We’re looking forward to introducing you to brian batch. Check out our conversation below.
brian, it’s always a pleasure to learn from you and your journey. Let’s start with a bit of a warmup: What are you most proud of building — that nobody sees?
I am really proud of seeing how the team at bird bird interacts with one another. I have seen many iterations of the business and so have a perspective on it that no one else likely has. It’s a true joy to see people caring for one another and also working on being better people together 🙂
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
My name is Brian Batch and I am one of the co owners of bird bird biscuit 🙂 I am a violin player and a biscuit maker. I have 4 sons and an awesome wife that keeps our ship on course. We built bird bird on 4 values. People Not Objects, Consistent Quality Above All, This Is Fun For Us, and Blow Minds. These have been our guiding principles over the past 7 years and are a key to what makes Bird bird tick. Our team has bought into them and so they live in our organization. We hope we can just keep getting a little better and living these each day and we will let this take us where it takes us!
Amazing, so let’s take a moment to go back in time. Who taught you the most about work?
My dad taught me a great deal. He taught me me what it looks like to work hard. Ive realized how valuable that is. To know what it looks like to work hard. To strive. To not just accept a challenge, but to create your own challenge within and without that gives something to be motivated by. My guru taught me the most about work and life. From him I learned how to concentrate and how to place spiritual principles at the core of my material endeavors. Bird Bird is a product of these two things working in a lovely harmony 🙂
When did you stop hiding your pain and start using it as power?
My mom passed when I was 18. It was very tough on me and I held a lot of guilt around her final years for a long time after she passed. Then she came to me in a dream one night. It was so real. It was real. We talked for what seemed like 2 hours. She told me how much she loved me and all my siblings and that she was so proud of us. She was radiant. After that dream, I felt healed of a deep pain. Something that had made me feel unworthy of love and unworthy to love someone else. This was a big moment in my life because it was from that moment on that I let go of guilt.
I think our readers would appreciate hearing more about your values and what you think matters in life and career, etc. So our next question is along those lines. Is the public version of you the real you?
The true us can only be one.
Okay, we’ve made it essentially to the end. One last question before you go. If immortality were real, what would you build?
Immortality is real. We simply have to realize. So what would I build? Well, id say I would build what I am working on building. A bridge to unbroken awareness of God 🙂
