This next episode features Paul Richardson.
Paul Richardson is a Businessman and Entrepreneur with a roster of brands that would be too long to mention. He was the former executive director and chairman of Gymshark in the early days of the company, and grew the brand with Ben Francis and Lewis Morgan to a 300 million dollar valuation.
Paul is currently the owner of HERA, who sponsor this podcast, so it was a pleasure to have an hour of his time to speak about the journey to his success.
HERA is a British-based clothing and apparel brand that is taking the industry by storm. Their unique and tailored approach to a competitive and over-polluted industry is amazing to witness. Paul acquired the brand in 2021 and since then, has transformed HERA to what it is today. A symbol and statement in the fashion world.
On this episode, we spoke about:
- How he got involved with Gymshark and the reasons for leaving
- His career success and the brands he helped grow
- The decision to buy the HERA brand
- What it means to be a business owner and leader
- How does he stay dialled in
Paul is a pleasure to chat to and I feel like I walked away with lots of life lessons and knowledge on how to be a kick ass business leader.
