DOAC
About this episode

In these ‘Moment’ episodes of my podcast, I’ll be selecting my favourite moments from previous episodes of The Diary Of A CEO. Ben Francis is the genius behind Gymshark, the $1.5 billion fitness business. With success at 19, Ben had a vision, he had an idea and he had the passion. He wanted to create a truly iconic brand to help inspire people around the world. Ben leant into his strengths, and in this clip he advises those who want to become entrepreneurs to do the same. Leaning into those passions, along with hard work and smart work, will inevitably lead you to different opportunities. Fitness is Ben’s passion, it drives him everyday and in this clip, he encourages you to follow yours.
