Heart of Dad - Season 5 Episode 1 - Ben Leonard

Best known as the founder of Beast Gear, Ben Leonard is the classic millennial entrepreneur. He built a business on a laptop, in a cupboard, in his spare time.

The difference? Ben grew an international 7-figure business and successfully exited after 3 years; the business holy grail.

Now Ben is doing it all over again, this time creating a brand of parent's accessories based off his own lived experience as a dad.

In this episode, we discuss:

• How he sees fatherhood as gratitude
• His journey in creating and then selling Beast Gear
• His origins as an ecologist
• The health scare that sparked the genesis of his business
• The primacy of brand positioning 
• Leveraging others' expertise
• The moment he knew it was going to work out well
• How he sold his business
• The creative spark that drives his endeavours
• His foray into products for parents
• How his relationship with his parents has impacted him
• The joy and downside of being all consumed by our business
• His long term vision for impact
