Description

This show gives you, the Owner/Founder Executive the chance to see how somebody else did it - innovate within an established market.  Jay Carpenter and his co-founder, Alexis Carpenter, had a need, which led to an idea that took them to starting Handley Watches.

Jay shares the journey.  He gives us his “WHY”.  He told us what he didn’t know and had to find out.  Jay will let us in on how they did it - from day one.

Handley Watches gives us a blend of the old and the new, so that we can move, work and play without the weight of connection dragging us down and back.

This interview took place as part of my weekly radio show, Catalytic Conversations, with IBGR.Network every Friday at 2 pm EST.  Drop by any time.  Join the IBGR.community or download the IBGR app to get the full show notes.
