Jamie Oliver and Bear Grylls wore his helmets. But Rob Joseph still hasn’t had taxable income since JobKeeper. This is the reality of building a business from the ground up.

Rob is the founder of Anti-Ordinary, a revolutionary action sports helmet that fits and looks like a beanie. His mission? To create the safest helmet in the world — without sacrificing comfort or style. But that mission hasn’t come cheap. After an initial $200,000 investment, Rob found himself $1 million in debt. A competitor copied his patent. He spent four nights a week sleeping in the office only to wake up at 4:45 AM to do it all again. And through it all, he’s refusing to compromise on quality, replacing every unsatisfactory product at a loss.

In this episode of Chew The Fat, Rob and Frank dive into the brutal truth of building a protective gear business, why he never does outreach (yet still lands partnerships), and the moment he’ll finally feel like he’s “made it.”
