EPISODE 67
Anthony Ng Monica built and exited a global retail-tech company operating in forty countries, and in this episode he tells Kevin and Jason what that decade cost him and what he learned fixing it. He walks through the scrappy tactics that won his first enterprise clients with no network or funding, including a baby-sized football shirt that got him a meeting with John Lewis, then opens up about the breaking point: letting go of three co-founders, firing twenty people, and relocating countries in twenty-four hours, followed by nine months of seven-day weeks that ended with an empty barbell giving him an instant headache and an MRI that came back clean. From there the conversation becomes a practical playbook for founders who treat health as an afterthought, covering why he calls health rent rather than equity, why fitness was a genuine competitive advantage when only his fittest employees were left standing after thirty-six-hour Black Friday shifts, why you should buy a great bed before another tracker, and his gearing system for staying consistent instead of chasing the perfect plan and repeatedly falling back to Plan F.
