Finally a rich 28 year old who doesn't sell courses.

[@NBA2KTEN]

Foreal!! A real physical business!. I'm not bashing the online courses but it's so saturated with fake people.

[@Thjonsson1]

Word!!!!

[@samtavoosian3059]

He is an exception. How many 28 years old billionaires you know in the fitness industry or even in general? This is the result of lots of work but also being at the right time and lots of luck. Actually becoming a billionaire for selling courses is way harder and almost impossible. I’m not a fan of fake gurus but some hustle like crazy. Mr beast is a good example probably going to be the first billionaire KZbinr

[@Thjonsson1]

@@samtavoosian3059 Timing and ideas are never the result behind success execution and hard work is what matters. You’re right There is not a lot 28 year old billionaires in any indystry. But still a lot of successful Young entrepreneurs. When it comes to dtc and e-commerce business there Will be a lot more guys like This commin. 15% of the worlds total retail market share is online. This is just the beginning of these success stories

[@samtavoosian3059]

@@Thjonsson1 I have been a sponsored athlete not gymshark but similar brands so I might have a little more insight than you. Gymshark was the first sportswear brand that brought bodybuilding/fitness into mainstream. This guy actually did the sewing himself in his basement. His friends became extremely famous models by promoting Gymshark. Gymshark brought a new era and revolutionized the fitness industry. They are like the alibaba of their industry and that is their number reason of massive success. They became the FIRST. You are right. There are successful entrepreneurs out there with e commerce business but they’ll never be able to get to this level by selling clothes. Chip Wilson the founder of LuLulemon is a also billionaire and he is 65 years old. This guy’s net worth is an exception example

Fantastic, Patrick. I learned much from this young man today!

[@Thebravemovement]

Very inspiring. As an entrepreneur, I always get a lot of great value from hearing other entrepreneurs who have created wildly successful businesses. My takeaways from his message is that he had several ideas that DID NOT work but continued on his path to create. He eventually created a massively successful business which in all honesty probably didn’t happen due to anything other than having a product people wanted and scaled the business accordingly. Some ideas take off and others don’t. Just keep pushing forward and eventually something will work in a big way.
