GROWING GYMSHARK TO A BILLION: The in depth story | Ben Francis Podcast

[@captaincrankshaft]

End of 2021: How I grew Gymshark into a 10 billion dollar company!

[@DanDasilvaToday]

Dude you're a literal inspiration to so many people. You're going so fast and your mindset is impeccable.

[@dananderson8641]

100% it’s the “be part of something bigger than me” for me.

[@lookintothesky123]

This is what can happen if you dont focus your energy on being a drop shipping mmo guru.

I love how open, honest and raw this is! All the questions everyone was thinking was answered! Absolutely wicked video guys 🙌🏼

[@SimpleeKomplex]

With young leaders like this, our future is bright!

[@BF-eb4xs]

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. 😃

[@joshuabrennan5694]

As a final year Marketing student, I can't emphasise enough how valuable it is to hear these insights from you guys, it helps people like myself with fairly limited industry experience to really plan and prepare for the start of our careers - thankyou!

[@mikerenshaw7867]

Love how humble and down to earth you are Ben. Gymshark is the sucess story we all need :)

[@LIVINGLOVEFIT]

Thanks for being so transparent Ben, a man of his word giving back! The Format of this interview is refreshing. Have a great Christmas guys!

[@jeannekay4544]

I am ashamed to say I never heard of gymshark until a month ago. Discovering your channel is one of the best things that have happened in 2020 and I look forward to learning about your business your business models, and gain further insight into your journey to success.You are a true role model.

[@Scampi95]

Mate, this is amazing. I'm so grateful for your uploads.

[@dominicgilbert519]

@24:05 when Noel said you should show that you're human he's bang on. It's far more relatable. Fantastic interview - really enjoyed it.

[@Oli_Timmis]

Another insanely inspiring video, thanks Ben & Noel! A huge fan of this format as well. Like Noel says - far better than just watching a screen-recording of a Zoom call (shout out to James for the amazing editing yet again haha!)

[@BackGuy]

Rumors say Ben has the biggest back in the UK

[@sirhatmaker]

You are awesome dude! Whenever I feel like somethings not going well I watch a video and feel so inspired and it gives me the drive to just push through, keep being awesome it amazing to see how far you've come!

[@arthurtheaardvark13]

I thoroughly enjoyed this video, as I enjoy all of Ben's videos. I'm continually so blown away by Ben's transparency, intelligence, humility, eloquence, and moral compass. 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.

[@user-oi1tc1xh4p]

Love it! Real energy rushed through the zoom call!

[@carre8390]

I wish I could be this succesful at such a young age. Ben is so inspiring :)

[@netrowex]

I love how humble you're, your transparent... Just love you man!

[@msforever39]

Thank you for your products they literally made me love working out. I went from a size 16 to a size 6 because gymshark made me love wearing my outfits for the gym. So thank you.

[@kristinablagojevic3537]

Amazing!

[@tobiashusvagn]

Your CBO is a star and a genius communicator!

[@wesleyhealey5272]

Going back to the enthusiasm and drive within the whole team, the energy starts at the top. I think your team and people that watch these conversations can just see you have a big heart. Kind people shine. Good man 🙏

[@FamousJames]

Nice, I'm 36, I've been trying to create a brand for 20 years. Over lockdown I created one but i'm not sure how to advertise, create, etc etc. I know the brand is good. I love your business side bits. I'd love mentoring or even guidance.

[@fabandell]

Loving this lads! Really felt like I was in the zoom call with you.

[@Lozh1993]

This is fantastic as usual. Inspirational stuff. Thanks for keeping the content coming.

[@firstnamesecondname5341]

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 😁👍

[@MichaelCronan49]

Just wanted to shout out the editing on this badboy, to sync up the video call, with the footage from the secondary cameras is soo cool!!

[@jamesperrett6022]

Thank you Mike! Glad someone understands what a pain that was to do haha! Appreciate you taking the time to comment :D

[@chrissmiles92]

Love watching your videos and learning from your journey! A true inspiration 🙌🏻

[@thelifefantasticfive5995]

absolutely loved your podcast! would love you to do another one. And would love another tour around your business again to see what's changed we all love you Ben France

[@prepfood7300]

Love the emotions but I love more that you have given back to your management team. An ambition of mine that has always been if my business ever comes of anything. No better feeling than togetherness 🙏👊

[@marktyrrell8503]

What an incredibly humble, driven, hard working and inspirational person you are. 👌👏💪 I'm so inspired by the journey you've undertaken.

[@greatbritishpippa8854]

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.

[@AnjuliMack]

Noel did such a great job with running this & interviewing you, great job guys! LOVE this.

[@evpro_]

This is such a great insight lads. Please keep doing these! Love the editing and multiple cameras on this too! Love it

[@theolaville7916]

[@hanleyhicks]

Incredible, an inspiration to all young entrepreneurs! Wish you and your team all the success in 2021 and future business 💫

[@jackjmccarthy]

23:30 is sooo real from Ben, he's so humble and genuine and you can truly see that! Glad they left that in unfiltered! Everyone is lying if they say they are not happy to earn some money alongside chasing their passions, who TF is happy working for minimum wage. He changed his life and SO MANY around him!!

[@Letstalkaddiction1]

Congratulations 🎉 your podcast with TG was excellent, you’re a great business man.

[@mattheap81]

Nothing but admiration for what you and your team have achieved Ben...truly remarkable stuff. Well done!

Well done lads! Keep them coming - Noel a local boy to where I grew up, great to see!!

[@kjellc]

Ben, love the effort and dedication you put into everything you do. You are true inspiration🙏

[@betterway7543]

Great interview, very authentic. Shows not only the business intelligence that has been the catalyst for the growth of Gymshark, but also the applied wisdom at the heart of the company. Wishing you all the continued success going forward 👍

[@callumhutson58]

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!

[@olivergilpin]

Thanks a ton on the time stamps, very helpful

So Humble, so real. Awsome work Ben and Team. Hope to cross paths one day.

[@BenBroughton]

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.

Hey Ben, just wanted to recommend an amazing video idea, remember 3 years ago you went to Jon’s in Marbella and trained with Henrik ? You should do that again CrossFit with Hendrik, Jon, Benni and you 🔥

[@AA-ke2ns]

Funny that I got to know about you before you started KZbin 😂

Class content, would love to know more about outsourcing from the beginning - the trust aspect and full process in general 💥

[@andrewlucky1038]

I've always wanted to invest in forex/stock trading, after a few trials I realized that trading without a good mentor and guidance is a waste of time and money.

[@donaldmicheal4288]

I have always wanted to expand my business but I could not do that because the cash was not forth coming as I had planned. Getting referred to Mr Andy Calistoga played a great role in that vision. Mr Andy is a great mentor and the best trader/Account manager on my list.

[@michealdonaldray5198]

Honesty and trust means a lot to me that's why I still trade with Mr Andy. It's been 7months now and I haven't had reasons to doubt his competence. Traders/Account managers like him are hard to come by.

[@anthonyauthur7720]

The way things are happening in my life ever since i started trading with Mr Andy Calistoga has given me a cause to be happy. I was in a huge amount of debt few months ago but all that has been cleared. All thanks to Mr Andy trading mastermind.

[@petersonvalentine5126]

I’ll like to speak to Mr Andy, can I’ve his email?

[@imacoolkindofguy302]

They honestly gotta attribute alot of their success to david he fucking made that shit skyrocket with his amazing KZbin videos and unboxings not taking away all the hard ass work ben did but I feel like it's unfair to act like it was all him david and many other sponsors is what grabbed people in the first place to buy the product
