Episode highlights:

“We spent the pandemic refining what we were doing. We tried some trials in New Zealand, because that was a closed economy, where things were still working, which was useful because it helped us to think about internationalisation.” - Matthew de la Hey

“I was looking at the macro and the micro for the pet industry, and I was fascinated with how incredibly analog it still was. So to me, what I'm doing now is more or less a rinse and repeat in that I'm taking something that was very analog and bringing it online right now.” - Richard Nilsson

“Nobody wanted to talk to me - no big publisher gave me a shot. They were saying, ‘We already have wholesalers’. We were frustrated because we wanted to do the business, scaling it, but we couldn't. So we figured out, ‘Okay, we change the business model - Let's build a marketplace’.” - Bartosz Skwarczek

“It's not about the individual, it's about the access to exercise and their current relationship with exercise. Then another insight was that the things that make exercise fun are exactly the same things that make gaming fun.” - Cameron Brookhouse
