Welcome to Brand Rescue Mission, a new series by Ben Leonard, where he takes you behind the scenes of buying back his once-thriving ecommerce brand, Beast Gear, after it was mishandled by a private buyer. Now it’s broken... and Ben’s rebuilding it brick by brick. This is raw. It’s real. And it’s full of lessons for brand builders, entrepreneurs, and anyone who's ever cared deeply about the business they created.

    The Instagram Funnel That Built An Epic Brand

    A single product insert can transform Amazon customers into loyal Instagram superfans, generating thousands of 5-star reviews, boosting rankings, and driving sales straight to your own website. When the private equity buyers who wrecked Beast Gear killed this strategy, they stripped away one of the brand’s most powerful growth engines — and now we’re bringing it back. In this episode, I reveal the exact system that turned Beast Gear from “just another seller” into a real brand, built a community that bought again and again, and outlived every algorithm. This isn’t theory — it’s the playbook that delivers reviews, repeat sales, and a competitive edge Amazon alone can’t give you. Full video version here: https://youtu.be/ikC_hQZZtig

    From Wreckage to Rebuild: The Beast Gear Comeback Begins

    When we bought Beast Gear back, it felt like stepping into a business crime scene — $800,000 in dead stock, five years of silence on social media, an erased email list, and a deleted website. Revenue had collapsed by 89%. But this isn’t just a comeback story; it’s a rebuild with purpose. In this episode, I reveal the brutal cash flow realities we faced, the Amazon-first strategy that’s stabilizing sales, the simple wins already driving big results, and the roadmap to resurrect the brand’s funnel. If you’ve ever had to rebuild something you love from the ground up, this is your blueprint.

    This Is How You Ruin A Great Ecommerce Brand

    Selling Beast Gear should have been a win, but instead, I watched it become a case study in how good brands get wrecked. The new owners ignored the customers, lost touch with what made the brand special, and chased shortcuts. I share what I saw go wrong, how easily a strong brand can unravel, and what founders need to understand before letting go. If you want to protect what you’ve built, learn from my hard-won experience so you don’t repeat these mistakes.

    How I Built a $6M Brand in 3 Years with Zero Business Experience

    When I started Beast Gear, I was just a regular guy with no business background. I figured things out as I went, focusing on building a brand people cared about, putting the customer first, and getting creative with marketing. Three years later, Beast Gear was bringing in over $6 million in sales. In this episode, I lay out the practical steps that got me there, the setbacks I faced, and the strategies that actually moved the needle. Whether you’re starting out or scaling up, these are real lessons you can use right away.

    An Amazon Aggregator Destroyed My Brand – Now I’m Rebuilding It

    After selling Beast Gear, I thought I’d finished my story as a founder. What happened next was a lesson in what can go wrong after an exit. The aggregator who took over nearly ran the brand into the ground. I had to step back in, roll up my sleeves, and fight to rescue the business I’d poured my life into. In this episode, I tell the truth about what it’s really like to sell your brand, how it can go off the rails, and what I did to put things right. If you’re serious about building and protecting your brand, you need to hear what happens behind the scenes.
