Why do people need to lose somebody or something important to change?   17:00 - Why and how did Jen decide to start Away? Did she want to create something that big?   23:00 - How do you prepare yourself to get ready for such significant growth?   25:00 - How did Jen set up her goals?   27:00 - The Brand and The storytelling: how does content fit into Away's strategy?   31:00 - What was the aha moment that made Jen realize she needed to create more than a luggage brand?   34:00 - What other brands inspire them?

She believes everyone in a company should be innovative, rather than having a specific innovation role. Jen emphasizes humility and being open to asking for help as keys to success. Away's goal is to create a travel brand and community, not just make luggage. It's essential to genuinely care about sustainability and make it part of a company's DNA. Being iterative is one of Away's core values.
