Many people dream of leaving their dayjob to start a creative company. P-A Lesperance did exactly that, leaving decades of operations work behind to build House of Gog, a Montreal-based premium toy and collectable company that makes high-craftsmanship art statues from some of the world’s coolest artists.
An avid collector himself, P-A learned the ins and out of the figurine business running operations at Ubisoft. After leaving to start House of Gog with business partner Hugues Martel of PureArts, P-A has built a sustainable business with intricate, mind-blowing figurines by artists like Pascal Blanché and SKINNER.
In this conversation, P-A shares the importance of stoicism, the steps he took to build House of Gog, and the key skill every creative who is looking to start a business large or small should develop.
