What Everybody Ought to Know About Failure with Nic Harry

Guest Author

9 out of 10 of Nic’s previous businesses were failures. And that’s something which he attributes to his current success.

In this episode, we spoke to Nic Haralambous, who admits to having a sock fetish. Nic is the founder of the luxury men’s brand, Nic Harry, and started his business by selling socks that he had to Photoshop into pairs. His first stock cost only $300, which he quickly converted to almost $5000 in sales.

We also dive into how he started selling socks to get out of a depressive funk, what he’s learn about being an entrepreneur and running physical retail stores is much easier than Ecommerce.
