The Pocket is a podcast where we speak with guests from all over the world that have thrived in the areas of Business, Health & Mind.
Underneath anyone that has achieved greatness in life is a journey. Good days and bad, highs and lows, laughs and cries. Then all of a sudden, BOOM, they achieve this overnight success.
It’s quite special really, if only the journey got documented more... It’s like they have been spending all of this time building a beautiful jacket they call life. A jacket with so much depth and character, but all people see is some denim and stitches.
Let’s deep dive into the pockets of their jacket and find out what actually made it so special.

EP 10: The Man Behind Australia's Largest Mens Jewellery Brand | Matthew Banks, Merchants of the sun
Welcome to Episode 10 of The Pocket with Chris Griffin!
This week, we were thrilled to have Matthew Banks, the visionary founder of my favourite and also Australia's largest men's jewellery brand, Merchants of the Sun.
In this conversation, Matty takes us behind the scenes of Merchants of the Sun, sharing the brand's inception story, the challenges faced, and the pivotal moments that defined its path.
One of the most captivating stories Matty shared was about a bold decision made at the peak of the brand's success. Despite Merchants of the Sun doing an astounding $150,000 a month, Matty chose to close the store during the busiest times of the year. This wasn't a step back but a strategic pause to refocus and reimagine the brand's vision, setting a precedent in the industry about the importance of alignment with core values over immediate gains.
We also touched on the hard times, the doubts, and the resilience it takes to build a brand that stands out for its commitment to quality and sustainability. Matty's journey with Merchants of the Sun is not just a business success story; it's a testament to following one's passion and the courage to redefine success on one's own terms.
As a personal fan of their jewellery, I can't express enough how much I love Merchants of the Sun's creations. I wear their pieces every day, and their commitment to craftsmanship and sustainability is something I deeply respect and recommend to everyone.
