Read the story below! Hari Mari's story started in Indonesia, where the husband and wife team, Jeremy and Lila Stewart, lived and worked for several years, starting in 2007. During their time in the island nation, Jeremy was producing a documentary film on children fighting hunger and malnutrition in Southeast Asia, and Lila was volunteering on behalf of the American Women's Association in Jakarta, spearheading in-country fundraising, clothing drives, and food donations to aid and support orphans across the archipelago. Their unique & indelible experiences clicked and spurred a collective passion for helping kids abroad. Moving back to the States in 2010 and expecting their first child, the two decided the next project they undertook would be to help kids here in the US, and when they saw an unmet need for comfortable and colorful flip flops at a premium level, they married the two passions together to found Hari Mari. Jeremy and Lila were shocked to learn that pediatric cancer is the most fatal disease amongst American kids, a deeply concerning statistic that immediately launched what is now an embedded part of Hari Mari's DNA – giving 1% of sales to support kids battling pediatric cancer – they call it Flops Fighting Cancer. Paying homage to the origin of their commitment to helping kids and the trace root of the brand, “Hari” (Hahr- ee) literally means “sun” in the Indonesian Language while “Mari” (Mahr- ee) means “sea” in Latin, but Lila & Jeremy are more likely to tell you Hari Mari just means making a great pair of flip flops that also help support a lot of incredibly brave children. Hari Mari launched in 2012, bringing clever color and superlative comfort together in a singular flip flop, creating looks as unique as the people who wear them. Described by Details Magazine as “The only sandals a guy should wear” and tapped as “stylish and absurdly comfortable” by Outside Magazine. Hari Mari's can be found in select retailers and online at HariMari.com. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/the-girl-gang-podcast/message

Having a particular set of skills doesn’t have to limit you to one industry. You can always follow in the footsteps of Hari Mari founder Jeremy Stewart.Jeremy spent a decade as a political consultant: But after two presidential campaigns in Indonesia, he and his wife Lila were burned out. Their next move was something completely different — they started selling flip flops.But it turns out that making the switch from politics to products is not as wild a leap as you might think.“A politician is just a walking consumer good,” Jeremy says. “You dress them up, you attach messages, send them to the right distribution channel. If you do it right, you have favorable results.”Back in Dallas, hunting for a new consumer good to dress up and sell, he kept coming back to flip flops. His research revealed that the market was bigger than he’d expected and wasn’t yet dominated by a single player. And the products hadn’t been redesigned in years.Jeremy applied his political campaign skills to creating a sandal that would get consumers’ votes. Through focus groups, he learned that people wanted color, comfort and casual styles.There were missteps along the way. Jeremy had no experience in footwear. His first order of 25,000 pairs was held up at customs over incorrect labels, and 10,000 were too faulty to sell.Jeremy and Lila gave the faulty-but-wearable pairs to a non-profit for donation — which instead sold them at massively reduced rates online.However, that experience hasn’t dampened Jeremy’s generous spirit: Hari Mari donates one percent of sales to pediatric oncology and hematology centers. The company also donates specially designed flip flops to service members and first responders who have lost a leg, and flip flops to medical workers on the front line of the pandemic.“It’s a big part of our culture. It gives us real purpose because we know that if we can increase our sales and grow our brand footprint, there is a backend that is super helpful to children and families who are battling cancer.Featured Entrepreneur

As a self-proclaimed travel junkie and risk taker, Jeremy Stewart knew he had the risk tolerance to become an entrepreneur. While looking for business ideas, Jeremy and his wife considered five different consumer goods, but kept coming back to flip flops. They're both flip flop wearers and, after spending five years in Indonesia where Jeremy worked as a political consultant, they went to a local store for a new pair and realized nothing about the casual, open-toe shoes had changed — there was zero innovation. In a sea of uncomfortable black and brown flip flops, Jeremy saw an opportunity. He hired a focus group moderator, gave him a script and sat behind the glass for three days listening to college students answer questions about their flip flop purchasing habits and perceptions. The main point of contention with flip flops on the market? The little piece that goes between your toes — it's uncomfortable, and can take months to break in — sometimes it was even a bloody experience. So Jeremy set out to end “the war on toes.” He hired an engineer who worked for Teva to design a memory foam toe piece that mitigated the typical breaking in period for flip flops, and it was truly a game changer. On the marketing side, instead of being “steeped in the surf culture,” Hari Mari, which is Dallas based, positions itself as more of a lifestyle brand. This kept the brand from being pigeonholed into one retail category, like surf shops, and instead helped the flip flops land on shelves of both local boutiques and large retailers like Zappos. As a premium brand, Hari Mari also found a sweet spot with pricing. “[W]e saw, you know, 500 brands producing flip-flops from 50 bucks and below,” Jeremy says, while there were just five  companies making flip flops for more than $90. “And what we really saw was this gap — this under-serviced gap between 50 and 90, where literally no one was playing.”From 30 stores in three states to nearly 1,000 stores in 49 states within eight years, Hari Mari's comfortable, high-quality flip flop has challenged the casual footwear industry. “For us, it's creating a really good product that is actually different than what's next to it.” ##Prentice's Takeaway

Flip flops are an important staple in any wardrobe, especially if you love the outdoors. But if you're anything like us, just any ol flip flop won't do. After living in Jakarta, Indonesia for three years, Lila Stewart and her husband, Jeremy, returned back to Texas and they designed with intention a flip flop that was different. They wanted fun colors, they wanted to be design-forward with clean aesthetics, and they wanted to eliminate any discomfort and breaking in period. Essentially, they hyper-focused on three things: simplicity, color, and comfort. And they accomplished all these in spades with their company, Hari Mari. As a nod to their time in Indonesia, Hari means "of the sun" and Mari means "of the sea". These lifestyle flops will raise your expectations of what a good flip flop should consist of. But, even more awesome is that proceeds of all sales go to support pediatric cancer patients through their non-profit, Flops Fighting Cancer.

“Your feet take you on these adventures. You should have quality flip flops that you keep for a long time. That really became our core story.” That spark of an idea led Jeremy Stewart and his wife to found premium flip-flop brand Hari-Mari. In doing so, they essentially created a new market that involved changing behavior around what we put on our feet in warm weather. He took some time to share the story of founding the company and building the brand this week on the On Brand podcast. About Jeremy Stewart Jeremy is the founder of Hari Mari flip flops – a Dallas-based sandal brand he launched in 2012 with his wife, Lila. The idea for Hari Mari was born out of the couple’s time spent living in Indonesia, where they were consistently disappointed with their flip flops – marked by painful break-in periods and the same iterations of black and brown color options. Moving back to the States, they doubled down on their unhealthy obsession with fixing these issues, Hari Mari, and combining color & comfort in a premium flip flop! The Stewarts married this new footwear venture with their passion for helping kids, donating a portion of Hari Mari’s sales to support children battling cancer. They call it Flops Fighting Cancer. Hari Mari has since grown its footprint to include some 1500 retail stores covering 50 U.S. States, Mexico, Japan, Canada, and the Bahamas, in addition to the brand’s own site, HariMari.com. Episode Highlights Start with scrappy market research. As you know, I’m a fan of scrappy marketing. However, until talking with Jeremy, I’d never heard of scrappy market research. When he was struck by the idea of creating premium flip flops, he invited interested parties to a focus group moderated by his friend in exchange for some free pizza. The result? Great intel and a solid start. “Flipping the script.” With Hari Mari, everything is different. Compared to the rest of the category, the product is different. “We started with the pain point — the toe post.” That’s the annoying piece of plastic that turns most people off of flip flips entirely. Jeremy knew they had to do something different, so they brought in the designer from sandal brand Teva to develop something completely different and exceptionally comfortable. Fixing the problem. “We had to talk about the problem first,” says Jeremy. But once you address this challenge you have a standout product. “People are willing to pay more for quality and for something that doesn’t end up in a landfill.” What brand has made Jeremy smile recently? Jeremy shared a few other entrepreneurial Texas fashion brands that make him smile including Criquet Shirts and Howler Brothers both located in Austin.

A few weeks ago on this podcast, Dan and Ian were talking about some of their biggest pet peeves. In that episode, Ian lamented that the quality of flip flops available for purchase had drastically declined. What happened next should come as no surprise. A few listeners of this show reached out to us to let us know that they had started their own product business manufacturing flip flops. Jeremy Stewart is the co-founder of Hari Mari, which he started with his wife Leila. Hari Mari manufactures and sells premium flip flops across the globe. On today's episode, Jeremy joins us to talk about how their company was founded, how his experience as a political consultant helped Hari Mari grow, and how they were able to go from ground zero to having their products sold in big box retail stores.

We go to the Hari Mari headquarters in Dallas Texas to talk to Jeremy Stewart. From patents to paying off college kids for their thoughts, Jeremy takes us way back to the start.  By far one of our most favorite casts. Plus he gave us free beer, so... bonus.

There’s a trend in the US toward casual wear, and in footwear that’s running shoes -- and flip flops. One of fastest growing brands just might be Hari Mari, who created a lifestyle brand almost by accident. Rob Sanchez sat down with this brand’s founders Lila and Jeremy Stewart on location at eTail West in Palm Springs, CA.  How Lila and Jeremy figured out issues people want to hear, distilled the information down, produce ads and aw what made the needle move A trend towards casual in the US, running shoes and flip flops Fighting cancer Challenges of a first order, re-labeling 25,000 pairs of flip flops How giving  to a cause  backfired a bit on their launch Going on the road and moving on to trade shows Flip flops meeting a need vs carving a new category for premium high end stores Creating a lifestyle brand without knowing it Now offering web-only products Marketing strategies and considerations

Lila Stewart is the co-founder of Hari Mari, a high-end flip flop brand sold in stores like Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, Zappos, and by hundreds of other retailers as well as through the company’s own website. These flip flops are made with high-quality materials and feature bold, bright colors and extreme comfort. They have been featured in Forbes Magazine, Vogue Paris and Business Insider among other global media outlets. Hari Mari believes in the Ripple Effect, donating 1% of their sales to the fight against pediatric cancer. Lila’s journey began in Jakarta, Indonesia, where she and her husband lived for three years. During her time there, Lila volunteered for human rights organization American Women’s Organization of Jakarta. Upon returning to the United States, Lila and her husband realized how stale and low-quality the flip flops available here were, so they set about revitalizing the market with their own high-quality brand. Lila’s philanthropic roots continue today with Hari Mari’s donations to pediatric cancer research. Lila believes that great leadership stems from lifting up the people around her, treating everyone with fairness, and tackling every challenge with a positive outlook. Lila Stewart is a phenomenal example of how the Ripple Effect can bring lasting, positive changes that go far beyond the profitability of a business and extend outward to the community at large. — What makes a strong business leader? Certainly, guiding the organization toward success is a factor, but an exceptional leader is also a champion for positive company culture, employee engagement and satisfaction, and a sense of family and community. An exceptional leader uses the Ripple Effect to not just run a business but to make lasting positive changes to everyone around them. Lila Stewart understands that the role a leader plays goes far beyond the bottom line of the business. Lila and her husband co-founded Hari Mari in an effort to bring a quality product to a stagnant and uninspired market. In doing so, they have built a strong organization that offers great value to its customers, takes care of its employees, and gives back to its community through giving a portion of its sales to the fight against pediatric cancer. In this episode, Lila shares how the idea for Hari Mari came about, and how her philanthropic spirit became interwoven in the company’s culture from its beginning. Lila discusses how her gratitude, mindfulness and passion have all contributed to her success as a leader and to the success of Hari Mari itself. As you know, I deeply believe in the tremendous power of the Ripple Effect. It is one of the guiding principles of my own work and one of the main themes of the Absolute Advantage podcast. Lila’s story is an excellent example of why the Ripple Effect is such an incredible force and how it can enrich our organizations and our lives. I hope you enjoy my conversation with Lila and are inspired to allow the Ripple Effect to work its magic for you.
