What does it take to turn one big idea into a $100M+ brand that lasts?
On The Kara Goldin Show, I sit down with Matt Scanlan, Co-Founder and CEO of NAADAM—the cashmere brand that started with a trip to Mongolia and a plan to rethink the industry.
We talk about the $98 sweater that helped put NAADAM on the map, what consumers get wrong about cashmere, and what Matt has learned about growth, profitability, failure, and knowing when to double down—or walk away.
After more than a decade of building, Matt has plenty to say about what it really takes to create a brand with staying power. This is a great conversation for anyone building something of their own. Listen here or anywhere you get your podcasts. 🎧
