How do you turn a cheeky side hustle into one of Australia’s most recognisable swimwear brands?

In this episode, Adam Linforth shares exactly how he did it. From starting in a “safe” career in banking to buying Budgy Smuggler on a whim, Adam turned a hyper-seasonal, zero-order product into a global brand worn by tradies, footy players, and surf lifesavers alike.

He dives into why he’d rather fail at something he loves than chase someone else’s idea of success, how keeping it simple and fun built a cult following, the lessons learned from copycats and legal drama, and why nailing your backyard before taking on the world is the best business advice he’s ever received.
