Welcome (Back) to My World

Hey,

Aaron here–co-founder of HUSH Blankets, a big believer in mental wellness, and your new friend in the founder’s journey.

First things first: thank you. You could be doing anything right now, and instead, you’ve chosen to read an email from a guy who started out by stitching up weighted blankets in a scrappy warehouse. I don’t take that for granted.

HUSH started because I noticed how many of us struggle with stress and anxiety–my friends, my family, and even me at times. I saw how impactful a quality weighted blanket could be, so I decided to create a product that wasn’t just “good enough,” but truly life-changing. We bootstrapped our way onto Dragons’ Den, crowdfunded a bunch of prototypes, and poured more hours into R&D than I’d ever spent studying in school.

What you’ll get from me here isn’t just business talk. 

Sure, I’ll share how we scaled HUSH into a seven-figure brand in just over a year, but I’ll also open up about the nights I couldn’t sleep (ironically enough), the supply chain meltdowns that nearly crushed us, and the mindset that kept me sane.

Let’s kick this thing off. We have a lot of ground to cover–especially if you’re itching to build or grow something of your own. Or maybe you’re just curious to see what it takes to launch a D2C brand from the ground up. Either way, I’m pumped you’re here.

Stay tuned, 

Great things ahead.

Talk soon,

Aaron
