Seun Olubodun - Founder of Duke & Winston

<p>Duke &amp; Winston is a brand for bulldogs, their people &amp; those who live with The Bulldog Spirit. Launched originally 2010 - 2016 as a trunk show, retail &amp; wholesale business (sold through Urban Outfitters and over 80 national/international accounts) with no real target market &amp; too many skus, Seun revived the brand in 2020 &amp; with a renewed focus on what he loves most, bulldogs &amp; the die-hard folks like him around the world who love them. Seun's ultimate goal is to be an example of how to successfully build a grassroots brand around a niche community.</p> <p>In this episode, Seun talks with Addie Elabor about how a trip home to visit his parents in Boston ultimately gave him the creative inspiration to start his own brand.</p>
