This episode is all about Gymshark—one of the fastest-growing athleisure brands on the planet. Kicking off with breaking industry news and trends, Nathan and Aaron lay the groundwork for an exploration of what makes Gymshark a standout story: a college student, Ben Francis, who turned a passion for lifting and coding into a multi-billion dollar global powerhouse.

We unpack Gymshark’s humble beginnings, its explosive early growth, and how a clever pivot from dropshipping supplements to creating apparel changed everything. You’ll hear about Ben’s bold decision to step back as CEO—a move rarely seen in fast-growing startups—and what that meant for the company’s trajectory. The episode also covers the nuts and bolts of Gymshark’s supply chain, the role of influencer-driven marketing, navigating international expansion (including a $200 million market entry in the US before even having a local staff!), and what the future might hold as IPO rumors swirl.
