Insights from Scrub Daddy
What we can learn from an EXTRAordinary sponge
There’s a science behind why Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates still do the dishes, these billionaires understand the happiness and creativity-boosting power of everyday chores. The Creator of the Scrub Daddy tapped into that thinking with his family of cleaning sponges.
The owner of Komfort-Zone is affectionately known as the Soap Queen and the Gadget Girl. Yvonne is the one who introduced me to the Scrub Daddy, her boss had her order a few for the office after hearing about the founder on Shark Tank.
I reached out to Keitha to get her position on the Scrub Daddy here’s what she had to say: “The scrub daddy lasts a lot longer than a regular sponge. Even under the best of circumstances when people diligently squeeze out a sponge (not what happens in our shared work environment), it retains bacteria and gets smelly. A scrub daddy stays fresher longer.”
After watching the Shark Tank clip and using the product I started to see myself as the human version of that product. For starters I absorb information and share it with others, I think people become toxic for a variety of reasons they take in information from past hurts and never deal with the trauma, as a result, those internal toxins spill over into interpersonal relationships at home and work. I noticed a change in my relationships and peace of mind when I started releasing past hurt, forgiving, running, reading, and writing.
My fascination with sponges comes on the heels of being asked what my superpower was, I was torn between a sponge and a chameleon. The Scrub Daddy encapsulates the attributes of both.
