The Dion Guagliardo Podcast

In this episode, I interview Adam Jacobs - founder of The Iconic and Hatch. Founded in 2011, Adam quickly grew The Iconic, a fashion e-commerce company, to now have just under 1000s employees and over $500m over revenue in 2023. Adam has now moved onto Hatch, helping young Australian’s find work with employers that match their skills and values.

Throughout the episode, Adam talks about the importance of having diversified thinking styles amongst the leadership team to determine the best outcome. He also emphasises to new business owners the importance of staying extremely close to customers for consistent feedback.
