ADHD, Instinct & Entrepreneurship | Stuart Trevor on Building Brands
Founders Code

What really makes a great founder?
In this episode of Founders Code, we sit down with Stuart Trevor, founder of Stuart Trevor and previously a key figure behind fashion brands including AllSaints and Reiss, alongside the founder of Unrest Orr Vinegold, who are focused on finding and supporting the next generation of purposeful, highly profitable entrepreneurs.
Stuart's latest venture turns the traditional fashion model on its head: a clothing brand that doesn't produce any new clothing. Instead, existing vintage and deadstock garments are transformed, customised and given a new life.
We explore the thinking behind that model, but also go much deeper into what it actually takes to build a successful business.
From ADHD and creativity to trusting your gut, making fast decisions and finding people who complement your weaknesses, this conversation offers a fascinating insight into how experienced entrepreneurs think.
We discuss:
• How ADHD can become an entrepreneurial superpower
• Why instinct can sometimes outperform data
• The importance of honesty, integrity and authenticity
• How to recognise resilience in a founder
• Why failure may simply be a success you haven't understood yet
• How to build a team around your weaknesses
• What investors should really look for in founders
• Why Stuart once walked away from more than £50 million because the people didn't feel right
• The importance of finding something you genuinely love doing
• Sustainability, fashion and turning other people's waste into something desirable
It's an honest and energetic conversation about entrepreneurship, resilience, instinct, purpose and what separates extraordinary founders from everyone else.
