Like you, I have been through a lot of ups and downs in my career as an entrepreneur. I was able to sell my last company, but previously I went out of business and then kicked out of my business by my partners. I wished someone could have saved me all this time.
En El programa de radio para pequeñas empresas this week, I talked with Shawn D. Nelson, the CEO of publicly traded retailer, Lovesac who says he can help with this problem. His company sells furniture as modular couches and bean bag chairs. Shawn holds a BA in Mandarin Chinese from the University of Utah and a master’s degree in strategic design and management from Parsons, The New School for Design in New York City, where he later became an instructor.
Shawn is the author of a new book called, “Let Me Save You 25 Years: Mistakes, Miracles, and Lessons from the Lovesac Story”. In our interview on El programa de radio para pequeñas empresas we talked about his incredible entrepreneurial journey which he started as a teenager.
We discussed many of the lessons he learned in the past 25 years of running Lovesac:
