This week we are joined by Fabio Miceli the Founder of Sonno, which started as a bed in a box D2C company but has now evolved into a full sleep brand with both online and offline channels.
This was a great conversation where we learn the origins of launching a sleep brand and how entrepreneurship was always part of him. We talk about the challenges in launching a physical product and utilizing a D2C approach in a traditional brick and mortar business. We close with the evolution towards a full sleep brand of products that is now grown beyond D2C to be omnichannel.
I’d love to know what you took away from this conversation with Fabio Miceli. If you’d like to be considered as a guest or have someone that you’d like to hear me speak to, drop me a message.
