HIPbiz #12 Speaks to Corrie and Griffen from 1 Society HIPCAST
-
- News Commentary
In this week's episode of Be Your Business/HIP I meet Founder Corie and Distribution Manager Griffin from Hastings based male grooming company 1 Society. A business with a fun, unique style and an uplifting story to tell.
I speak to Corie about leaving home when he was 18 and going to live at the other end of the country, leaving everything he knew behind. Living for six years in a caravan in rural Sussex to be a farmer and his struggles with depression.
I talk to Griffen about emigrating to Hastings from Montreal, Canada via Europe with his free-spirited family and how a motorbike accident 3 years ago changed his life forever. How he has coped with life altering injuries and moved forward to create a life he enjoys, taking things one step at a time.
Corie introduces us to the 1 Society product range which were developed after seeing a gap in the male grooming market. How 50% of men worldwide have a beard, and the satisfaction he gets from making all the products himself and loving it when customers are happy.
We talk about creating a business which has helped to alleviate Corrie’s depression, a place filled with his mates which is fun, light hearted and doesn’t feel like work. How he keeps his feet on the ground and prioritises having fun with the business, so that it doesn’t become stressful.
It was great to meet the 1 Society team and hear their story, how Corie has created a business from his energy which suits him and other people connect with. It was incredible to meet these two young entrepreneurs who have created a life for themselves through a business they love.
