Today, I’m excited to be talking to Emily Heyward, co-founder of white-hot, Brooklyn-based branding phenomenon, Red Antler. While attending Harvard, Emily took a deep dive into the study of pop culture, ethical philosophy, and what drives people at the core. After college, she entered the advertising world where her career began to take off. After realizing she loved being in control, Emily decided to enter the world of entrepreneurship, co-founding the groundbreaking branding agency, Red Antler, which quickly exploded into one of the hottest shops, with a unique business-model. They serve early-stage ventures, often becoming involved on a level that goes way beyond traditional brand-building. Or in their words, they "build brands for startups that are changing how the world works." I invited Emily to the Good Life Project to explore her life and her influences. She shares her thoughts about creating something of your own, as well as helping other visionaries build something that becomes a global brand and makes a huge impact on the world.

  • So imagine stepping out of your day to day life and just dropping yourself into a gorgeous 130 acre natural playground for three and a half days of learning and laughing and moving your body and calming your brain and just reconnecting with people who see the world the same way that you do and just accept you as you are.

  • So that's what we've actually created with our camp GLP experience.

  • We've brought together this line of inspiring teachers from art to entrepreneurship and writing to meditation, pretty much everything in between.

  • And it's this beautiful way to fill your noggin with ideas to live and work better and to fill your heart.

  • And with this rare opportunity to create, you know, the type of friendships and stories you thought you pretty much left behind decades ago.

  • And it's all happening at the end of August, just 90 minutes from New York City.

  • And more than half actually, well, more than half the spots are already gone at this point.

  • So be sure to grab your spot quickly because our final hundred dollar early bird discount ends June 15, 2016.

  • After that, it goes up to full price.

  • So you can learn more@goodlifeproject.com camp or just click the link in the show notes now.

  • For us, early on, the most important thing by far was building our reputation.

  • So we were considering that probably more heavily than paying our rent.

  • You know, my business partner and I joke that some of those initial projects, like we paid them to do the work.

  • Today's guest, Emily Hayward, was a self described rebel as a kid, and she always performed really well and landed in Harvard where she took a major deep dive into human psychology and why we do what we do and then vaulted herself into the advertising world where she quickly gained a lot of traction and after about six years, realized that she kind of had to be in control.

  • So she started her own branding agency with a friend called Red Antler, which has exploded into this one of the hottest shops probably in the world.

  • And what's really fascinating, too, is that they focus specifically on serving early stage and startup companies and very often with a really powerful, mission driven orientation.

  • So it was a lot of fun sitting down with her to explore her life, her influences, her lens on building something and then helping other people build something that hopefully becomes a global brand and makes a really big difference.

  • I hope you enjoyed this conversation.

  • I'm Jonathan Fields and this is good life project.

  • So you came onto my radar.
