It has become a tradition at skucamp to chat with commonsku founders Mark and Catherine Graham at the end of the event to wrap up the week’s learning and discuss highlights from the event.
But this time, we turned the questions on Mark and Catherine. We chat with the duo about what they’ve learned from their experience running two successful businesses in this industry, distributorship RIGHTSLEEVE (sold to Genumark, shortly after skucamp in 2019) and commonsku. In the discussion, we talk about the biggest lessons they’ve learned navigating a fast-growth company; what to do when you feel you’re up against the ropes; the most important skillset and attitude that successful people in this business share in common, and much more!
Catherine Graham is co-founder and CEO of commonsku and the former President of distributorship RIGHTSLEEVE. Mark Graham is co-founder, President, and Chief Branding Officer of commonsku and the former founder of RIGHTSLEEVE. RIGHTSLEEVE received numerous industry accolades under their leadership, including ASI Distributor Entrepreneur of the Year, PPAI Web Award, Counselor’s Best Places to Work, and in 2009, awarded the Dell Small Business Excellence Award for its technological innovation, the foundation of which became commonsku in 2011.
