In this episode of Add To Cart, we checkout Sam Schumann the founder and director of outdoor adventure company Alton. An ex -tax and consulting professional, Sam developed the Alton brand in 2015 and now has over 50 SKU’s, a warehouse that’s bursting at the seams, distribution in Paddy Palin’s and the most god damn beautiful Instagram page you have ever seen. Make sure you check it out. It’s almost like meditation.
Can you recommend a book or a podcast that our listeners should immediately get into?
