Walking with Jamie Laing, Founder of Candy Kittens: He built a $300 million dollar sweet company.

Jamie Laing built Candy Kittens into one of the fastest growing confectionery brands in the UK.

I walked with Jamie to understand how he turned personality into brand power, why not knowing what you’re doing can be your biggest advantage and what people don’t tell you about building companies while battling anxiety.

Candy Kittens has grown into a nationally recognised brand - proving you can build a serious business without taking yourself too seriously.

Some of the ideas we spoke about:
🍬 The power of naivety in business🧠 Why founders crave validation from strangers😬 Anxiety and the hidden realities of entrepreneurship🔥 Building brand through personality🎯 Why purpose will always beat money

This conversation is funny, honest and slightly chaotic (in the best way).

If you’re building anything - this one’s for you.
