#19 Christian Laing: Stand Out Socks - Building a Movement, Not Just a Business
In this inspiring episode, Christian from Stand Out Socks shares how he transformed a simple product into a powerful movement. Driven by a mission to provide employment opportunities for individuals with Down’s syndrome, Stand Out Socks is about more than fashion – it’s about empowerment, inclusion, and challenging perceptions. Join us as Christian talks about their journey from the early days to Dragon’s Den, their goal to become the largest employer of individuals with learning disabilities, and the passion behind every pair of socks.
