In the last 12 months, Omar went from launching his very first ad on October 28th, 2024…

to generating over £500,000 in revenue, all while raising two kids and building a life completely on his terms.

Now scaling his supplement brand Elixir, he sits down with me to break down the real story behind rapid growth, pressure, and staying grounded when your life changes fast.

In this episode we cover:

• How he went from total beginner to £500K/year inside 12 months
• What it’s really like building a business while being a father of 2
• How he’s now scaling his supplement brand Elixir using data, systems, and AI
• The mindset, pressure, and comparison that come with growing fast, and how he stays grounded.

Omar opens up on the discipline, vision, and internal pressure behind building both a family and a high-performing ecom machine, and why refusing to slow down has become one of his greatest strengths.

If you’re building your first store or pushing for your next level, this episode will land deep.

• How he built Spacegoods into the UK’s #1 mushroom-based coffee brand

• Lessons from raising millions in funding and managing investor pressure

• Why category timing and market tailwinds matter more than hustle
