Build an iconic shopping experience that your customers love - and a work environment that your employees love being a part of - using this blueprint from Trader Joe’s visionary founder, Joe Coulombe.

Infuse your organization with a distinct personality and culture that draws customers in a way that simply competing on price cannot.

Joe Coulombe founded what would become Trader Joe’s in the late 1960s and helped shape it into the beloved, quirky food chain it is today. Realizing early on that he could not compete and win by playing the same game his bigger competitors were playing, he decided to build a store for educated people of somewhat modest means. He brought in unusual products from around the world and promoted them in the Fearless Flyer, providing customers with background on how they were sourced and their nutritional value. He also gave the stores a tiki theme to reinforce the exotic trader ship concept with employees wearing Hawaiian shirts.  

In this way, Joe laid down a blueprint for other business owners to follow to build their own unique shopping experience that customers love and a work environment that employees love being a part of. 

In Becoming Trader Joe, Joe shares the lessons he learned by challenging the status quo and rethinking the way a business operates. He shows people of all types:

How moving from a pure analytical approach to a more creative, problem-solving approach can drive innovation.
How finding an affluent niche of passionate customers can be a better strategy than competing on price and volume.
How questioning all aspects of the way you do business leads to powerful results.
How to build a business around your values and identity.

At points we have the pleasure to bring back some of the artists that’s been with us almost right from the start of our PHW project and this week we see the return of Scott Pugh aka Voxy P who once again returns to us with another fine selection of music. He’s always been a producer following his heart when making music and going his own way and we can’t say less this time as he is delivering in full flare again with his forward thinking style. This time he’s connected with US producer and vocalist Brian Hazard, more know through his music with Color Theory moniker. 

Together they bring on a great variety and two totally different styled tracks. First out is the wonderful “Promise To Me”, a track that has a full on progressive feel with smooth layers of melodic arrangements and uplifting vocals to set the pace. It’s a wonderful journey from start to finish where they both showcase their superb touch. 

To broaden the release, we see another original take a spot, going in a very different direction. We of course welcome them with open arms as we see them showcase their production named as “Use Our Hearts”. With a wonderful laid back feel, built on vocals, warm layering of sounds that goes so well together, we definitely feel the guys strikes at their very best. 

We are truly happy to see Scott return and Brian make his debut with us and we really hope you all will enjoy these two rocking beauties!
