In this episode, Sasha sits down with Adam Linforth, founder of the iconic Australian swimwear brand Budgie Smugglers, to break down his incredible 20-year entrepreneurial journey from a backyard idea to a multi-million dollar business.
Adam shares the raw truth about building a brand that breaks all the rules — from working 8 years with a full-time job before going full-time, to creating a company culture built on "vibe" and remarkable storytelling. This episode is packed with unconventional wisdom for ecommerce founders ready to think differently about brand building.
Key insights Adam reveals:
• How to build authentic partnerships with athletes and influencers through genuine relationships
• The power of choosing "characters" over captains for brand ambassadors
• Why focusing on your home market first beats trying to conquer the world
• Strategic ways to create remarkable, word-of-mouth worthy marketing
• How to survive and thrive through 8+ years of slow growth
• The importance of cash flow management and getting mentorship early
If you're building a brand that stands for something bigger than just profit, this conversation will reshape how you think about entrepreneurship, community building, and long-term success.
