Welcome to today’s episode, where we’re thrilled to chat with an inspiring entrepreneur who turned his passion of Lego into a global success story - Kenny Lee, the founder of Light My Bricks.

Back in 2016, Kenny started his business with just $10k and a “why not” attitude. He was in his mid-30s, working a stable job, raising three kids, but instead of letting that stop him, he broadened his thinking and found a way to make his passion for LEGO something more.

Today, Light My Bricks is a world leader in LEGO lighting kits, with products sold across the US, Canada, Europe, Asia, and Australia. Kenny’s company has grown to a team of 30 LEGO enthusiasts and turned over an incredible $12 million last year. 

In this episode, Kenny shares how he transformed his mindset which is what struck a chord with me most. He shifted from linear thinking to creative problem-solving, and speaks on how that change was key to his success. He’ll talk about how he identified his passion, unlocked his beliefs, and built a thriving business around what he loves. Whether you’re a LEGO fan or not, Kenny’s journey is proof that it’s never too late to turn your passion into profit.

Get ready for a fun, insightful, and motivating conversation with Kenny Lee.

🎙️ Welcome to "Chew the Fat," where real business insights meet real-world success stories.

Today, we’re diving into the wild, bumpy, and brilliantly bold journey of Keira Rumble, CEO & founder of Krumbled Group.

Keira takes us back 10 years to when she was rolling protein balls in her Bondi apartment, with dreams much bigger than her kitchen. Keira is known for creating and scaling brands to make you feel & look good, and now has three large, well-known brands under her belt, Krumbled Foods, Habitual Beauty, Mini & Me. Once a side hustle, to now being in Coles and Priceline, worth millions.

The road wasn’t always smooth though - Keira faced massive setbacks, from rushing products to market and struggling with quality, to having her IP stolen by her manufacturer, costing her half a million dollars in a gruelling Supreme Court battle.

Through it all, Keira refused to stop. “I was sick and tired of making money for others, so I did it myself,” she tells us, sharing how she’s self-taught, fiercely resilient, and endlessly passionate about creating brands grounded in transparency and trust.
