Founders, I want your startups to make a ton of money But I don't want you to lose sight of that is not the purpose of you building your company 1. Build Community. 2. Grow a wildly successful and profitable company. 3. Assuming you need capital, let mission aligned investors support you. 4. Give back as you build. 5. Create exit(s) / liquidity for all involved. This BUILDS UP community & keeps culture we all love. Capitalism can be used to create access for upward mobility, not restrict it. That balance is the biggest challenge (not the exit). Don't forget where you came from https://lnkd.in/en3ZqXRD

People always ask where the name HNDRX came from. Born from listening to Jimi Hendrix and sipping Hendricks Gin , our name emerged in a stroke of utter genius. We simply removed the vowels, and here we are—HNDRX. *Just to be clear – we've refined our process since then. But there's more to it. Hendrix wasn't just a musician; he was a revolutionary. He redefined what music could be, pushing boundaries and breaking conventions. At HNDRX, we channel that same spirit. We believe that the best ideas come from those who dare to defy the norm, challenge convention and think differently. Naming our business HNDRX was our way of paying homage to this mindset. It’s a reminder that innovation often comes from the most unexpected places. We didn’t follow a traditional path; we created our own. And that's how we approach everything we do. In a world that often rewards conformity, we find strength in the unconventional. We believe in the power of big ideas, audacious thinking and delicious gin. Our journey started with a moment of inspiration, and it continues with a commitment to challenging the status quo and shifting perceptions. Do you have an interesting story about your company name? #naming #branding #strategy #hndrx #design

Dropping the beatbox knowledge in Paris last week. This was a surprise team-building / energiser session at a finance conference. It's amazing how quickly a crowd can move from "How do I get out of this" to "Let's goooo!" A favourite delivery model of mine is to.. 1. shock the audience (create fascination / intrigue / awe even) 2. make them believe they 'absolutely' can't do it (by presenting a rhythm that sounds impossible to achieve in the time given) - this is an important step! 3. ensure the realisation (in real-time) that they 'absolutely' can do it (after carefully guiding the group through a step-by-step beat learning process). Once this is successful, the group is hooked for the finale where we take the energy through the roof (which requires all participants to be fully on board). Love to see these transformations happen before my eyes. #beatbox #transformation #teambuilding #powerofthevoice #energiser
