From creating prototypes for NASA to facilitating workshops that provide top brands with innovative ideas, Sarah St. Jules and Shelby Walsh from Trend Hunter are always ready to take a leap of faith.
“Even if something seems outside of your comfort zone, that’s actually where the best ideas come from.”
St. Jules is the head of Trend Hunters’ annual Future Festival, and Walsh is the president and head of research at Trend Hunter. Together, they run the popular Toronto-based Future Festival, a high-ranking innovation conference that’s been dubbed the best business event by notable brands like Red Bull, Samsung, Netflix, and Starbucks.
In this week’s #StartupPodcast, host Rivers Corbett talks to St. Jules and Walsh about Trend Hunters’ prized conference and what it takes to partner with A-list brands.
