If you’re a Founder and would like to come on the podcast then you can apply on the link here 👉 DodgeWoodall.com/guestPaul Richardson opens up about a journey defined by instinct, timing, and building one of the most iconic modern business success stories from the inside out. After meeting Gymshark founders Ben Francis and Lewis Morgan in a local gym, he stepped into a business that was already growing fast but lacked structure, systems, and experience. Acting as a “fixer,” he brought organisation, connections, and key people into the business - most notably CEO Steve Hewitt - helping transform Gymshark from a £4.5 million operation into a global powerhouse. What followed was explosive growth, fuelled by early social media, smart branding, and a young, hungry team riding a wave few truly understood at the time.But behind the billion-pound valuation was pressure, tough decisions, and real growing pains - from resolving founder conflicts and implementing structure, to scaling teams into the hundreds and navigating high-stakes investment deals. Paul reflects on the importance of timing, culture, and having the right people around you, as well as knowing when to step away. After exiting, he’s focused on building again - this time alongside his daughters - applying the same lessons in a more grounded way. It’s a rare insight into what it really takes to scale a business at speed, manage success, and stay in the game long enough to catch the wave.This is the eventful life of Paul Richardson.Got your Brevo assets ready, here's everything you need.Promo code: DODGE50This episode is sponsored by Brevo.

Paul Rooney and Grant Smith open up about a life built on risk, resilience, and relentless graft - from teenage beginnings in the underground music scene to becoming pioneers of the UK rave and events industry. Starting out young, they threw themselves into record production, launched their own label, and quickly learned hard lessons after being burned by shady distributors. As the rave scene exploded, they evolved with it - moving from pressing vinyl and selling records directly to shops, to promoting club nights, running record stores, and staging major events at iconic venues like Bagley’s, Brixton Academy, Alexandra Palace, and the Sanctuary.But behind the success was constant pressure - financial gambles, volatile crowds, industry setbacks, and moments where one bad call could wipe everything out. From building brands like Dreamscape and One Nation to navigating the shift from underground raves to large-scale festivals, they reflect on a journey shaped by reinvention, risk-taking, and a genuine love for bringing people together. Through it all, their long-standing partnership has remained at the heart of everything - built on trust, instinct, and decades of surviving the highs and lows of the events world side by side.This is the eventful life of Paul Rooney and Grant Smith.If you’re an Entrepreneur or Business Owner and would like to come on the podcast then you can apply on the link here 👉 DodgeWoodall.com/guestAll Enquiries - Hello@DodgeWoodall.comWebsite: DodgeWoodall.comYouTube: Dodge WoodallFacebook: Dodge WoodallInstagram: @Dodge.WoodallTikTok: @DodgeWoodallLinkedIn: Dodge Woodall Hosted on Acast.

Mark Epstein opens up about a life shaped by chaos, violence, and survival, growing up in the care system and navigating a childhood filled with instability, neglect, and trauma. From spending years in foster homes and boarding schools to being exposed to grooming and abuse at a young age, he reflects on how a lack of support and role models pushed him toward anger, street life, and crime. What followed was a life on the edge, involving gangs, drugs, prison, and working as an enforcer in London’s criminal underworld. But Epstein’s story is also one of transformation. After years immersed in crime and addiction, he channelled his aggression into professional cage fighting, building a reputation as a fearless competitor who would fight anyone.
