Ministry of Supply - Aman Advani
b'
Today\\u2019s guest is Aman Advani, co-founder of Ministry of Supply. If you\\u2019ve ever worn a traditional suit, you\\u2019ve experienced the problem that Aman and his co-founder Gihan wanted to solve: they\\u2019re stiff, uncomfortable, and they let the entire world know just how much you sweat. At first, they stitched fabric from their favorite athletic brands into acceptable office wear before developing their own blends. And just to prove how versatile their suit is, co-founder Gihan ran a half marathon while wearing it and was rewarded with the most literal interpretation of proof of concept and a Guinness World Record.
Listen in as we cover everything from why there\\u2019s still a ton of great opportunity in retail, why word of mouth was crucial to their company\\u2019s growth, and why the inspiration for the company name came from none other than James Bond himself.
