Jock Fairweather

 
Jock intro.png

Jock Fairweather is no run of the mill guy. Having grown up in PNG, excelling in his studies at the London College of Fashion, working as a shoe designer in Geneva and then founding Little Tokyo Two in Brisbane – it’s clear that whatever Jock puts his mind to, he will succeed at.

That’s not to say it’s all been smooth sailing. Trying to forge his shoe designs as a luxury brand in Europe nearly mentally broke him, and now he wants to share his experiences to ensure startups at LT2 don’t have to go through the same thing. This episode is a must-listen for those who want to be inspired by Jock’s tenacity and ability when knocked down to stand back up taller than before.

Jock is a self-confessed ‘take him or leave him’ type of guy so he doesn’t hold back on anything in the interview, which makes for a gripping Executive Story. We discuss:

  • The importance of being a big thinker and a creative thinker;
  • The belief that whatever you can envision, you can become;
  • Working hard and fast at your passion;
  • Picking yourself back up at your lowest point; and
  • Being ruthless with your time and finding happiness in discipline.
