Stay humble, stay challenged. In this previously live episode of Speaking About Speaking I speak with Director, Financial Strategist, and former CFO of Gymshark, Philip Daw.   Chartered accountant, Phil spent 28 years as senior partner in general practice, before in 2019, he was tempted by fast-growing gym wear brand, Gymshark to join them as chief financial officer (CFO).   A brave move considering founder, Ben Francis, was only 27 and the average age of Gymshark employees was 28, but Phil embraced the challenge. During his time with them they became what's known as a ‘Unicorn' business, that is they achieved a billion-dollar valuation!   Now, as Director and financial lead at We Are Whanau, alongside former Gymshark president, Steve Hewitt, Phil helps other companies find their ‘North Star' and progress to Unicorn status.   Of course, this is fascinating stuff but - I hear you ask - what has this got to do with Speaking About Speaking?   Let me explain... I knew very little about Gymshark, the business or its ethos before Phil asked me in September 2021 to go to Gymshark HQ in Solihull and work with him and the team to help improve their public speaking skills. They were presenting to an important and formidable audience and Phil in particular needed a confidence boost.   As I always do, before heading off I did a little research and found that founder, Ben Francis, being an introvert, realised his lack of speaking confidence was making his audience feel uncomfortable, so decided it was his duty to learn the art of public.   I also found that the company motto is ‘Stay Humble.' Which I love! For me, humility is an underestimated but crucial quality that creates curious and compassionate speakers.   I was honoured and excited to have Philip join me for this conversation. We discussed all of the above. Plus, the power of ... Building a culture that empowers people. Influencer marketing. A simple business model. The sliding doors moment.

9/11 remains the most infamous act of terrorism perpetrated against the United States - but it did not mark the first time terrorists had targeted New York's World Trade Center. Thirty years ago on February 26 1993, a huge 600kg bomb exploded in the parking garage beneath the twin towers, causing a 100ft crater that was several stories deep. Six people died instantly, with thousands hurt in panicked attempts to evacuate. And yet, due to what would happen at the World Trade Center eight years later, this attack is rarely remembered.In this episode, James is joined by leading terrorism expert and University of Birmingham historian Dr Steve Hewitt to learn more about the day Middle Eastern terrorism arrived on American soil, foreshadowing the tragic events of 2001.The Senior Producer was Elena GuthrieThe Assistant Producer was Annie ColoeMixed & edited by Aidan LonerganFor more US history, check out History Hit's newest podcast - American History Hit.

For this year's Midlands and Southwest Innovator of the Year Awards, the judges met four finalists at each region respectively. These eight finalists were shortlisted down from a record 176 applications.  In Birmingham lunch, the finalists in this podcast were MoM incubators, Hybrid Air Vehicles and Bambino Mio. The judges, Martin Vander Weyer, business editor of The Spectator met Steve Hewitt, non-executive director of Gymshark; Clive Bawden. COO of Warwick Music and former finalist of the Innovator of the Year Awards and Michelle White representing Investec. The judges faced the tough task of comparing businesses in very different sectors and stages of development. But all four made compelling pitches – and the variety of entries is part of the fun of these Awards. We hope all the companies we meet gain from the networking opportunities, benefit from the accolade of being selected as finalists and enjoy the buzz, the conversation and the lunch.  We hope Spectator readers and podcast listeners also enjoy following the search for this year's ultimate winners – and will take a few minutes to explore the finalists' websites and products.  More Economic innovator of the Year Awards podcasts coming shortly!

Mientras bandas como Muse o U2 se diluyen en giras interminables y discos venidos a menos, Placebo ha sorprendido a propios y extraños, con un disco increíble, muy potente y que demuestran que tras 22 años de carrera pueden volver a estar en lo más alto de las listas de ventas y ser una verdadera sorpresa para los que ya los conocíamos o los que gracias a esta nueva entrega que este larga duración ‘Never Let Me Go’ han podido empezar a conocer. Las bandas crean bastante ‘hype’ con los lanzamientos de adelantos de sus discos, y no se equivocan con ellos, casi siempre esas primeros tanteos con el público denotan de qué va a ir el resto del trabajo. No solemos equivocarnos: cuando esas entregas son flojas, cuando el disco sale a la luz, sigue siendo flojo. Placebo son un dúo londinense, aunque en algunos momentos de su carrera llegaron a ser 3 componentes. La banda se creó en 1994, formada inicialmente por el cantante y guitarrista Brian Molko y el bajista y guitarrista Stefan Olsdal. Brian y Stefan coincidieron en el American International School of Luxembourg, por lo visto sin conocerse personalmente. Justo en el año de formación de la banda fue cuando ambos por fin coincidieron en la estación del metro de South Kensington. Oldslad volvía de tomar unas clases de guitarra. Molko le vio con la guitarra y le invitó a ir a un concierto suyo. En ese concierto nació la semilla de Placebo, aunque en esos primeros pasos se llamaron Ashtray Heart, que era una canción de la banda Capitan Beefheart. Ese nombre lo tuvieron por poco tiempo, para pasar a llamarse definitivamente Placebo. Brian escogió como baterista a Steve Hewitt, que era su amigo, aunque con fecha de caducidad porque tenía otros compromisos con la banda local Breed. Al final, Hewit y otro baterista, Robert Schultzberg iba turnándose en la banda. Fue éste último quien grabó el disco homónimo de Placebo. El primero y el último, volviendo de nuevo Hewitt. El punto álgido de su carrera llegaría en 1997, participaron en el concierto homenaje del 50 cumpleaños de David Bowie que se realizó en el Madison Square Garden. Ese año empezarían gira e incluso llegaron a telonear a U2. Sólo un año después, en 1998 aparecía su segundo disco ‘Without You I’m Nothing’. En ese larga duración aparecería uno de sus grandes temas ‘Every Me Every You’, que tantas alegrías les ha dado. Este tema pasó a formar parte de la banda sonora de la película ‘Crueles Intenciones’, en el que el propio Bowie hace dúo con Molko a las voces. Ese año grabarían otro tema icónico del rock de todos los tiempos: ‘20th Century Boy’ de Marc Bolan y T. Rex. Recordemos que el fallecido Marc se codeaba con Bowie en la década de los 70 por el disputado puesto de Rey del Glam-Rock, aunque ambos eran muy amigos. Dicho tema se incluyó en la banda sonora de la película ‘Velvet Goldmine’, además de hacer un cameo en la misma. También tocaron ese tema junto a su mentor, Bowie en los Brit Awards. Llega el cambio de milenio y aparecen con otro disco bajo el brazo: ‘Black Market Music’, donde cambian radicalmente de estilo, alejándose de ese sonido melancólico de sus baladas. En 2003 aparecería ‘Sleeping With Ghosts’, donde experimentaron abiertamente con la electrónica. Nuevamente, 3 años después aparece ‘Meds’, en el que aparecen como músicos Mosshart de The Kills y Stipe de R.E.M. Era 2006 y Placebo cumplían sus 10 años juntos, por lo que aprovecharon para reeditar su primer disco incluyendo además rarezas y un DVD de ellos mismos presentando los temas. En 2008 se preparan para grabar nuevo disco, con nuevo batería, Steve Forrest, batería de Evaline que les había telefoneado en alguna gira. El disco aparecería un año después, ‘Battle for the Sun’. Hizo falta una espera de 4 años para que sacaran otro trabajo, ya sin ninguno de los baterías hasta ahora mencionados. El disco ‘Loud Like Love’, es considerado por Molko como el mejor hasta entonces. Estaban preparando nuevo álbum cuando nos cogió a todos por sorpresa la pandemia, posponiéndose hasta 2021. En mayo de ese año, aparecería la primera entrega con el tema ‘Beautiful James’, que es con el que hemos abierto el programa. En noviembre ‘Sorrounded by Spies’, con el que desvelarían el nombre de su nuevo disco ‘Never Let Me Go’ que hoy nos ocupa. Al final, fue en 2022 cuando apareció, aunque esas dos primeras entregas dejaron buen sabor de boca y dieron lugar a que fuese realmente un disco muy esperado. El sonido de Placebo es fácilmente reconocible por la voz nasal de Molko y las cadencias oscuras de sus composiciones. Es una banda que, al igual que su mentor, David Bowie, no ha tenido miedo al experimentar con nuevos instrumentos o sonoridades. Sus letras y su puesta en escena, sobre todo por las reconocibles camisetas de tiras de Molko, les ha permitido hablar sobre la homosexualidad (Olsdal es homosexual y Molko bisexual) y el uso de drogas.

The Freedom Convoy is over, they lost. Justin Trudeau implemented the Emergencies Act and forced then out of the city. But not without 191 arrests, police dragging truckers form their vehicles, video showing mounted police trampling over at least one woman.

Reporter David Craig says politics has entered the rule of law, but Steve Hewitt thinks Trudeau is not quite a threat to democracy, and Isaiah Bullard, a US truck driver believes the truckers just wanted a dialogue with the PM

Steve Hewitt Today I am talking to Steve about his songwriting, singing and his inspirations. We get a little nerdy about guitar tunings as well.   ‘The evident influences of folk, blues, country and alternative rock flowing through Steve's creative veins, the syncretic approach to drawing from multiple sources has helped shape his own distinctive voice within the Alternative folk roots scene in the United Kingdom. Whilst steeped in the earthy acoustic tones and allowing simplicity to carry the message of his songs, Hewitt's music pushes and pulls between genre boundaries with each finely crafted track transmitting its own unique character and identity'- Pete Baldwin, Ambicon Music   For Details of Steve's work visit   www.Stevehewittmusic.com     https://youtu.be/7qFsaxf1S-g https://youtu.be/glW-bvY2D00 https://youtu.be/lA911nWH-hI https://youtu.be/3fTy8EfNmIE   To support the podcast and get access to features about guitar playing and song writing visit https://www.patreon.com/vichyland and also news for all the creative music that we do at Bluescamp UK and France visit www.bluescampuk.co.uk   For details of the Ikaro music charity visit www.ikaromusic.com   Big thanks to Josh Ferrara for the music   To support the podcast and get access to features about guitar playing and song writing visit https://www.patreon.com/vichyland and also news for all the creative music that we do at Bluescamp UK and France visit www.bluescampuk.co.uk For details of the Ikaro music charity visit www.ikaromusic.com Big thanks to Josh Ferrara for the music

We are joined on this week's Sheer Isolation by Wiltshire's very own Kirsty Clinch. Kirsty is a folk musician who has more recently turned her attention to creating songs for toddlers. Over lockdown she illustrated and authored a children's song book which links to a series of short music videos on YouTube that she also produced. On top of this, she has also opened her own music school for young children with plans to expand into nurseries and village halls as more restrictions are eased. And with an impressive 111,000+ Instagram followers, she's got plenty of support for her many projects, although we learn that having that many followers comes with its own challenges! We play a couple of singer-songwriter tracks this week - one from Americana artist, Steve Hewitt, who will be playing in Trowbridge in August, and Kirsty's choice is a tune from UK based Texan, Arielle. In the news, we look at new rules coming into force next month for nightclubs and large venues to reduce the spread of Covid. This episode was created by Kieran Moore in Trowbridge and Jon Ponting in Cricklade. Don't forget to look for us on the schedule of your local community radio station; we're on the airwaves in Wiltshire, Gloucestershire and Somerset.

At 16, he began building websites. At 18, he became a regular at the gym. At 20, he started sewing and screen-printing workout apparel in his garage. By 26, when most adults are only on the cusps of their careers, Ben Francis had already launched a viral gym clothing line, served as its CEO, and stepped down in favor of a more creative role in the wildly successful company. Today, the Gymshark founder works alongside 190 staff, including the high school buddies who partnered with him to launch the brand, bringing this unmistakable apparel line to customers in more than 130 countries. And while it seems like this former pizza delivery boy magically rocketed to entrepreneurial stardom overnight (OK, he sort of did), his success can be traced back to a dedication to community building and an innate understanding of social media influencer marketing, long before it was a thing. But it all started with amateur website building, a love for fitness, and a whole lot of YouTube. Years before he was a CEO, Francis longed to make a name for himself in the fitness space. But the closest thing he had to investors were people calling to order a pizza, so establishing a clothing brand couldn’t have seemed less attainable. Not to be discouraged by limited funds, Francis and his high school friends began a workout supplement drop-shipping business and quickly realized that there was an opening in the workout apparel market. Dressing a bodybuilder and a skinny, weight-lifting newbie are two totally different jobs, especially when you’re going for form-hugging designs fit for a workout. Francis and friends, however, believed they could create a line that would be sleek, modern, and appealing to gymgoers of any body type. “And so,” Francis says, “I bought a screen printer and a sewing machine and started to make the clothes by hand.” The designs were an overnight sensation. “People were seeing the clothes, and they were so iconic and unique, that it sort of started to spread like wildfire,” Francis says. But the real secret sauce was the passion he and his friends had for YouTube. Influencing Influencers In the early 2010s, YouTube was rising fast. People passionate about everything from movies to knitting, gaming to, yes, fitness, were creating video content and building communities around shared interests. Francis and his friends were among the millions who joined online followings based on their hobbies, but stuck around for the personalities in the videos. One such fitness YouTuber who held their attention was Lex Griffin of Lex Fitness, whose channel now has over 440,000 followers. Another was Chris Lavado, whose channel has 65,000 subscribers today. Realizing they could leverage the followings of others, Francis and his friends pursued a business strategy that put them on the map, and that they still use today. They sent samples to Griffin, Lavado and other fitness YouTubers they admired, and hoped for a stamp of approval—and a video to prove it. While the term “influencer marketing” has only recently entered into the pop consciousness, the principle has been around as long as marketing. Attracting the favor of a wealthy or influential person by showering them in gifts that define a brand is as a classic move, a point Francis illustrated by sharing some history of his hometown of Birmingham, UK. For hundreds of years, the Jewellery Quarter in central Birmingham has been a hub for opulent accessories. Many jewelers open businesses in the Quarter, and the competition is fierce. But historically, there was one way to ensure that a brand’s name would be on everyone’s lips: become the first choice of royalty. Frances explained that this principle of vying for favor worked then and still works now. “They would provide a bunch of free jewelry to royalty so that people would associate that jewelry with the royalty and then hopefully back to the brand and go buy it,” he says. “It’s no different to what influencer marketing is nowadays.” “I think it’s worked forever, and as far as I’m aware, I think it’ll always work.” And so, like an ambitious jeweler in the 1700s, Francis sent off his product to curry favor with those who had the power to make his brand catch fire. And it worked. “They absolutely loved it, and they’re still with us today,” he says. “That started, I guess, what you’d now call an influencer market for us.” Today, Francis continues to leverage the audiences of athletes through an ambassador program that now includes such personalities as bodybuilder Matt Ogus, lifestyle and fitness vlogger Nikki Blackketter, and weightlifter Whitney Simmons. Because of Francis’s early success in harnessing an influencer-generated market, Gymshark has never relied on investors for capital. “We never needed investment,” he says. “So why complicate things?” Francis recognizes, though, that there was also a component of luck at work. He entered the world of social media influencer marketing when it was still a young idea, and those with followings weren’t inundated daily with products in search of a boost. “I do think it’s a hell of a lot more difficult than when we first started,” he admits. “It’s a completely different place now.” But if he were to launch a new business today, a venture he says would be a fun challenge with the vastly changed online landscape, he knows exactly where he would focus his attention. “Product is king at the end of the day,” he says. “I would focus on creating an absolutely brilliant and a gorgeous product because I think from that, it’s like a snowball effect.” He believes that by designing a remarkable, unique, and stunning product, anyone can rise above the cacophony online. “If you get someone’s attention with a genuinely brilliant product, people will wear it, people will use it, and people will talk about it.” But for now, Francis is focused on the current community he has built. Fostering Community Growing up, Francis loved attending events and expos in his hometown and dreamed of the day he would not only participate, but host his own. His belief in the power of person-to-person advertising was instilled in him as a young expo attendee and has continued to stick with him into his mid-20s. “Even though the world is becoming ever more online, and 99.9 percent of what we do is online, there is always space for that human connection, and I think that’s really, really important, and it’s a real important thing to Gymshark.” So in Gymshark’s very early days, when an opportunity to participate in an expo presented itself, Francis says that nothing could have stopped him from finding a way to join. When he reached out to one of the coordinators to find out how much it would cost to get Gymshark a spot, he was quoted a price far more than they were able to afford at the time. But as Francis likes to emphasize, he plans hyper long-term and hyper short-term and lets the rest in between work itself out. “This was 12 months in advance of the show, and I was like, ‘Right, yeah. We’ll have it. We’ll get that, and we’ll just sort of make it work,’” he says. “It was our dream to go to an event like that.” And go they did, beginning a successful string of expo appearances that were initially in the UK, but rapidly branched out internationally until, eventually, they stopped going to expos and started hosting them. “I literally think, ‘Let’s make the product that I love,’ and by default, I think other people would love, and let’s create the event that I would love to go to, and by default, I think that other people would really enjoy to go,” he says. He also says that when it comes to events, making a profit is not the immediate goal. Just like the early days spent working a screen printer in a garage, Francis’s motivation is simply a desire to create something awesome. Something he loves. “We just sort of think, ‘Right, what would we really, really love to go to? Let’s go make it happen. Let’s forget about the profit and loss at that point for that event. Let’s just go make something really, really cool.’” But rapidly gaining a dedicated following, especially when selling a physical product, has its challenges. Francis says that Gymshark’s biggest challenge at the moment is keeping up with demand, especially when YouTube influencers or expo attendees are hyping them. “We definitely made massive improvements in the last six to 12 months, but there’s still a long, long way to go,” he says. Part of the Gymshark’s effort to keep up with growth meant Francis himself coming to terms with his right role within the company. As CEO, he quickly came to realize that he was in a position that he was not suited to fill. “We were growing so fast, and the role of the CEO is very people oriented,” he says. “I’m very much an introverted person. I’m much more suited, and work better, in either a very small team or on my own where I can really dive into a project, focus on that thing and make it really special. “As we were growing bigger, it became more and more evident to me that the CEO really needs to be a lot more of a strategist and a lot more of a people person than what I am.” So Francis made the difficult decision that it would be best for him to step into the role of Chief Brand Officer instead. But the transfer of CEO power didn’t just happen overnight, which he feels helped build trust among himself and the staff. It happened over a period of about a year as Steve Hewitt, the current CEO, slowly took on more and more until he finally stepped fully into the role. Of course, passing leadership on to someone else is always a humbling and challenging process, but it’s one that Francis has come to embrace as an opportunity to become more fully himself. “I think it’s very important to be self-aware and to understand what you are good at what you’re not good at,” he says. “I’m a massive, massive believer of that.” Today, Francis has the freedom to focus on product and vision, gathering small teams together to pursue new designs and strategies for the future. So what’s next for Gymshark? Francis says that they are always pursuing innovation and are currently in the process of designing new fabrics, as well as looking to branch out of the strictly apparel space. And in an effort to keep avid followers and fans of the brand up to date, Francis has recently launched a vlog series of his own, giving a behind-the-scenes glimpse into Gymshark and into his world. In the 10 years since Francis started creating amateur websites from home, his world has utterly transformed. But many things remain the same: a love of fitness, a passion for social media, and an unbreakable bond with his high school friends turned business partners. The Gymshark brand invites each customer and avid follower to “Be a visionary.” And Francis is asking nothing of his followers that he hasn’t done himself. After all, where would Gymshark be without an enthusiastic pizza delivery boy who had the vision to buy a screen printer, and the boldness to show the world what he could create? Ben Francis’s Tips for Success Launching a brand new product on your own or starting your own business is never easy. No matter how large or small the venture, it requires vision, courage, and determination. But Ben Francis believes that there are three things any beginning entrepreneur can do to improve their chances of success. Surround Yourself With Support Francis says he was once asked to share a story about a time when he was told that he couldn’t do something. He paused to think, but his mind came up blank. “That never happened, because I never surrounded myself with those people,” he says. Starting a business is a challenge, but with the support of people who inspire and motivate you, Francis believes that mountains are reduced back into molehills. Embrace Self-Awareness Being honest with yourself and clear about who you truly are is one of Francis’s crucial steps to success. “Self-awareness is key,” he says. “I think it’s massive. You can only kid yourself for so long.” Without the ability to identify which skills you have in abundance and which you lack, you’ll be unable to build a team around you that complements your abilities and improves upon them. Play to Your Strengths Once you’ve identified your strengths and weaknesses, Francis insists on the importance of allowing them to guide your decisions. “Could I do an operational…role for a little bit? Absolutely. I’m reasonably intelligent. I could manage,” he says. “But would I be able to do it for a sustained period really, really well? Absolutely not.” Rather than forcing yourself to be something you’re not, Francis encourages all entrepreneurs to be honest about their strengths and find ways to play to them, even if that means relinquishing, as he did, the title of CEO. Key Takeaways How interests in building websites, going to the gym, and sewing and screen printing combined to help him launch a wildly successful business How connecting with YouTube influencers helped Gymshark take off On using events to build community The biggest challenge Gymshark faces right now Why Ben traded the role of CEO for Chief Brand Officer On separating personal brand from company brand Why Gymshark has never taken investments What he would do if he were to start a totally new ecommerce brand today What his personal life is like now that he’s a successful business owner What’s next for Gymshark
