It didn’t all change in March 2020. Not really. The UK high street has been in the throes of a gradual revolution for decades. From the rise of ecommerce, to the birth of mobile, social commerce, and a growing emphasis on experience, change has been underway for a while. In fact for many, the pandemic has acted as a wake-up call. Digital transformation was no longer a ‘nice to have’ but a matter of survival. Necessity sparked innovation and customers are enjoying more flexibility and conveni ...

This season of Land of the Giants – The Disney Dilemma – focuses on Disney’s ability to weather the ups and downs of the business cycle and changing tastes and explores what has kept it successful for over 100 years. The entertainment giant has leveraged nostalgia and its intellectual property to build a beloved brand, but after an acquisition spree that included Marvel, Lucasfilm, and 20th Century Fox, can it sus ...

Obvi’s Ron Shah on Fails, Exits & Lessons Learned
Manage episode 468388789 series 2946303

"You start with ‘there’s no way this is me.’ Then you question everything. Then, eventually, you realize—this really could be me."
Ron Shah built Obvi into a $100M+ powerhouse, with $40M in top-line revenue in 2024. But not every business he touched turned to gold. Today, Ron gets brutally honest about two brands he started—Coffee Over Cardio and Paw Rangers—that didn’t go as planned.
This isn’t your typical success story. Ron shares:
- Why success in one business doesn’t guarantee success in another
- The emotional toll of failure and the ego traps that cost him money
- How to know when to walk away, pivot, or double down
- What he’d do differently if he launched these brands today
Most founders only share their wins. Ron is sharing his losses. And why, in hindsight, they might be even more valuable.
