Business Daily meets: Applied Nutrition'...

Bbc World Service
About this episode

We speak to a boss whose business has bulked up on the global wellness trend.

Tom Ryder got into fitness supplements as a side-hustle when he was a scaffolder for Liverpool City Council — now he runs Applied Nutrition, which is valued at more than £350million.

He tells Sean Farrington how growing up with his grandparents in public housing shaped his entrepreneurial spirit.
