’d bust or lessons you wish you knew earlier?)

What are a few tools or platforms you can’t live without in your day-to-day?

(Bonus points if you want to shout out a fellow Tool Founder from 1-800-D2C 👀)

What’s the most common feedback you get from customers — and how have you responded to it?

What’s next for your brand? Anything exciting on the horizon you’d like to share?

What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received?
