How Nate Checketts built Rhone during his commute to work
What you’ll learn from this interview:
- How Nate used a 2 hour commute to his job at the NFL to build Rhone apparel on the side
- How he launched his business and generated $80k sales in the first 2 months without spending any money on advertising
- Why raising money can be a massive distraction for founders, and how he thinks about taking on investors after raising over $20 Million for Rhone
Plus heaps more!
My guest today is Nate Checketts, he’s the co founder and CEO of Rhone apparel.
Nate was feeling unfulfilled in his career and saw a gap in the premium men’s activewear market, so he used his 2 hour daily work commute to start Rhone on the side.
Fast forward to today and Rhone has raised over $20 million in funding and can be found in retail stores around the world.
I wanted to bring Nate on the show to find out how he built up Rhone while juggling a full time job and family, what he’s learned from this journey so far, and what’s next for him.
