In this episode of The Nomad Solopreneur Show, I sit down with Dan Demski, co-founder and CEO of Unbound Merino, a premium clothing brand.

Dan shares his journey from struggling with heavy travel packing to creating Unbound Merino, which offers versatile and sustainable garments from Merino wool.

Launched via a successful crowdfunding campaign, the brand now generates $40 million in global business.

Dan discusses the importance of having passionate co-founders, the benefits of remote work, and strategies for scaling a business without external capital.

He emphasizes the importance of making work fun and fulfilling and provides practical advice for aspiring entrepreneurs to test and launch new product ideas successfully.
