Dave Bolotsky (@UncommonGoods) is the founder and CEO of Uncommon Goods, a pioneering online marketplace known for its handcrafted, ethically made products and its people-first business model. A former Goldman Sachs retail analyst who traded spreadsheets for storytelling, Dave built Uncommon Goods from his New York apartment into one of the most values-driven eCommerce companies in America.
In this conversation with Gary Rabine, Dave shares the lessons he learned from icons like Sam Walton and Bernie Marcus, how he survived the dot-com crash, and why he believes business can — and must — be both profitable and purposeful.
In this episode, Gary and Dave discuss:
- Building a business from the ground up with grit, values, and zero outside funding
- How to lead through crisis — and why firing people taught him his most powerful leadership lesson
- The culture of ownership: why Dave meets every new hire and gives employees a stake in success
- Competing with Amazon through creativity, relationships, and exclusivity
- The enduring impact of purpose-driven leadership and “shared prosperity”
