Recently on a call he said: “Every time someone reaches out to you, ask yourself - is this actually going to grow your business right now?” When I started, I said yes to everything that sounded exciting. Meetings, events, calls. It felt like momentum. It was distraction. I thought I was building my business but I was actually just filling my calendar. Harry is exceptional at what he does because he’s RUTHLESS with his time. He knows exactly what (and who) moves the needle. He never wastes a move. Every hour is deliberate. The lesson: learn when to say no. Cut through the noise. Focus on what matters. Your time as a founder is your most valuable asset. The sooner you build that discipline, the faster you’ll grow.

At Cannes Lions this year, Culture3 sparked conversations that matter... about truth, humanity, authorship, creativity, and the role brands must play in shaping culture, not chasing it. At the Culture3 Villa, we hosted a programme designed to help brands show up with meaning, not just marketing. But some of the most powerful moments happened outside our own walls, on stages where others invited us in. Because they too believe that if you stand for something, people will stand with you. We leave Cannes with new partners, new friends, and even more conviction in our mission: to help brands stand out for truth and authenticity. That’s what cuts through. That’s what lasts. To everyone who made this week so special... thank you.

To the entire Culture3 team! thank you for your energy, hard work, and for creating a space that brought people together in such a meaningful way. A special shout-out to Neil Rankin and Will from symplicity foods , who were at our side all week preparing some of the most unbelievable food for our guests and to Maison Mirabeau l B Corp™ for keeping spirits high. This is just the start. #Culture3 #CannesLions2025 #StandForSomething #BrandCulture #CreativityWithPurpose #makeitmatter

𝗧𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝘄𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗰𝗿𝗼𝘄𝗱𝗳𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗶𝗴𝗻 that gives our community a chance to power FLOWN even further... talk about being people-powered! 💪 Over 9,000 focus hours happen on FLOWN every single week; members report an average uplift of 123% in productivity when they work on FLOWN; and we have a 4.8/5 Trustpilot rating. We are loved... now we want to grow, and we want to include our members. We’re getting ready to raise investment through Crowdcube – a crowdfunding platform that lets you invest as much (or as little) as you like. This is your chance to join us not just as a member, but as a shareholder. You’ll be the first to know when our private launch opens before it goes public. Shares will be limited, and this list gets priority access. 𝗗𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗶𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝘂𝗻𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂’𝗿𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗹𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘆 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗶𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁. 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵-𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗸 𝗶𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁. 💡𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗻𝗼𝘄?

The official launch of the NEW CO2 YOU! 🎉💙 This rebrand has been months in the making, and we couldn’t be prouder to finally share it with you. 😭🥹 A MASSIVE thank you to Boundless Brand Design and the incredible Hamish Shand and team. Your vision, creativity, and talent have brought CO2 YOU to life in ways we could have only dreamed of. Who knew gas could be this... sexy?!?! 🤯✨ We also want to give a huge shoutout to Ardy Danielewicz, who created our original branding back in the early days and helped us build the foundation that got us to this incredible moment. ↳ Founded in 2021 as a one-person startup. ↳ Today, reintroducing ourselves as a bold, challenger brand. 💪 ↳ Tomorrow, making sustainable sparkling water a household norm. ♻️💧 Why this rebrand is such a big deal: 1/ It’s a bold new chapter. We’ve grown, we’ve evolved, and now our brand reflects the ambition that’s driving us forward. This isn’t just a fresh coat of paint—it’s a declaration of where we’re headed. Sustainable and exciting hydration is the new norm. ♻️✨💧 2/ It’s proof that big ideas can grow. What started as a spark(le) in 2021 has become a movement. With 15,000+ subscribers, partnerships with brands like Sage Appliances (and more to come 👀), and a mission to reshape sustainability, this rebrand is a celebration of how far we’ve come—and how much further we’re going. 3/ It’s a reminder of why we started. For Marcus, our founder, this is personal. CO2 YOU has always been about more than just sparkling water—it’s about sustainability, simplicity, and impact. Seeing the brand evolve like this is nothing short of magic for him. Thank you to everyone who has joined us on this journey and believes in the mission! Lissie Archer Samuel Gray Emma Kelly, FCCA Jaap Derk Buma This is just the beginning. 🚀 The Refill Revolution is here. 💙♻️ 💻 To see the full rebrand in all its glory, head over to our brand-new website.

Today there's so much emphasis on mental health, and rightly so, but here’s the thing: The person in the supporting role often ends up struggling with mental health problem themselves. (A recent report revealed that 55% of those supporting others suffer from depression and 78% experience anxious thoughts.) Yet there are few resources out there aimed directly at loved ones. My debut book, "YOU'RE NOT ALONE IN THIS: Supporting a Loved One's Mental Health Without Losing Your Own" is going to change that - and it's now available for pre-orders globally! 🌍 Deeply personal, this book is born from both my own experiences and my clinical practice. It covers: 🧠 How to better understand and navigate common mental health issues 💬 What to say (and what not to say) 📝 How to craft a robust and holistic treatment plan ‼️How to recognise if you have burnout and are experiencing secondary trauma 👥 Unique ways to understand the relational field ❤️ How to set boundaries and prioritise your own wellbeing I want to ask you for a favour: if this topic speaks to you, would you be open to pre-ordering the book? I only recently learned myself how incredibly important preorders are. It determines how many copies booksellers order and how much visibility they give the book. So it massively impacts whether the book reaches those who need it most. I'd be forever grateful.

.Rob O'Donovan liked this.Rob O'Donovan liked thisI come from a long line of inspirational Native women and get to work with Native founders and investors who inspire me daily… It is a joy to build with my co-founder Danielle Forward and to work with our entrepreneurial advisors who have collectively built millions in revenue for their companies, created hundreds of jobs and raised venture - Amber Buker, J.D. of Totem Technologies, Inc., Bobbie Racette of Virtual Gurus, Cierra Gromoff of Kismet Health Inc, Jenn Harper of Cheekbone Beauty Cosmetics INC and Joey Montoya of Urban Native Era. As I am investing on my day to day now, it has been so thrilling to get to learn from the best Karla Brollier of Patagonia Home Planet Fund and Valerie Red-Horse Mohl of Known whom I have co-built Native Women Asset Managers (NWAM) with - we are hosting our first retreat in Carmel this week! I especially want to give gratitude to my aunties, Ina, Glendale, Dawn, Kim, Paula and most of all my mom Brenda of the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians for empowering me with the opportunities to give back. I wouldn’t be the founder, investor, daughter, mom, woman I am today without their love, wisdom and belief in me. #givingtuesday #nativeamericanheritagemonth #nativeentrepreneurs #nativeamerican #indigenous #indigenousbusiness #indigenousleadership Link in comments. Thank you to Rebekah Bastian at Forbes - and to our amazing advisor Sage Ke’alohilani Quiamno at Amazon who made the connection - for shining light on our stories and supporting our mission!

Onwards!.Rob O'Donovan liked this⚡️ We're excited to announce our fourth fund today, at $80M. This marks another milestone on our journey to building the go-to seed firm for product founders. We've been investing in Europe's early-stage software for over a decade, and we've seen the power of product companies to build outlier businesses firsthand. With this new fund, we'll be on the hunt for standout founders building defensible products that users love. A massive thanks to our existing and new LPs, the Connect team who put in a fantastic collective effort to raise this fund, and our portfolio founders and their teams - you're the reason we do what we do. A special mention to the founders who invested in the fund, thanks: Tony Jamous, Paul Veugen, Carlo Gualandri, David Okuniev, Robert Muñoz Rupérez, Hana Mohan, Luca Martinetti, Francesco Simoneschi, David Coallier, Toby Moore, Taavet Hinrikus, Misha Gopaul, Tariq Aris, Michele Attisani, Niccolo Maisto and Sheetal Dhanuka.
