The Pocket with Chris Griffin Chris Griffin

Welcome to Episode 14 of The Pocket with Chris Griffin! 
Today's guest, Louis Phillips, takes us through the highs and lows of his evolving career. Once a pioneering fitness creator in Australia, Louis faced a pivotal moment when a public fallout with his best friend and business partner turned his world around, sparking intense online drama.
In this episode, Louis opens up about navigating the backlash at the time, a challenge that tested his resilience. Despite these hardships, Louis reinvented his content focus towards running, which catalysed his popularity, skyrocketing him to over 200,000 followers in a few months!
Louis also shares his unique experience on the reality TV show "Big Brother," which aired during his rapid rise in popularity—a twist that unexpectedly led to him losing 50,000 followers. We delve into the complexities of managing public perception and the unpredictable nature of reality TV fame.
Beyond his social media and TV experiences, Louis discusses the challenges of launching and running his new tech venture, the running app INTVL. He also reflects on the insane impact having a girlfriend during all of these times has on him.
This episode was a goodie! Be sure to tune in and be sure to drop us a review if you make it to the end.

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.
