💪 BEN FRANCIS 🦈 We had the great pleasure of sitting down with Ben Francis, founder and CEO of Gymshark. Ben founded Gymshark when he was 19, while still a student at Aston University. In addition to his full-time commitment to his studies, Ben juggled working as a pizza delivery man to fund his Gymshark venture. In August 2020, Gymshark became the first DTC brand in the UK to achieve Unicorn status (valuation over $1 billion 🤑) with no external capital funding. Ben recently announced he is returning to the company's helm as CEO as the brand looks to expand in the US and Asia. This is a special episode with a man generous with his time and advice.
