I want to be respectful as possible when I say this but your line of questioning around GS was shit. I know Lewis can't say much for legal reasons but there were so many questions you could have asked to get a better understanding of why he asked. Also please stop interrupting your guests and let them speak!

Big ups mate

[@VinEvil]

I’ve been following Lewis’s journey since GS started sending Lex their stringers and it’s incredible to see how far Lewis has come. Lucky enough to have met them at BP and it was such an eye opening experience for me. The buzz was like nothing I’ve ever experienced. Lewis’s journey has not been as smooth as what most would have thought but hasn’t stopped him putting himself in a fantastic position in life. He’s still taking risks and still mega driven at creating other movements and helping others. You just can’t bet against him. Back in Nov he was even kind enough to go out of his way and give me a call and chat about Veve for a while as I was losing my bloody head over it all 🤑⭕️ He is a top bloke and he still inspires me more than anyone else and he always conducts himself very well.

[@abdimahamed1408]

Lewis is a G I can’t wait to meet him his knowledge is unbelievable and he’s humble aswell

[@gamerforever6185]

Respect to Lewis for all he’s been through still wearing his gymshark top.

[@aakashnhoor185]

"Take me back ben" lol

[@sirpipealot]

That’s what puzzled me as well !

[@Immaculateve]

Oh he actually is

[@MobEra89]

If I was a uni student working in Burton and became a millionaire from the brand I would wear it for life too

[@TJ-eo2qf]

Lewis is such a great guy. Worked hard for his money but is still so humble and can speak from the perspective of theaverage person and not one of these marketers who tell you you’re worthless if you’re not making millions every year

[@CallOfDutyVideos99]

Been watching both yours and Lewis youtube channels from the start, Lewis has helped me so much with financial advice throughout his podcast and have followed his story for a long time...GymShark would not be where it is today without Lewis I have so much respect for the guy until this podcast I havent even heard him mention anything not even a bad word...you would have never known such a thing has happened, hes only had to do this now as a response to Bens recent podcast. Lewis and CEOCAST have nothing but respect for you brothers and im sure you're both going to achieve greatness both your podcats have kept me going and helped me tough periods mentally and financially giving me the hope and desire i need to strive on! GOD BLESS YOU BOTH, MORE BLESSINGS AND MORE PROSPOERITY to you both. Brilliant podcast as always

[@nx89]

Genuinely one of the best poddys ive seen in ages. Respect to Lewis for sharing his side of the story.

[@jamiekoh6113]

Really hope Lewis and Ben can mend things out better. You already know this will be both of their life regrets when they look back on it when they're seniors. *KNOCK ON WOOD* Even worst if anything happens to either of them, there will be sadness and regret both ways.

[@ryanwelsh1864]

Great to hear someone asking all the questions we want to know. Always thought something more went on but nothing was ever spoken about. Great poddy, Lewis is really inspiring. Would be sick to get him on with the Edgerton brothers 🔥

[@TheAnxiousInvestor]

Lewis is too relatable & honest. Sad hearing some of this but what an entrepreneur 👊🏽 great podcast / poddy

[@Aia-ky7uh]

no one who is an actual gymshark needs to wear clothes with the words GYMSHARK ON lol. Ben is obviously a nasty cancer, anyone who buys the stuff is a joke

[@Henry-rp8fw]

Well done for getting Lewis on the podcast!!

[@aqibx]

Amazing to see what you have done with this podcast! Such an inspiration!

[@sketchuphub]

I only recently became aware of Ben and Lewis in terms of Gymshark. This is the first time I've seen Lewis in an interview. I've watched quite a few podcasts/interviews with Ben and I don't really agree with Lewis's viewpoint. I was 100% aware of who Lewis was (before this interview) in terms of co-founding Gymshark and his connection to the growth of this brand. And that's because Ben was, in my opinion, pretty open about Lewis's involvement in the early days. I don't believe it's fair to say that Ben has tried to erase Lewis's involvement. Clearly, there's a lot of water under the bridge and we'll never know truly what happened in the obvious fall-out between these two. I'm guessing that Ben referred to the 'difference in vision' as a PC way of handling it because no one really wants to air their dirty laundry in public, especially if you're representing a big brand. Lewis is focused on dates quite a bit and to be honest, no one really cares about that. If he's not prepared to disclose what really happened, then it's kinda a non-story. Either way, both of them should be incredibly proud of what they achieved. Who knows, in 20 years after enough time has passed, they might bury the hatchet and join forces again. Stranger things have happened.

[@shelbz5550]

Lewis is a Top Man. Very genuine, I’ve followed him for a long time. I’ve always had a funny feeling about Ben Francis for this exact reason. Beabyl going to be massive 👍

[@clubgel]

Ben gives covert narcissist vibes (clinical definition). Harmless on outside but quite ruthless inside

[@user-dg4pz1gt9i]

I think that’s a necessary characteristic of millionaires / billionaires . Even though Lewis isn’t like that, Ben was doing all the dirty work that needed to be done along the way for maximum growth

Lewis Morgan is an inspiration. I only came across him a year or so ago when he first started his poddy and i heard his story on another podcast. What a guy! Didn’t even realise he was from Bromsgrove which is only a few miles away from me. Wish i went to school with the guy haha

I like both Ben and Lewis, have respect for both, seeing them both from year one. Really wish them both well.

[@BF-eb4xs]

Very good poddy. I personally like both Ben & Lewis, I think what they’ve created has inspired many. As the host said, I’ve always wondered what happen between them two, because if it was a different vision, they go their seperate ways but would be hang out etc right? But the unfollowing (I noticed that), and all that... says it goes a lot deeper. You can tell by how Lewis responds, their hurt there... and so much he wants to say but can’t.

[@LifeofKamalOfficial]

Refreshing af to hear Lewis speak up about the things we’ve all been wondering about🙌🏾 Nice podcast boys!

[@abbas4ah]

Literally been watching you since you started this podcast. The growth has been mad.

glad you're enjoying the content!

[@ashdutton7172]

This podcast got good after you finished talking about why he left gymshark! Which didn’t really answer it just left a load of open ended questions for the people that care, I’m not bothered by that what I am bothered about is finding out the way he thinks and that’s why it got good! You can see there is anger and resentment for what happened it was oozing out and hard to hide but then his passion of his new companies and nfts was what I was tuned into! So it ended great! Seems like a great guy, would love to have a chat with him that’s for sure! 👊🏼

[@ajaybanta3271]

Followed Lewis from the beginning a proper inspirational lad and his journey has been incredible to follow!

What’s mad is I was at the gym late night when these boys rocked up the night before bodypower, The Gym In Birmingham City Centre opposite where Primark is now…history was made

[@jmckzx]

“No. 1 - Everyone was being sick” 😂😂😂 tickled me that story

[@SharmarkeW23]

Good to see Lewis finally speaking out, always knew there was something fishy going on with his exit. The fact that Ben has been going around for years specifically pushing the narrative of being a solo founder makes me question his integrity but that's just me 🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️. Everything works out in the end and Lewis will always be my no1 inspiration and why I started my brand years ago.

[@JD-zq4fo]

he barely mentions Lewis, and when he does he just says 'my friend/partner'.

Well done bud. I saw you interview Lord aleem and your presenting skills have improved 10x!

[@JeffreyDarkoOfficial]

Sad reality is this how business is. CEO CAST well done on your questions finally bro. I do think you should have touched on Louis not talking to his father. It seems from young he dwells on a lot of things and his current attitude of challenging gymshark, I can only hope goes his way. He is a smart entrepreneur and very obsessive. He will always do well I believe 💯

[@kingofkicksuk]

Got to watch any content put out with with Lewis on someone like that drops gems by accident 💎

[@GokuBlack-sn5dr]

next episode has to be ben francis bruv.

[@shxvxm7207]

Nah fuck Ben, Lewis was just as much a part of the brand as Ben and he got fucked over for trusting Ben. I hope the AYBL group ends up overtaking Gymshark

[@kaiserrazzaq6865]

Raheem, I'm loving your podcasts, very professional, excellent video and sound quality. I heard all about Ben Francis, but never of Lewis until now. This story Reminds me of the Facebook film The Social Network!!!

[@KayodeKoD]

Great interview, very inspiring. Quick one though, yes he's right that Crypto-backed loans are available now, but it's different to staking though (he might have just said it quickly by mistake in the interview, it happens). Staking you're earning "interest" on that crypto asset. Crypto-backed loans (where your Crypto asset is collateral) you're borrowing against your Crypto, whereby if you don't pay back the loan (or the price significantly drops past a certain point), you'll be liquidated and they keep your Crypto asset.

I don't think you got to the truth which is the purpose of the interview. Push harder on your guests and reveal what people want to hear. Overall it was an interesting chat. Lewis clearly has something to prove and your channel is pushing in the right direction.

Interesting podcast, also the host is massively better at interviewing since a year ago. I never realised there was another founder for gym shark. Although I find it hard to believe you can go from £1000-£3000 to a £1m value in nft trading. Can’t be right..
