DwellStudio創辦人:活在當下!
????6. 你的第一份工作是什么? ????我收到的第一張支票是我在16歲的時候當夏令營訓練顧問的薪水。但是支票數額太小了,我都懶得去兌現。那張支票我到現在還留著呢。 ????7. 如果是你,你會創辦一家什么樣的公司? ????在我們這個行業里,大家談得最多的莫過于瓦爾比派克眼鏡公司(Warby Parker)。它是消費領域的一家初創公司,但卻有著漂亮的執行,所有的細節也都處理得很好。谷歌公司(Google)也是不錯的選擇。 ????8. 還有哪些公司是你所欽佩的?為什么? ????現在偉大的公司數不勝數,他們都是從全局的角度來看待業務。比如湯姆布鞋 (TOMS),他們掌握了所有的制勝因素:優秀的產品,創新的溝通方式,合理的增長速度;他們同時還用產品改變了世界——我很受他們鼓舞。采取這種全局的發展方式,越來越多的公司不僅吸引了最優秀的人才,獲得了堅定而忠實的客戶群,還讓我們對商業的意義有了新的思考。 ????9. 如果此刻你可以去世界上的任何一個地方,你會去哪里? ????實際上,我此時正在飛往海地的途中填寫這份答案。我要去那里設計、生產DwellStudio的產品線,同時代表非營利組織Every Mother Counts開展工作。Every Mother Counts是一個關注產婦健康的優秀組織,由克里斯蒂?特林頓創辦。從個人的角度來說,我還想去緬甸。上次在越南的時候我就想去,但當時來不及辦理簽證。 ????10. 在關于“擁有一切”的爭論中,你的觀點是什么? ????我認為,“擁有一切”或許是可能的,但 “同時擁有一切”卻不太可能。非常重要的一點是,我們需要認識到,在不同的人生階段,“一切”包含的東西可能大不相同。我堅信,“一切”是一個不斷變化的事物;我們也最好以變化的眼光去看待它。這樣的話,它就會永遠都在,而且可以企及。(財富中文網) ????譯者:朱毓芬/汪皓 ????

????6. What was your first job? ????The first paycheck I ever received was at 16 as a summer camp counselor-in-training. It was so little I never bothered to cash it. I still have it somewhere. ????7. What is one startup you would have wanted to found? ????In my world there is nothing more talked about than Warby Parker. I think as a startup in the consumer space it was beautifully executed. They got all the details right. Google (GOOG) would be good too. ????8. What other companies do you admire? Why? ????There are so many great companies now that are taking a 360 view of business. I am so inspired by TOMS, for example -- they have the holy grail of great product, innovative communication, thoughtful growth, and they are using their product to change the world. I think more and more companies that are taking this approach not only attract the best talent, loyal and committed customers, but change the way we think about what doing business means. ????9. If you could be anywhere in the world right now, where would you be? ????I am actually writing this on an airplane on the way to Haiti to do both design and manufacturing for the DwellStudio line and work on behalf of Every Mother Counts – Christy Turlington's amazing organization advocating maternal health. Personally -- I also have my eye set on Myanmar. I tried to get there when I was last in Vietnam but could not swing the visa on time. ????10. What's your take on the "having it all" debate? ????I think it may be possible to have it all but impossible to have it all at once. I also think it's important to know that "all " is going to look very different at different times in life. I really believe that "all" is a fluid thing and better seen that way because then it's always out there and attainable. |
