On The Sofa With.... Andrew Dobbie
Before they get into Boston, Danny asks Andrew to pick his sofa, and it's an easy choice. The Plaza, obviously. It's the kind of sofa that sets the tone for the whole conversation: relaxed, a bit daft, proper Scottish.
From there, Danny (our Head of Inspiration) and MadeBrave CEO Andrew Dobbie talk through the story behind #BostonCone: how a Glasgow traffic cone ended up on the other side of the Atlantic, why they used it to start conversations about mental health, and how a trip that began as a daft idea turned into hundreds of chats, a pile of money raised for SAMH and MAMH, and a city-wide proclamation making 14th July officially Boston Cone Day.
They talk about the people they met along the way, why humour is such a good way into a hard conversation, and how a cone became an unlikely ambassador for the city. It's a good one, grab a seat.
