Episode 111 – Cory Richardson and Hanging Hugs

Building Community One Hanging Hug at a Time

Introducing Cory Richardson of Hanging Hugs

Cory Richardson is an individual who has spent his life spreading love and community. Whether teaching hula hooping to children, or taking the time to help the people of Uganda, Cory has a knack for teaching and helping. His company, Hanging Hugs, can be seen as an expression of the man himself by providing comfortable and relaxing luxury hammocks where you feel like you have just received a long, warm hug.

Cory is back at his community building again and this time he is looking for Hanging Hugs to help him develop a farm cooperative and hostel where people could come to feel in touch with nature and themselves. By buying a Hanging Hug, you will be provided with a voucher for the ability to stay at the farm so that, “your vacation is in the bag.”

To see how a product and create a feeling, and how it can then create a community, check out this episode of The Boiling Point.
