In this revealing Small Business Big Marketing podcast Bryan Singer takes us deep inside the Rip Curl tent where he shares:
- How the business came to be.
- Stories behind the early days of operating out of a small shop with one sewing machine.
- Why the name Rip Curl.
- What that moment was like when he realised they were on to something.
- How they managed incredible growth and went global.
- How they managed the scarier times.
- The importance of brand values and company values (and what the difference is).
- How they go about seeking customer feedback.
- He even shares how he’d like to be remembered.
Oh, and the quote of the interview? When asked how Rip Curl began, Bryan responds … “We were just looking for a quid to fund our next surfing holiday.”
**Warning – the audio quality is a bit hit and miss on this interview. Bryan was shuffling papers which was a little distracting at times. But if you persevere you’ll pick up some gold ;0) **
