    Very inspiring. Coming from someone who also has autism, hearing you’re also autistic from the true G podcast..and building a huge brand, is super inspiring as someone who’s trying to built their own empire. 😃

    Love seeing a few guys just chat about life and talk shop. Greta job in displaying how you’ve grown as an individual and finding what your strengths were. I think most folks try and wear so many hats when they should have brought on help many years prior. Keep up the great work everyone at Gymshark!

  • @wavyavy

    As a small business owner - this was super cool and interesting! I see why he wouldn’t want to sell his brand, the real joy comes from seeing the impact of your product/s do for society. I get a euphoric feeling everyday planning and watching my brand grow everyday, and I’m on a much much smaller scale than Ben - so imagine he has the same feeling times a 1000 😂 Thanks for sharing! Go gymshark 🙌🏽

He is absolutely inspiring! Noel did an excellent job guiding the conversation. I look forward to more and more of these podcast style videos talking about what goes on behind the scenes in the business. I hope all Gymshark consumers watch this video and understand Ben's vision for the brand and all he does for it.

    There’s a lot of positive things to take from this for all of us whom have had ‘difficult’ business partners, difficult to the point they’ve sabotaged the business simply because it’s not ‘all’ about them, as things moved on they became less relevant and rather than move aside or collaborate they hit the destruction button.
    Great company, fantastic people 😁👍

    I'm early stages with my drinks brand and love the chat around not focusing on raising money, but profit cycling to grow. Could you do a conversation focused on this?
    Personally, I'm determined to bootstrap, but so many areas for improvement in my business and I could do with additional help with, but can't afford to bring people in or outsource. Would be great to hear how you guys bridged this gap early on!

    Ben, I really appreciate the honest conversations you are putting out more and more. It helps us who are grinding away with dreams to have our brands catch.
    I am 7 months in on Never Alone. my mental health initiative that I started after a bout of depression when my father died from cancer. I saw the mental health system in general did not help the vast majority of people. I am creating Never Alone to be a part of that change.
    I want mental health help to fall in line with physical health help... make it a daily conversation. Make it cool in areas, wear it proudly on your body with stylish clothes, bring it mainstream with social media.
    thank you for inspiring me

    I really got a lot from this and, I expect more realisations will come. The initial one is, I am mind blown by what Gymshark has become and love the ethos of the company, but realise that my ambition is not to be a 'Unicorn' company, simply a multi, multi million UK business with great products and ethics, that has international customers. It,s my stage of life and I know it. Brilliant content fella's.

Can see why Ben needs him on the team. Absolutely excellent interviewer. This had me captivated from start to finish. Can’t wait for the next one.

    Ben, it’s great that GymShark has had the growth it has, in fact it’s usually mentioned in every piece of media related to the brand! But what is GymShark’s environmental impact assessment plan? A billion dollar brand with all the manufacturing and transport etc that is involved has a huge environmental impact. Growth shouldn’t come at any cost, and using recycled packaging isn’t enough. It would be great to hear you talk more on this. Thanks.
