DwellStudio创办人:活在当下!

DwellStudio创办人:活在当下!

Colleen Leahey 2014年01月20日
克里斯汀•勒米厄的信条是,活在当下。所以,尽管上一次创业因为金融危机的突然爆发而功败垂成,但她依然能够坦然接受,从头再来。

    6. 你的第一份工作是什么?

    我收到的第一张支票是我在16岁的时候当夏令营训练顾问的薪水。但是支票数额太小了,我都懒得去兑现。那张支票我到现在还留着呢。

    7. 如果是你,你会创办一家什么样的公司?

    在我们这个行业里,大家谈得最多的莫过于瓦尔比派克眼镜公司(Warby Parker)。它是消费领域的一家初创公司,但却有着漂亮的执行,所有的细节也都处理得很好。谷歌公司(Google)也是不错的选择。

    8. 还有哪些公司是你所钦佩的?为什么?

    现在伟大的公司数不胜数,他们都是从全局的角度来看待业务。比如汤姆布鞋 (TOMS),他们掌握了所有的制胜因素:优秀的产品,创新的沟通方式,合理的增长速度;他们同时还用产品改变了世界——我很受他们鼓舞。采取这种全局的发展方式,越来越多的公司不仅吸引了最优秀的人才,获得了坚定而忠实的客户群,还让我们对商业的意义有了新的思考。

    9. 如果此刻你可以去世界上的任何一个地方,你会去哪里?

    实际上,我此时正在飞往海地的途中填写这份答案。我要去那里设计、生产DwellStudio的产品线,同时代表非营利组织Every Mother Counts开展工作。Every Mother Counts是一个关注产妇健康的优秀组织,由克里斯蒂•特林顿创办。从个人的角度来说,我还想去缅甸。上次在越南的时候我就想去,但当时来不及办理签证。

    10. 在关于“拥有一切”的争论中,你的观点是什么?

    我认为,“拥有一切”或许是可能的,但 “同时拥有一切”却不太可能。非常重要的一点是,我们需要认识到,在不同的人生阶段,“一切”包含的东西可能大不相同。我坚信,“一切”是一个不断变化的事物;我们也最好以变化的眼光去看待它。这样的话,它就会永远都在,而且可以企及。(财富中文网)

    6. What was your first job?

    The first paycheck I ever received was at 16 as a summer camp counselor-in-training. It was so little I never bothered to cash it. I still have it somewhere.

    7. What is one startup you would have wanted to found?

    In my world there is nothing more talked about than Warby Parker. I think as a startup in the consumer space it was beautifully executed. They got all the details right. Google (GOOG) would be good too.

    8. What other companies do you admire? Why?

    There are so many great companies now that are taking a 360 view of business. I am so inspired by TOMS, for example -- they have the holy grail of great product, innovative communication, thoughtful growth, and they are using their product to change the world. I think more and more companies that are taking this approach not only attract the best talent, loyal and committed customers, but change the way we think about what doing business means.

    9. If you could be anywhere in the world right now, where would you be?

    I am actually writing this on an airplane on the way to Haiti to do both design and manufacturing for the DwellStudio line and work on behalf of Every Mother Counts – Christy Turlington's amazing organization advocating maternal health. Personally -- I also have my eye set on Myanmar. I tried to get there when I was last in Vietnam but could not swing the visa on time.

    10. What's your take on the "having it all" debate?

    I think it may be possible to have it all but impossible to have it all at once. I also think it's important to know that "all " is going to look very different at different times in life. I really believe that "all" is a fluid thing and better seen that way because then it's always out there and attainable.
