What does it actually take to grow a product business to eight figures? In this episode, Kareem Raslan, Co-Founder of BrainGain, shares how he built an adjustable dumbbell company into an eight-figure business in just five years. The secret? Focusing on supply chain optimization, conversion rates, profitability, and doing the hard things most founders avoid.

Listen in to learn how Kareem balanced building a business while working in banking, why making the first order profitable is critical, how to increase conversion rates, and how to expand into international markets like the UK and Europe. We also discuss finding your competitive advantage, choosing the right 3PL partner, using customer surveys to improve your business, and why focusing on the highest-impact activities is one of the most important skills a business owner can develop.
