Trade As One

Ollie is the 2 year old golden lab that belongs to the George Family. He spends his days running around on the beach in Santa Cruz, playing with the George’s 3 boys, and eating whatever the Georges try to hide from him (recent examples: a bottle of Grandma George’s blood pressure pills, whole tubs of butter, half a pizza, a whole bunch of bananas). Rough life, huh? Ollie’s got it made.

So you might think that Ollie just takes and takes, but he has a very unique, very important role to play within Trade as One: protector of sanity. Things get pretty crazy around here as we try to build a company, keep our finances extremely streamlined so that our producers in the developing world reap the benefits of your purchases, prepare for the craziness of the Christmas season, and (oh, yeah) hang out with our families as well.

Ollie provides the sanity. His presence in the George house for team meetings, at some of our events, and often in the warehouse (don’t tell our landlord) for some of our regular workdays always brings just the right amount of joy and silliness. He is impossible to stress out (he IS from Santa Cruz after all), impossible to offend, and always in a good mood. He’s our favorite dog.
