“WE ARE. WE
ARE. WE ARE.” Screamed Director of
Retail, Alex in his meanest drill sergeant voice (he actually is an Army
Reserve Drill Sergeant one weekend a month in answer to the question: “What is
LoveSac?”…”We are!” 
IT IS ALL ABOUT OUR PEOPLE. There is no doubt in anyone’s mind here at LoveSac HQ that
our people are by far our most valuable asset. Like it or not, our products are weird, require demonstration
and explanation, and with all the video, photos, POP displays, etc, there is
just NO SUBSTITUTE FOR AWESOME PEOPLE.
Our most awesomest people are all here for 3 days only, at LoveSac world
headquarters in Stamford Connecticut.
19 of the best Sac’rs in the world have been flown, driven,
and trained up to New York City then on to our offices just up the road in
Stamford….a banking town. LoveSac
is most certainly the weirdest business in this town. No suits here.
Surrounded by high-rises filled with tie-wearing finance geeks, we’ve
borrowed the empty space beneath our tiny office where we can all gather around
one long conference table with the purpose of elevating our collective
LoveSac-abilities. 
The day begins early, at the Stamford Inn. Who knows what goes on after hours with
19 Sac’rs locked up under one roof – I don’t wanna know. But we woke everyone up playing “HI-LO”
where everyone lines up from high to low according to the category called.
We all crammed into our cars (the LoveSac Bus is, um, busy
right now), rolled over to the office where the day of fun began. It’s “wear your favorite T-shirt day
for this first long day of training.
Powerpoint presentations….YEAH.
Vision training, mission training, financial training, inventory
training, supply-chain training, book-club knowledge sharing, etc, etc, etc.
For lunch we had some wicked-good carnitas tacos from our
favorite neighborhood taco joint….and get crackin’ on the staff-wide Guitar
Hero single elimination tournament in the infamous "Rockstar Room" at LoveSac HQ. 
Katie, Casey, Mims, Dave, Brian, James, and Torin advance to the next
round of Guitar Hero glory…Tashia, Andy, Eddie, Libby, Svi, Hellen, Amy and
JesAnne were ELIMINATED. 
I’m not
saying they sucked….but it WAS entertaining. Overall, I’d have to say that those from the field are
better than those from HQ…even though WE’RE the one with the RockStar Room
right here in the office. (Shows
you how much it gets played). It’s
all a show. LoveSac isn’t really
fun…..but we like to pretend we are.
(ok, its kinda fun).
Now back upstairs for dinner in the office, then right back
downstairs for more presentations after dinner….goin’ till 11 pm tonight. LoveSac is…...FUN!
Hey, who's that hottie rockin' with the baby in tow?
