Join us for this incredible story of Romain founding Uglow and Uglow Sports in 2011 in Hong Kong. He had a vision for starting a high end outdoor sports fashion brand that would become the first one to have 100% stitch free garments.
Romain shares authentically how he struggled through various crises, learned his business lessons and became wiser and more persistent over time. His insights are golden nuggets for any bidding and experienced entrepreneur. From how to deal with mental health to learning how to take a zen approach to building a business, Romain is growing personally and professionally.
Uglow is now reaping in its rewards for focusing on its stitch free technology. They entered into a collaboration with Deckers Group and Hoka to produce high end gear for this trail and ultra running behemoth.
In the news section, Markus, Ned and Romain discuss the latest Hardrock 100 race.
