Did you watch until the end to see the truth behind this video? 👀

[@JustDoingThisNow]

Love the studio!

[@mohammedkhazraji]

From Birmingham too. I've studied your journey and admire your work greatly, keep up what you're doing. You should write some type of memoir or autobiography.

[@hayden_england]

Love this guy. One of the most influential, inspirational, and humblest CEO’s in the world . No wonder he has built what he has. Thanks for sharing!

[@brynb1282]

I'm 18 months into my business and it's finally going well, still no days off in 450-ish days. I love watching your videos for motivation and love your openness - I've learned a lot and I'm still picking things up from you. Thanks for everything.

[@wilsonarifin]

Holy crap, this video makes me see Ben in a whole different perspective. He's so genuine in other videos, but in this particular one, I can see Ben as the greatest human being ever walked this planet LOL. This type of video makes us see Ben in a more 'human' side if that makes sense😂 We love you Ben, keep being an inspiration and role model for millions out there💪

[@ED-007]

The things that irritate you really resonate with what irritates me too. Says a lot about your character. Really appreciate it. It’s so refreshing to have leaders with morals, ethics and compassion.

[@deanshields8031]

What a genuine person you can see how that translates to the brand.

[@daltondascani7676]

That heist story is crazy, they pulled off a mission impossible movie in the span of a few hours.

[@liveitloveitlife]

A great attitude to business and this is reflected in the community you have built. Well done Ben, a truly inspirational person if there ever was. I also totally agree with your view on people looking down on others. Good luck in your future endeavours.

[@netrowex]

I really admire your personality in all aspects, you're a great human being & truly an inspiration for any entrepreneur out there.

[@kiwidancer97]

Love these kinds of videos!! Small business owner in New Zealand and feel like a good Ben Francis video is like a secret mentoring session in itself

[@clairebrodiefitness7913]

I have been wearing Gymshark since the very beginning and got to meet everyone a few years back at the VIP breakfast in Toronto was so fun 🤩 I so appreciate how kind you have been and appreciative... just so proud to see how Gymshark has progressed over the years!! You are awesome Ben 😎

[@shivamguptab2b]

You are truly an inspiration for young entrepreneurs like myself man. Keep the content up 🚀

[@mickandtraceycope7826]

Loved this Ben. My sis loves knives too..Getting married being best day of my life and being burgled one of the worst, so totally empathise with that. People who look down on other definitely gripes me too. You seem very child like and normal...Best trait in a person. You should be very proud of what you are continuing to achieve.👍💥

[@brettnash1]

Great video and getting and insight into you.. “I like knives” made me laugh.. Crazy about the heist. So sad that it sounds like an inside job. But you came out the other side Set building is awesome, you should make some crazy sets for some of the next videos

[@didibobo707]

You are such an inspiration 👏🏼 genuine genuine love your video 👍

[@viridianasanchez90]

Truly was a wonderful experience to have met you a few years back. I fell in love with your story and I’ve been a huge supporter since. Weirdly enough my biggest phobia is thalassophobia and specifically… SHARKS! Lol sending positive vibes to you all!!!

[@maisieandkate3428]

Great video Ben! Really insightful also to share the difficult time with the robbery. 👍🏼x

[@DuanBiyan]

What an incredible video, really interesting to learn more about behind the scenes of the person who runs gymshark! Really good vid 🦾

[@rosafiographic4294]

Thank you! Always enjoy your vids!! :) !

[@LondonIgor]

love it!! as always great!

[@hhh1200]

Best biz information in the fitness realm hands down!

[@bnwo]

That robbery story is crazy. It could almost be a movie.

[@lahainaj]

So down to earth!!thats why gymshark is so special😁✨

[@nicolleabbott835]

Love it Ben, I still cannot believe I met you at Arnold fest last year

[@chesolder871]

Can you do a video about your notion/how it improves work flow? Would be a good video.

[@taylenday]

It's the World of Warcraft fact for me. Same here!

[@jmrracing7097]

Enjoy your vids. Is Robin going to do a farm update?

[@conantf]

You guys got married so fast! So gorgeous, Robin 💕

[@richardelliott8141]

That’s really quite awful regarding those robbery’s. Very unsettling and takes a strong person to be bounce back and move forward. 🤛🏻

[@wadiolopez]

😂😂 re the vegetables 🥕🥦 I didn’t try pizza until my mid twenties or coffee until my late 20’s! 😂😂 ☕️ 🍕 🤷🏽‍♂️ Keep up the great work. A fellow West Midlander 👍🏽

[@jessejunesworld]

never knew you were funny 🤣 but knives had me laughing big time

[@twktwo123]

amazing video!

[@daniellejose6382]

Whats the name of sweater ben francis always wearing?

[@eddy_creative]

06:00 Many of the entrepreneurs I know personally have ALL played Runescape and WoW growing up. I'm not sure about the psychology or relevance per se, but it seems to be a common theme. Maybe like you said, the fake economies in the game and learning how to trade / sell really helped us all in the beginning stages of starting a business.

[@nickhumph]

World of Warcraft as education and working with teams. Couldn’t agree more 👏 👏 👏

[@bree.bonnie]

I related to you more than I expected

[@rocioornelas9660]

I did not eat diced tomato until last week, I'm 27! I hope to finally visit Gymshark HQ in UK Ben! Pending from 2020😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️🦈

[@joshediting]

Hi Ben, Josh here from uni. Where can I find the same office chair and desk you showed at 8:26? Looking to upgrade home office. Thanks for the good video 👍

[@gymshark]

Are we going to see a Ben Francis x Sheryl Crow video anytime soon?

[@youcefwippert]

I also watch The Office US on repeat. The best series ever created in my opinion

[@thedrvn]

An organised robbery in Birmingham! Just another day in brum lol

[@hiramdominicus7413]

She introduced him to vegetables 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@maxwellrushton4613]

What a G

[@NFTAlpha.]

Ben how do we get at you for Business enquiries

[@instantfoot1984]

Hi Ben ! I am a French student in Paris in a business school I and would love to do an internship in your company ! 😍 Is there any way I could transfer you my CV directly or whatsoever, because it would be a really great experience for me, and I am really motivated and willing to work very hard !

[@Lozh1993]

I love the fact that you just say how much you work. I appreciate the fact that work life balance is a thing for a lot of people but honestly it's become something of a myth now. As Jordan Peterson says ....work hard! Appreciate the content Ben. Never stop

[@utsahagrawal6378]

not to be arrogant but in future gymshark is hiring me

[@seanjamescameron]

I didn't eat salad until I was 30.

[@rosafiographic4294]

Hey!! Would you guys have remote jobs for the US office? I’m really good and would love to work for you guys! (Sorry to put it on here! - being totally random!) :)

[@theyseemetrollintheycantwi1514]

Marry a rich man ladies you’ll get a 3 day wedding.

[@surgicalcapscom]

studio X

[@love_fleurette]

An English man who’s never hadda dessert 🤔. I don’t believe that

[@lestermorillo3733]

Where do you see Gymshark by the end of the decade. Year: 2030

[@ahmedmakin7133]

Do a collab with Jordan peterson, a video or something would be amazing and even a Joe Rogan show

[@silviu.iordache]

@BenFrancis wouldn't reply to this comment, would he?

[@lewisdocherty1930]

Personally I Feel as if he was trying to hint at Lewis Morgan being behind the so called heist as he kept on mentioning change in the business and that was one he left anyone else feel like this

[@ryanalexander3088]

The Lewis morgan that got a 100 mill? 😅😂

[@lewisdocherty1930]

@@ryanalexander3088 potentially as the two of them haven’t talked or liked each other for a long time

[@kewlstorybr0o]

I appreciate the clickbait 👌🏻

[@adama5576]

More like your robbed Lewis shush

[@ryanalexander3088]

How's that?
