True-ish story.
Jess swears this could actually happen because, unlike the Bible… this one makes logical fkn sense.
Jess — (that’s me, hi) — was also on smoko.
Not smoking…
Just being a boss and hiding from responsibilities while pretending everything was under control.
Alright, gather round.
This is the story of Leaf — the world’s first cartoon tradie who became a business owner purely by accident.
(Relatable.)
Leaf wasn’t always the rainbow-glowing icon you see today.
Nah.
He started off as your average backyard bush bloke —
chill, green, and minding his own photosynthesis.
No goals.
No business plan.
No clue.
Just vibing.
Leaf never planned to start a brand.
He was just doing what legends do —
standing around on smoko talking absolute rubbish with Jess.
You know the kind of conversations:
- “What if we just didn’t work today?”
- “What if money just… appeared?”
- “What if we started a brand?” (immediately ignored)
Nothing serious.
Just smoko thoughts.
Then it happened.
Leaf stepped backwards…
Slipped on a rainbow-coloured oil spill…
And absolutely stacked it.
Hard.
Next thing you know…
He’s covered head to toe in colour.
Like someone threw a Pride parade at him and said “good luck.”
Now, most people would panic.
Leaf?
Leaf was so unbelievably cooked that instead of worrying…
He picked up some bricks nearby…
…and started building a wall.
No one knows why.
There was:
- no plan
- no reason
- no permission
Just vibes and poor decision-making.
Halfway through building this completely unnecessary wall,
Leaf stood back… squinted at it…
…and went:
“You know what this needs?”
Pause.
“A logo.”
So there he is…
Covered in rainbow.
Slightly cross-eyed.
Drawing a logo on a wall that didn’t need to exist…
While Jess is standing there like:
“…what the fk are you doing?”**
And then it hit.
Not Leaf.
The idea.
Jess looked at the wall.
Looked at Leaf.
Looked back at the wall again.
And said the sentence that accidentally started everything:
“Honestly… I’d wear that. We could call it GreenandSEEN.”
Silence.
Then chaos.
First, Chronic wandered over…
Didn’t ask questions.
Didn’t need context.
Just looked at the wall and went:
“Yeah nah… this’ll sort itself out.”
…and stayed.
Then Ivy showed up.
Not because she was invited —
but because she heard chaos and thought:
“Someone here is about to make a bad decision.”
(She was correct.)
Then Nugsy appeared.
No one knows where he came from.
No one invited him.
But somehow:
- he’d already eaten the snacks
- taken the best spot
- and was acting like he founded the whole thing
Then Bud rocked up.
Young. Keen. Zero survival instincts.
Took one look at the situation and went:
“This seems like a great idea.”
(It was not.)
And finally…
Sativa.
She didn’t walk in — she arrived.
Energy level: illegal.
Within 30 seconds she had:
- 10 new ideas
- 3 worse ideas
- and somehow made everything louder
And just like that…
They all stayed.
What started as:
- a smoko break
- a rainbow oil spill
- and a wall that didn’t need to exist
…turned into something way bigger.
No business plan.
No strategy.
No clue what they were doing.
Just one very simple thought:
“What if we made something for people like us?”
Not the corporate types.
Not the polished influencer crowd.
But:
- the late-night meme senders
- the smoko philosophers
- the chaotic thinkers
- the slightly cooked legends
The ones who don’t take life too seriously…
…but still want to stand out.
And somehow…
That dumb idea stuck.
And behind it all…
There’s Jess.
The human responsible for turning a bunch of high thoughts
into an actual brand…
instead of just a group chat full of terrible ideas and voice notes no one listens to.
So no…
This story isn’t in the Bible.
There are:
- no burning bushes
- no plagues
- no seas being parted
Just a leaf, a bad decision, and a sentence that changed everything:
“Yeah alright… let’s see what happens.”
And that’s how GreenandSEEN was born.
Not planned.
Not perfect.
Definitely not sober.
Just real.
And now you’re part of it.
Welcome to the crew.
Stay Green.
Stay Seen. 🌿
