S.2 E-10: Sock It to ‘Em: Culture, Creativity & Custom Socks with guest Samuel Moses
In this episode, we pull up our colorful socks and step into a conversation with Samuel Moses, the brilliant and bold founder behind Sockrates Custom Socks. What started as a fun, fashionable idea became a full-blown culture brand—and today, we dig into the business smarts, team culture, and leadership lessons behind this sole-ful success.
Samuel shares how custom socks became more than swag—they became statements. We dive into building a purpose-driven brand, how he created a team that walks the talk (and the sock), and why intentional culture best fits retention, performance, and creativity.
Oh, and we promise—we don’t toe the line on this one. 😉
🧠 In This Episode, We Cover:
- The story behind Sockrates and its meteoric rise
- How creativity + culture can drive team engagement
- Why branded swag needs to be more than just stuff
- Samuel’s thoughts on the importance of employee recognition
- The sock that started it all (you know we had to ask!)
