Roman Khan isn’t just building brands—he’s building machines that generate real, distributable cash.

In this episode of the AJF Podcast, Roman reveals the systems behind Peak 21’s success, including the overlooked levers in supply chain that drive margins, profitability, and growth.

If you're a 7–9 figure founder struggling with inventory, margin compression, or scaling profitably—this conversation is a goldmine. Learn why your supplier might be your best financing partner, how a granular bill of materials changes everything, and how Roman’s team of 40 in Asia turns under-optimized brands into lean, cash-rich operations.

Topics include:

- Supply chain as a growth engine (not a bottleneck)

- Payment terms, BOMs, and price breaks that fund scale

- How Roman avoids debt while growing 50%+ YoY

- Why most DTC brands never reach escape velocity

- What it takes to actually exit a brandWhether you're looking to scale profitably or exit smart, this episode will shift how you think about operations.
