Elliot Dawes and Adam Rossiter are the co-founders of Bulk previously known as bulk powders. Bulk is an active nutrition company providing some of the best premium protein powders and shakes, vitamins and mineral supplements, post work out formulas, protein bars and so much more. Elliot and Adam met at university and like so many of us quickly got into fitness and more specifically the gym. But unlike so many of us, they saw an opportunity having started experimented with various protein supplements to start something themselves and took the leap of faith the create bulk in 2006. They borrowed money from their parents and invested what they could of their student loan, which accumulated to about £6,000. 15 years later, in 2021 bulk is forecast to reach £100 million in revenue. IBoth Adam and Elliot are fantastic guys, have achieved so much and really deserve all their success. I honestly came away from this conversation on such a high. We talk all about how they built their company from the student halls to the enterprise it is today. How they pitched Anthony Joshua as a brand ambassador, how they decided their roles would change after 15 years and who would become CEO and who would focus on growth strategy plus their biggest learning along the way and how teaching £100 million in revenue is just the beginning of the bulk journey. Today they are completely rebranding bulk powders as bulk and have made huge moves to drive sustainability, with 93% of their products now in compostable pouches which has reduced their single use plastics by more than 15m pieces. What I would ask you to consider as you listen to this is the following. What idea have you been sitting on? Have you had a niggling thought in the back of your mind to start something, create something or start working towards dream. It might not be as big as that. It could be something small but you’re still procrastinating. We have a tendency to wait until everything is just perfect before we act, but the truth is that perfect moment is likely never going to arrive. We will never have every boxed ticked and the great thing is You don’t have to. We don’t need everything perfectly aligned! In this episode the lads even talk about how at one time as an enterprise business they realised hadn’t actually addressed their culture! With that said, don’t wait for the perfect moment. Just do it. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- This episode is sponsored by Clean Co. The no / low alcohol company who do not compromise on taste!

After 5 years service he was recommended for SAS selection - the gruelling 6 month selection process finished with Ollie as one of only 5 from 250 to pass and be inducted into the special forces as part of the SBS, the special boat service. During his 6 years in the special forces he undertook countless high profile missions including hostage rescue, counter narcotics, counter terrorism, homeland security and counter insurgency. On leaving the SBS Ollie worked as private security both in Iraq and Southeast Asia. Ollie is arguably most recognised for his part os one of the founders of the incredibly popular TV show SAS.WDW - which documents recruits going through a simulated SAS selection. Ollie is the CEO of break point, an organisation for both public and corporate which focuses on shifting people’s limiting beliefs. He’s a speaker and a writer too. His books ‘Break point’ and 'Battle Ready' where both Sunday times best sellers - and he now has a new book ‘Scar tissue’, which unlike his others is a fiction which has just dropped. He also recently launched battle ready 360. A gym in a box that can be taken anywhere to train anytime. This conversation blew me away. We discuss Ollie career development and his desire to be himself and not conform and how that’s impacted him. We talk about his incredibly specific and powerful morning routine and what each practice does for him. He opens up about how last year a trip to Costa Rica which involved an psychedelic ceremony (ayahuasca) allowed him to finally get over the trauma he experienced as a 10 year old boy, when a 50kilo chimp attacked him, with Ollie narrowly missing death. This was a crazy story! Plus we talk how to use visualisation to achieve anything we want! We also go into what the ‘system’ is designed to push us into a life that lacks meaning. We essentially put the world to rights in this one! I’m so proud to share this one with you today.
