Growth comes from listening. On this episode of The Speed of Culture pod, listen to how Hodinkee founder Ben Clymer built an ecommerce platform by lending an ear to their readers.
“We are one of the early content, community, commerce companies. Community is core to what we do. The thing that I'm most proud of is we have created meaningful relationships with people. So, when we do something great, our community is quick to let us know. When we do something stupid, our community is even quicker to let us know. And that's wonderful. It just shows that people really care. The best way to validate any media platform, any eCommerce platform, any platform does people care enough to actually let you know how you're doing”
