Everyone says “enjoy the journey” or “trust the process” or “all you’ve got is the journey”.
BUT… it’s so easy to take it all WAY TOO SERIOUSLY.
So much pressure on yourself to “make it” (this is me)
So much pressure on landing listing.
So much pressure on raising money.
It’s so easy to forget to HAVE FUN.
Louis Collin and James Tyler - Currently fundraising under SEIS co-founders of @Local beer
These donnie's have become very good mates of mine over the past year (well, not so much James, he’s got a odious involuntary farting “condition”) ... okay mate
But, Louis. Yup, Louis is top banana.
These two founders are a breath of fresh air (slightly ironic, actually their breath stinks ha ha ha HA).
I jest.
James is a creative genius. Louis is a true operator - I’ve never seen someone pack sample boxes so quickly.
When I hang out with Louis and James
they remind me to HAVE FUN.
Like their beer, I feel Light and Cloudy.
We’re Light Buddies. Budlights.
They ACTUALLY really enjoy the journey. Yes, they take it very seriously but they always have fun.
🍺love the hustling on Limebikes in the pouring rain to sell London Boozers.
🍺laughing when your launch party goes completely Pete Tong
🍺actually Celebrating every single small win
Everything in the world is becoming so serious.
Our podcast reminds me to relaaaaxxx and have fun.
When you boil it down we’re JUST selling food and drink. It’s not rocket science.
Take it all very seriously. But don’t take it seriously at all
