Publisher Description

Get Big Fast and Do More Good is a guide to modern entrepreneurship and accelerated brand-building from the founders of Yes To Inc, the company behind the breakthrough natural beauty brand Yes to Carrots.

Ido Leffler and Lance Kalish, two 29-year-old Australians with very different backgrounds and skills, cofounded their company in 2006 with little more than a dream and made it big. Yes to Carrots has become one of the biggest natural beauty brands in the world and is one of the fastest-growing skincare brands. Leffler and Kalish have accomplished it all while maintaining solid principles, investing in meaningful business relation¬ships, giving back to the community, and still making it home in time for dinner.

The authors started their business with nothing but chutzpah and great instincts for products with potential. They’ve since made lots of great decisions and some really, really bad ones, and are ready to share their hard-won secret to success: a strong, resilient, trusting partnership coupled with a great sense of humor.

“Narrating this energizing business memoir-lesson, Nico Evers-Swindell sounds like he’s intentionally speaking slower than is natural for him. But his Australian voice is quite friendly, his phrasing near perfect, and his approach totally in sync with the fun in the authors’ story. Kalish and Leffler tell how they started a mega-successful natural beauty brand—Yes To Carrots—by staying loose, making all of their relationships highly personal, and staying true to their altruistic, community-oriented principles. Their descriptions of how they approach strategy and sales are enormously entertaining—a well-written and authentic reflection of their high-chutzpah family backgrounds, playful acceptance of life’s risks, and nimble instincts. The narrator’s winning attitude fits well with the material and helps make this a memorable listening experience.”

Quotes

  • “For the freshly minted entrepreneur, [the] authors of this irreverent book—successful self-starters Leffler and Kalish—are brutally honest about the goofs and gaffes they made on the way up. Since more than ninety percent of startups fail in their first three years, it might be more useful to know what not to do when you start a business.”

  • “For the freshly minted entrepreneur, [the] authors of this irreverent book—successful self-starters Leffler and Kalish—are brutally honest about the goofs and gaffes they made on the way up. Since more than 90% of startups fail in their first three years, it might be more useful to know what not to do when you start a business.

  • When Walgreens was founded, over 100 years ago in a one thousand square foot pharmacy, no one expected we would become a brand recognized around the world. And, that’s a point that is captured so well in this insightful and masterfully written book. The “Yes To” products we carry in our stores reflect what we mean by “Doing Good while Doing Good Business.” Ido Leffler and Lance Kalish have certainly set a high bar, and this book is a prime example of what hard work, vision, and a “yes” attitude can do for you and your company.

    — Gregory D. Wasson, President and CEO, Walgreens Co.
  • Two crazy (and whip-smart) guys got you (and me!) to put carrots and tomatoes on our face. Their product works, their company works, their charity works and they’ve worked their way into our stores and homes- Yes To reading this book and learning from their story!
