It was a privilege speaking to Andy Poplar, founder of Vinegar and Brown Paper for the final episode in this series of In Conversation with SMEs.
I started this podcast with a single aim – to provide inspiration, motivation and energy to those looking to start, scale or pivot their business by telling stories of others who have been brave, followed their heart, kept their nerve and grown something quite remarkable. And for me, Andy’s story is the epitome of this, and I can’t think of a more perfect story to end this current series with.
Andy had a successful career in the advertising industry, working as a creative copywriter, but reached a point of burnout and left the industry altogether, wanting to put as much distance as possible between him and what he had always loved which was the magic and beauty of words, the interplay of words and their ability to come off the page and create something much more powerful – real emotion.
But thankfully after a few years the green shoots of his love for the written word started to return and he began to explore other avenues for his creativity. He had an idea about etching words onto glass, and within a year his brand – Vinegar and Brown Paper - had gone viral and Oprah Winfrey was just one of the people who was captured by the beauty, simplicity and poignancy of his unique creations.
This conversation was like food for my soul. Andy and I talk about our love of working for ourselves, the sense of freedom you have in being able to explore new ideas, try new things and feel empowered to say ‘no’ to things that you don’t want to do.
So, sit back and grab a cuppa, I think you’re going to enjoy this.
