No outside funding. No celebrity co-signs. Just grit, discipline, and branding. Bear Handlon built Born Primitive from a single product into a 9-figure eCommerce brand.

Born Primitive started as a niche apparel side hustle — now it’s one of the fastest-growing DTC brands in the fitness space. In this episode, founder Bear Handlon shares how he scaled without a dime of VC money, built an operationally lean machine, and turned authenticity into his biggest marketing weapon.

Key Topics Covered:

The mindset shift from side hustle to full-time founder
Building a resilient supply chain as a bootstrapped brand

Branding lessons from a founder-led business
The role of military discipline in running a lean Shopify brand
