It is a great blessing to be able to Follow Your Dreams! To be offered the moment in time where you get to build something of your vision and take it to the world.Not everyone gets that opportunity and not everyone who does so succeeds, in fact many of us fail, many times over, and we know ahead of starting out that the dangerous rocks of the journey are most likely to get us on the way.So what makes us take that leap of faith? What spurs us to back our endeavours with our time, our energy, our money and our life force? What kind of mental and emotional make up is needed not only to start, but to survive and thrive on such a voyage of discovery?In seeking the answer to that question we look to the failures, the examples of success and the many ‘works in progress’ from which we can learn and this is what brings us to the drive behind Founder Friday.More information at https://canopycommunity.substack.com/p/founderfridaywhat-is-it-all-about

Series 3, Episode 1 - Rebecca Matthews and Brendan Sleeman. Co-Founders of Wed Magazine: print media in the ‘Destination Wedding’ industry.

April 22, 2022 • Season 3 • Episode 1

In this first episode of the new series, we hear from Rebecca Matthews and Brendan Sleeman, print media founders that have consistently followed their instincts and never veered from their principles around quality, community and sustainability.

15 years into their journey, we find out how to achieve longevity in an industry that had been written off; how to stay afloat in times of global crisis; and how to separate work life and family life when you marry your co-founder!

Wed Magazine’s success is a lesson in understanding your market, your revenue streams and the community you serve. As Brendan describes it, you have to “ditch the ego” and truly listen to your stake holders, if you want to stay relevant.
