3 men involved in building some of the UK's biggest companies dropping gems daily whether it be through this podcast, instagram stories or instagram Q+As as opposed to spamming us with youtube ads of your lambs while selling online courses. Big respect to you guys and thank you for this platform.
Thank you
Such valuable knowledge for free, can't thank you guys enough.
Thank you!
Here 3 years later and understanding the power of a beard
I bought a pair of represent distressed denim when I was in Uni 4 years ago, they still look brand new to this day! Insane quality!
Love the honesty, he fell out of love with what he was doing - truth - then getting back up and finding himself again
Appreciate George touching on the complacency of taking a break, listening to others. Also always felt like taking my foot off the gas and taking a break was never good for me & when I did I slipped out of having the love for it.
give this dudes something to drink mate, they give straight 1h 43 min full of knowledge
these brains needs energy
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, this podcast is going right to the top no doubt about it. Thank you for the invaluable knowledge and insight Reece & Lewis
GREAT episode! This podcast got me hooked!!!
A fantastic insight into two cutting edge UK Streetwear/fashion brands.
I've been fortunate to follow both for a number of years, and spent my money on both brands equally. It's great to see and hear George most importantly discuss and show how he has progressed as a businessman, and as an owner. Again, I've been very fortunate to met him on a number of occasions and help towards the exposure of the brand in the very early years. Respect where respect is due. Exiting times to come.
Really George, Mike & Reece are mine and my partners biggest inspirations. We learn everyday from Argentina from your path. Hope someday we get to scale our brand enough to have the pleasure to have a conversation with you.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and saying things as they are, and not as people wants to hear. Much love
Mate I’m hooked!! Binge watching these

Love the book recommendation Principles by Ray Dalio. Please talk more about your journeys at the very early stages and how you overcame challenges. Also, your thoughts on creating a business plan. Thanks for the great podcasts, no one else in fashion e-commerce I know of is doing one - invaluable 🙏

Thanks Callum
Great podcast (goes without saying) but the audio is quite poor boys.
Love this. Like getting a girlfriend “Sod that!” Lol. Would love episode on what happened with Gymshark? Are you and CO founder still mates ect
The twos hosts look like the two people off the ibiza weekender haha
When Represent started there jeans and they became popular they had 0 customer service and any issues with wrong item or size were nearly impossible to get resolved at the time it was a thing and people really slated them on social media. It put a lot of people off from re ordering just hope they have fixed up now :)
ordered from they 3 months ago. got a really good service with regard to exchanging items
Lars Hü ah that’s good to hear sounds like they’ve sorted issues out then :)
🔥🔥🔥🔥
🙏
Great stuff, audio needs improvement though
Agree, We had some issues here!
1:29:14
mods, casuals, teddy boys, punk...... now snide streetwear.
Lewis and george interaction is kinda awkward compared to the Reece's
Doesn't admit that Always Fresh Apparel made represent
What do you mean?
What a load of bull , total switch off , load of exaggerated language , crap watch, and I run a business , I learned nothing and won’t buy finished crap
Old guy arguing with the cloud. This is not for your generation boomer.
