#ecommerce Welcome to the Struggle Bus, a new ecommerce podcast experience. I am your host, Vinny O Brien, or as my friends call me, Hey You in the Bushes. The Struggle Bus episode 1 is now ready for your listening pleasure. My guest is the brilliant Tracey Smith from FOXFORD Woolen Mills. Tracey was the first person to back this little passion project and be willing to share here story. The struggle bus is a new wave of content type - focused on the daily grind. Struggle is not a negative word, it is a way to be.
The challenge of the modern SME/SMB ecommerce leader/owner has never been greater. With consumers tightening their belts and technology moving quicker than you can shake a fist at a cloud, it is hard to know what to do and when to do it. One thing I have learned is that your success and ability to do your job is in part who you are at your core and how life impacts you.
Foxford is a remote part of the West of Ireland and this brand has been around for over 130 years. No exit plan here just a mission to create jobs and to continue to provide quality products for the next generation of Foxford customer. bearing that type of responsibility is another consideration and something all of us from tight commnuities can relate to.
The Struggle Bus is a place to share confessions, share tales of doing a job with no ending in sight, knowing every day brings its own navigable challenge. Our lives and experience help us through. The Struggle Bus is designed for all those ecommerce people who go to conferences and have to get back to their place of work before the closing party, because that is the job.
Join us weekly. Monthly. Daily on the Struggle Bus.
