 What does it take to build something meaningful when the winds of change won’t stop blowing?This week’s guest, Simon Erlanger, has done it, not with slogans, but with stillness.Simon is the Managing Director of Isle of Harris Distillers, a purpose-driven spirits business on the edge of Scotland. Under his guidance, Harris Gin and now the Hearach Whisky have grown into more than drinks. They’re cultural icons, symbols of resilience, belonging, and regeneration.This conversation was recorded before the recent restructuring announcement, a result of current industry and economic challenges. It’s clear they remain steadfast in ensuring the distillery’s founding vision succeeds. It has also been heart-warming to see the love from their supporters - that speaks volumes.From Spirit to SoulIn this inspiring conversation, we explore:* How a whisky distillery became a force for community regeneration on the Isle of Harris.* Why values like patience, adaptability, and integrity aren’t soft skills, but core business strategies.* The unexpected power of stillness in leadership.* How the Harris culture of “belonging and resilience” is woven into every bottle and every decision.“We created the distillery to be for, with, and from Harris. We don’t just make spirits. We nurture belonging.” – Simon ErlangerPersonal ThreadsThis episode also carries personal meaning. Erica’s family roots are in Harris, and it was over a shared glass of Harris Gin at Christmas that the idea for eteaket’s Isle of Harris Gin Tea was born - with Simon’s full support.Tea Mind TakeawaySimon shares his own tea routine: a daily 3-minute tea break in the garden with a pot of eteaket tea. He also shares a mindfulness practice you can try while your tea brews:“Place your feet on the ground. Recall a proud moment. Anchor into it. Let that be your reset.”This small act of grounding, practiced daily, becomes a quiet strength. Like a willow, it bends but does not break.What You’ll Learn* Why slow brands win in fast markets.* The art of leading from values (and the courage it takes).* How to build emotional resonance into your work.* What “life takes time” really looks like inside an inspiring business.Why This Matters Now* Because the mission is the same, even during challenging times.* Because resilience doesn’t mean avoiding hardship.* Because you can build from love, even in loss.* And because sometimes the hardest season is where your values prove themselves.Episode Highlights* (02:00) Simon’s 40-year journey in the whisky world - from Johnny Walker to Glenmorangie to Harris.* (06:30) The romantic yet radical idea behind founding Isle of Harris Distillers.* (08:45) What makes the people of Harris unique and why that matters for business.* (13:00) How storytelling replaced marketing at Harris.* (24:00) Simon’s personal Tea Mind tea routine - and how it boosts clarity.* (40:00) Training the next generation of islanders: apprenticeships that change lives.* (48:00) The value of transparency, even when navigating difficult decisions.Episode Tea Routine: “Grounding Like a Willow”While your tea brews, try this:* Place both feet on the ground.* Close your eyes and recall one moment you're proud of.* Breathe deeply. Let your body feel that memory.* Visualise yourself like a willow tree: rooted, but flexible.A beautiful way to reset your energy before the next part of your day.Resources:Simon’s Links:Website: https://harrisdistillery.com/Instagram: @simonerlanger and @isleofharrisdistillersLinkedIn: Simon ErlangerWays to connect with me 💬DM me, jump in the subscriber chat, or connect via my website, LinkedIn or Instagram 😁 I offer tea supply, tea training, tea for wellbeing courses and mindset coaching.
