James has a passion for circularity, and education's role in our communities drives his vision of reducing the fashion industry’s negative impact on the planet. This vision motivated him to launch thredUP, an online consignment & thrift store where you can constantly refresh your style while creating less waste.  His business able to process and recirculate clothing at an extraordinary speed and scale, all in support of sustainable fashion, freer closets, and a better world.

Episode 2 of The Eric Ries Show drops today! My guest is James Reinhart, founder of the second-hand resale platform ThredUp. James started out as a teacher, an experience that made him sure he wanted to make a positive impact on the world just as much as he wanted to build a successful business. ThredUp checks both boxes. It's changing the way people think about filling (and emptying) their closets -- its mission is "to inspire the world to think secondhand first" -- and it also generated $80 million in revenue in the first quarter of this year. In our conversation, we covered this duality from a number of perspectives, including the company culture that makes it possible, the importance of choosing the right investors, why an ambitious mission brings many advantages, what it was like to go public, and why more people should be thinking about purpose and profit as complementary rather than at odds with each other. As James put it, "intrinsically good businesses are good for bottom lines and good for the world."

NEW POD ALERT! And, as usual, we get the best guests. ThredUp CEO & co-founder James Reinhart joins us to unpack the fast-growing retail resale market in one of my favorite interviews of Season 8. But that's not all. Michael LeBlanc and I dissect the week in #retailnews featuring SHEIN, hims & hers,Target, Macy's, and The TJX Companies, Inc. All of this brought to you by our friends at Celonis. https://lnkd.in/gXQUXGZr

If the deal seems too good to be true, it likely is. That was the subtext of Saturday Night Live’s bogus ad for “Xiemu,” the latest fast fashion hitmaker from China. Parodying the meteoric rise of e-commerce phenoms SHEIN and Temu models pranced across the screen in $10 dresses and $5 shoes as a voiceover proclaimed, “How so cheap? Don’t worry about it!”

Much like the circular fashion industry – led by companies like ThredUp – we take a full-circle approach to creating our products. Not only do we incorporate recycled materials into our TimberTech products, but they're recyclable at the end of their useful lives too. Learn more about our process: https://bit.ly/4axKt2M

Happy #MembershipMonday! Meet #WIRLC member, Cora Buel 👋 Cora Buel is the Chief Revenue Officer of ThredUp. In this member spotlight, we asked Buel a series of questions about both her professional role and personal life, like: 🟣 𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕’𝒔 𝒂 𝒕𝒊𝒑 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒅𝒖𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒗𝒆𝒍𝒚 𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒅𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒂 𝒓𝒆𝒎𝒐𝒕𝒆 𝒐𝒓 𝒉𝒚𝒃𝒓𝒊𝒅 𝒕𝒆𝒂𝒎? 🔵 "Building trust is key. People work for people, not companies. Bringing people together in person and finding ways to organically connect and inspire the team to rely on each other even when not in person is helpful with building community and productivity. Then, setting expectations and holding your team accountable to responsibilities and outputs. Getting the job done is expected; where and how you do it can flex as long as business performance isn’t compromised."
