“We are one of the early content, community, commerce companies. Community is core to what we do. The thing that I'm most proud of is we have created meaningful relationships with people. So, when we do something great, our community is quick to let us know. When we do something stupid, our community is even quicker to let us know. And that's wonderful. It just shows that people really care. The best way to validate any media platform, any eCommerce platform, any platform does people care enough to actually let you know how you're doing”
— Ben Clymer

In the technological advancement era, with various devices at our disposal, who still wears a watch? Lots of people, as it turns out. As a multi-billion dollar industry, watches are always on-trend and sales grow every year. To understand the business and its future, Ben joins the conversation to share insights about the watch industry.

Recently, Ben spoke with Suzy Founder & CEO Matt Britton on the Speed of Culture podcast about:

  • Why pursuing your passion can be effective and lucrative for entrepreneurs.
  • How community building translates to growth and revenue.
  • The secret sauce for turning a blog into an ecommerce hub (sneak peak: it’s listening.)
  • The future of luxury goods (specifically watches), and how consumer purchasing behavior is changing with the impending economic downturn.
