Swyft: turning setbacks into scale with Keiran Hewkin, CEO & Co-Founder

Episode 16: In conversation with Keiran Hewkin, Co-Founder of Swyft Home

The concept of a sofa in a box is so simple it’s genius – but the real genius lies in how you grow such a business from the ground up.

Keiran Hewkin is the CEO & Co-Founder of Swyft Home, a leader whose success is built upon the ability to embrace failure, break things, and bring a laser-focused vision to life.

Join us to explore how Keiran built a brand through bootstrapping, boldness, and brutal simplicity.

Getting told ‘No’ a thousand times made me think – it’s not a bad idea, but if people are saying no, then I’m going to have to do this myself.

  • Kieran’s journey as proof that curiosity and grit can transform an industry.
  • Simplicity as strategy is a powerful model.
  • Failure can be a learning tool, and a company’s culture can reframe failures as opportunities for growth.

To tune in, head here:

“If you can’t learn from your failures, then it’s going to take you a very long time to be successful, because you will have far more of them than you do successes.”
