How Ben Francis went from being a pizza delivery boy to Britain’s youngest billionaire by founding sportswear brand Gymshark. BBC business editor Simon Jacks and journalist Xing Tszeng trace the remarkable rise of Ben Francis: from sewing gym vests in his parents’ garage to innovating influencer culture. At Gymshark, Ben Francis created one of the fastest-growing fitness brands in the world, with ambitions to rival athleisurewear giants like Nike and Adidas. The Good Bad Billionaire is a podcast that explores the lives of the super-rich and famous, tracking their wealth, philanthropy, business ethics and success. There are leaders who made their money in Silicon Valley, Wall Street and high street fashion. From iconic celebrities and CEOs to technology giants, the podcast uncovers stories of luck, power, economics, ambition and moral responsibility. Simon and Xing test their subjects with a playful, totally unscientific scorecard — then turn the verdict over to you: Are they good, bad, or just a billionaire?
