Driving\u00a0the subscription box economy<\/h1>\n

Jameson is no stranger to the subscription economy. From starting Conscious Box with a group of friends at the time when the subscription box wasn’t\u00a0really a “thing”, to the present day where he’s focused on growing the success that is Yogi Surprise, a box for yoga lovers.<\/p>\n

There are plenty of problems to tackle when it comes to shipping a physical subscription product. While some of them are shared with any other software-based subscription, plenty are unique to a business which sends out thousands of filled cardboard boxes each month. For example, you should get ready to think more about the unboxing experience rather than\u00a0onboarding<\/em> experience.<\/p>\n

One of the biggest misconceptions is that this kind of business is an easy thing to start.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

From my chat with Jameson, I wanted to understand how he’s grown a scalable model for such lifestyle businesses. And while the answer is that there’s inevitably a huge amount of good old hard work involved, it does seem that the eventual result is a solid source of income which doesn’t require 80 hours of your sweat per week.<\/p>\n

Jameson publishes some great stuff on the nuances\u00a0of building such a business, so make sure you check out his blog<\/a> if this episode piques your interest. Here’s the full conversation below.<\/p>\n
