Also, you can listen to it early and without ads by subscribing to Wondery Plus in Apple Podcasts or the Wonder app. So while our team works to add more content to the feed for all. All of our listeners, we thought we'd visit some favorite episodes from the archive. This week it's my conversation with Andy Dunn, the co founder of Bonobos. It first ran in January of twenty nineteen. It's a good one, and I hope you enjoy it. How were you able to kinda stay optimistic? I mean, were you just looking at projections and saying, This is gonna be fine.

Stay optimistic. What makes you think? That I was optimistic. I was I was defiant in the face of A terrifying reality. Companies don't die.

Because the companies fail, they die'cause the entrepreneur gives up. And that was the approach. Just keep the lights on. Keep growing. And that's what we did. Welcome to How I Built This, a show about innovators, entrepreneurs, idealists, and the stories behind the movements.

That is the first couple of minutes. The rest is 1 credit.
