If five years ago, you were to tell Shane Vitaly Foran and Jason Readman they’d be pitching their blooming accessories business to a group of wealthy investors, they would have thought you were out to lunch.
If five years ago, you were to tell Shane Vitaly Foran and Jason Readman they’d be pitching their blooming accessories business to a group of wealthy investors, they would have thought you were out to lunch.
That was before Foran left the country on a soul-searching journey and while Readman was flying helicopters in Northern Ontario. Today the two young men, who met while snowboarding ten years ago, are working day and night to run their thriving business, Vitaly Design.
Foran had an idea that working for someone was not in his future, “I always knew I’d run my own business – I was never good at having a boss.” Perhaps it was this mentality that drove him to strap on a backpack after graduating university and escape into the depths of Southeast Asia. Luckily for him, what he calls a “cliché, finding yourself type of thing” ended up being just that.
It started with a ring design Foran had in mind. On his travels in Ubud, Indonesia, he approached an artisan to craft a ring out of wood. When he saw the artisan was able to meet the request, he reached out to friends back in Canada to see if anyone else was interested.
