What does success look like to you?

Today, we’re chatting with Issac Childs, founder of Rustico, one of the most beloved brands who closed their doors after a very successful run of 22 years.

Rustico was known for its bespoke, artisan craftsmanship in leather journals and other products. There was a tremendous amount of respect in our industry for this maker and for what Isaac and his team built.

We talk with Isaac about his journey and specifically about a topic that is so easily misconstrued: What does success look like to you? We explore this, plus:

  • How work, aligned correctly can become play.

  • How that definition changed for him through the years

  • How endings become a superpower

  • And how we can perhaps, instead, learn to live, as Issac says: inspired lives.
