As you might know, I\\u2019m the founder of a supplement company called Legion, and it has gone pretty well so far.

In just six years, Legion has grown into an Inc 5000 company with 8 figures in annual sales and close to 200,000 customers served and much more to come.

Thus, I\\u2019m often asked about how it all started, what the supplement industry is like \\u201con the inside,\\u201d and what advice I can share to others wanting to follow in my footsteps.

I was invited to go on another podcast\\u2014the Supplement Engineer Podcast\\u2014to discuss these things and more, and as I don\\u2019t talk much business here on the podcast, I thought you might find the discussion interesting.

And so I\\u2019m sharing the interview here.
