Mike Gettis, co-founder of Endy, has eighty-nine million reasons to be a disruptor. Along with his business partner Raj Ruparell, the duo began selling pillows online, but soon realized to control their distribution channel, they would have to alter their product line. Out sprung Endy, the customer-focused mattress company famous for Mattress-in-a-Box. Founded in 2015, Gettis and his partner observed companies were doing much of the same in terms of products, distribution and marketing; their revolutionary concept landed them an $89M deal with Sleep Country.

Mike Gettis is the Founder and CEO of Endy and actually, he and I have a lot in common. First we both have an awesome first name. And second, we’ve both ended up in careers that didn’t exist back when we were supposed to be deciding what we wanted to do when we grew up. Taking on a new career in a new industry, Mike had to quit the well-worn career path he was on to sell beds that come in boxes. Just a quick note about this episode, it was actually recorded during the middle of my digital marketing conference SocialWest, so a big thank you to Kyle Marshall from MediaLab for setting up a mini-podcast studio in the middle of a busy conference. This is episode 8 of the first season of the podcast "I Quit!", hosted by Mike Morrison. The path of being an entrepreneur is a winding road with many highs and lows. But for many, that journey often starts by saying two magical words: “I Quit!”. During the first season of I Quit! you’ll hear stories incredible entrepreneurs who quit their jobs and never looked back. Learn more at: www.iquitpodcast.ca
