The Brand Decision Nobody Has the Guts to Make with Porter James

Want to scale your brand without spending more time, energy and money on marketing? Book a call with us here: Today's guest is Joshua, founder and creative director of Porter James, a menswear brand he built from Auckland, New Zealand into one of the more compelling independent brands in the ecommerce space right now. This is not a conversation about creative vision or brand aesthetics. It is about the filter that makes every hard decision easier, and what happens when you build a brand without one. We talk about why he dropped a bestselling product while it was still selling, how to hold the creative and business sides together when you are the only person doing both, and why the brands that look like they have always known who they are did not get lucky. They just never stopped asking the right question. If you are trying to build something that lasts without losing what makes it worth building in the first place, this episode breaks down what that actually takes.Sonnet 4.6
