07/1/2026 | 43 mins.

What we discuss with Stuart: + Olympic Trials mindset + 1000:1 preparation principle + Athlete to entrepreneur journey + Footwear innovation origins + Commercializing ideas vs inventing + Turning waste into resources + Sustainability beyond marketing + Building factories from scratch + Rejection, luck, and persistence + Seeing truth before trends Thank you, Stuart!
