Jack Rubin's Subscription Behemoth Will Cross $70M While Growing 300%


Listen Later

I might be more bullish on Jack Rubin's Purdy & Figg than any other brand on which I've personally worked.

That's because not only does the UK-based natural cleaning product brand have the core financial markers of a successful subscription brand (ridiculous repeat rate, low churn, good margins), but it's co-founder and co-CEO, Jack Rubin, has all the markers of a successful ecommerce operator (smart, humble, relentlessly focused on the drivers of his shareholder value–especially contribution margin).

Even after working with Jack as a business coach for months, I was repeatedly knocked back by his insights.

Frankly, this is one of the most insight-loaded episodes I've ever released. Soak it up.
