Hi! I'm Shawn Nelson, founder and CEO of Lovesac Furniture Company and I started this business Vlog, GET OFF THE COUCH, to teach entrepreneurs and other executives how to start your business and design your life at the same time. Lovesac customers are also nuts about my business vlog because it shows how our #LovesacFamily is getting ready to disrupt the modern furniture category with our unique modular couch design called Sactionals, the only couch shipped online and sent to your door in a matter of weeks. Designed for Life and built to evolve, my new couch system partners with my original comfy design of the Lovesac. These shredded foam filled "bean bag" looking things are the perfect fodder for social media with hundreds of celebrities purchasing our product.
Back in 2005 I also won a million dollars on TV on FOX in Richard Branson's REBEL BILLIONAIRE which took my small boutique business to what it is today. It hasn't been easy but it has been colorful.
i remember meeting shawn at a NJ lovesac opening and the first moment i walked into a lovesac in san jose when i was young. i am so happy with my products, thank you and im so happy for you shawn
@6:12 you place the side covers on, I found this to be a bit difficult for my cloth, Vintage Blue Rain Chenille. If I didn't align the tubular edging JUST right it was even harder to place. Took some struggling but it did eventually fit beautifully.
You had a block in the corner at the begging of setting it up and when you were clamping the backs on it wasn’t there but I couldn’t see any clamps on the base in the same corner, how is this supposed to be done on an inside corner?
There just needs to be a new law. "Whatever product is made must last longer on average than the product before" this one simple law would ensure progress, even if it was slow. They may choose to only make it last 1% longer, but over 50 years, the newest ones would last significantly longer until almost nothing would break. They'd use ultra premium materials and excellent building techniques. Things would become amazing.
If things were actually made good people still wouldn't care lmao now it's just a an even more expensive product that will probably get thrown away for the latest and greatest anyway.
You don't. You pay them more for a better product. That's where the failure is. They'll make any damn refrigerator you want for the right price. For the price people are willing to pay, you get junk.
@@mrnoonan81 It only doesn’t work because the majority is too scared to act. And considering that lobbying and corruption are both extremely prevalent, yes, large corporations and their greed can be considered tyranny. The People have a duty to stop them and nobody cares, nobody will take action.
@@ryan.8783It doesn’t work cuz you wouldn’t want it done to you. No one in their sane mind would. If people who think they’re being shafted by you approached you and decided they wanted to wring your arm to get their just desserts, do you really think you’ll let them? Also, a fair number of these “tyranical” people have come from poverty. I’d even go as far to say they were poorer than you. So they know, they just got to the point where they don’t care. Forcing people to get what you want is the worst way to do things. If I was a CEO on one of these companies, I wont give a toss what people say if they just run their mouths crying the world’s unfair. If they bring me solutions I care about and I feel I can still grow the company while helping the people then I’ll be more inclined to listen.
So do you want corporations to suck you dry of all your money by selling things that last maybe a few years? Planned obsolescence is a shitty practice that needs to stop you know
Would you pay $5,000-$10,000 for a fridge and freezer that would last a lifetime or pay $1,000 and replace it every 5 years? The high end long lasting steel fridge market still exists. Consumers just choose the cheaper in the short term option since they want to change style every 5-10 years anyways.
Great Shawnism. I have enjoyed Season 1 and look forward to season 2. Nate seems like a great person! Great comment when he said "I just have learned to love the grind and the grit." Maintaining that attitude throughout the process of growing his company shows his patience and ambition to see his company through to the top.
Beautiful story man!!! The thing that stuck out to me the most is when he said that even the DOCTORS were giving him their OWN blood out of their own veins to keep him alive when the blood bank ran out 😮💨man you’ve had a wild ride but I’m glad ur able to be here with us🖤 thank u for ur service
I was hit by a car going 40mph in 2003. My injuries are far less severe than yours. But I tell people that it’s better to have our injuries on the outside. People who are walking around angry, resentful or taking joy from hurting others have their injuries on the inside. I will always choose mine over theirs. God bless you and thank you for your service.
Hi there!, Great info shared today. Is there a way to contact/connect with you two? If so, how likely is that you’ll respond? I know you two are very busy.
I love how you said that things as are not as important as people (when it came to your wrecked car). Totally agree but I have never put it to words like you did. That principle will definitely guide when it comes to staying cool and being kind in 'not so cool situations'. Thanks for helping drive that principle home.
So hard to take someone seriously when they say "on accident."" But then I must remind myself that language is constantly evolving... maybe I'll sound like a fossil in a hundred years saying "by accident." Which, I'm sorry, is correct english!!!
He probably could afford to give some of his stock options away because he had already received millions. 60% American lives paycheck to paycheck. The CEO should stop patting himself on the back
And yet most rich would opt getting even richer. Let's applaud the ones who choose to do something less selfish even though they didn't give away all they had
This is bad advice. You got lucky with one chill dude in management. People looking for a serious job don’t listen to this guy lol. Make yourself unforgettable after you get the job
