A Mile in Her Moccasins

TACOINCIDENCE TACO STOP #8

I met up with Susan Petersen at Blue Poblano on Taco Tuesday in Orem, UT. Susan built Freshly Picked — a highly-coveted leather baby moccasin empire by making milestone moments for parents and babies not only stylish but truly memorable! I wanted to learn why she believes in the power of brand experience, what she does to create it and how it’s helped her thrive. All…over tacos. It really doesn’t get much better than this!

ABOUT TACOINCIDENCE

This is Tacoincidence — where we learn in this unconventional master class the secrets of breakthrough culture, brand experience, and human connection from the most brilliant leaders while we’re on the search for the perfect taco.

Tacoincidence is about discovering how visionary leaders build successful organizations with human experience at the core of their brand’s DNA. Whether it’s with granola bars, electric bikes, software, or socks. I wanted to learn why these leaders believe in the power of relationship-based brand experience, what they do to create it, and how it’s helped them thrive. All…over tacos.
