Episode Notes

Oberon Design was born at a time before technology was what it is today. Neither social media or Ecommerce existed.

In this episode, we talked to Oberon Vice-President, Becca Smith, who passionately shares their story and says "There's life beyond your phone". Becca - a cancer survivor - tells us how they've grown their handmade leather goods business, where they started promoting their goods at faires before getting their first website build in 2000. But she says: "We’ve made a good a living, but it’s never been about making a lot of money."

Tune in as we speak about being unique, making things that are valuable and how customers rely on businesses to be honest.

Some of the best quotes from the episode:

• “We make everything we make. So we can make our own decisions. We’re independent.”
• “People are more interested in American-made things today, but for years nobody cared.”
• “It’s hard for people to imagine that anything happens without the use technology.”
• “There is life beyond your phone.”
• “The most important thing is that you make something of valuable and something that is unique.”
• “We’ve made a good a living, but it’s never been about making a lot of money.”
• “It’s harder & harder to catch all the new waves in the marketplace. It takes a lot energy, savvy & smarts.”
• “Our customers rely on us for honesty and integrity.”
