Nathan Waldon

Founder of Everything

After a bazillion plus years of product development for the big guys, nothing ever scratched my retail itch like opening my own eponymous shops. I don't really know how to describe the satisfaction I get, but I can tell you it's true and beyond satisfying. My advice to young entrepreneurs is to do it, but do it smartly. In April we celebrate 16 years of sweetness - OR is that sweet sixteen? Which ever way of saying it - being a retail whore is ok. Be proud. But, be smart. There's nothing like retailing through a pandemic (or a financial collapse in 2008) to give you some wits about your business. Be grateful for tough times. Learn. Savor. Make a plan.
