Welcome to Season 2 of the Busi-Ness Podcast.In this week, I chat to Alex Loizou from Trouva, an online store that brings you beautiful homewares from the best independents around the world, making it easy for you to discover just the right piece for your home. I absolutely loved chatting to Alex in this open and thoughtful episode. We talked about navigating the relationship between three co-founders, how Alex didn't start as CEO but took the role just 3 months shy of a global pandemic, and why he thinks fundraising is not to be celebrated, but is an essential part of business growth. We chatted about how much pressure founders are willing to take on and how Trouva is helping independent shop owners grow globally.Alex encouraged me to obsess on understanding what is real value in your business, and to hone in on that, with laser focus. Alex is brilliant, and I hope you enjoy listening to his story. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week we're talking about interviewing and the hiring process.We'll be talking to Mike Nagle about some common misconceptions about the purpose of conducting interviews, how to get the most out of candidates, and even how he structures his hiring process.Mike is currently the VP Design at Trouva and has been heading up design in companies such as Memrise and ITV for the last 8 years. He has looked at 1000s of CVs and portfolios and Built and managed teams from scratch. This all makes him an excellent person to speak to about the hiring process. We also have a new project to announce and we're excited for you to all get involved too!https://shapeofdesignbook.com

The Trouva mission statement is to “champion independents”.

Shop-owners can not only upload their inventory, make it available on the worldwide marketplace, and then rely on Trouva to take care of logistics and payment, but also create a profile about their values and in-store experience.
