583 Build a Billion Dollar Brand with Revolve Co-Founder Michael Mente

"IT’S ALL ABOUT SHOWING PEOPLE A GENUINELY GOOD TIME."
Being an entrepreneur is one of the most difficult tasks you can take on. In fact, some people find it soul crushing if not done right. When done properly, though, it can be the greatest thing you can do in your life.
Starting as an entrepreneur means knowing what you really want to do, what your passion is and how to deliver that to consumers. It’s not about pushing it on them but listening to them and seeing how you can serve them.
Most entrepreneurs stop as soon as they hit success and sell off their company, but not all of them. On this episode, we are joined by Michael Mente, who has been successful since 2003 when he helped create the incredibly popular clothing company: REVOLVE.
“All we are doing is listening to the consumer and giving them what they want.”
Michael Mente dropped out of an Entrepreneur program at the University of Southern California to become an entrepreneur by profession. He’s Currently the CEO and Co-Founder of Revolve and is set to bring in $400 million in sales this year. His company is considered the one-stop shop for clothing items designed by some of the hottest emerging designers.
Over the years, Michael began developing organic relationships with bloggers to represent the brand on a more realistic level. To do so, Revolve regularly holds trips for influencers to gather, relax, and recreate the lifestyle of an ideal Revolve customer.
Michael saw a gap between affordable and high end items, which provided grounds for him to create an online shopping experience that falls in the middle. Supporting up-and-coming designers and digital influencers has become the core of Revolve’s growth and they decided to expand their digital offerings by launching a sister company, FORWARD, in 2008. Since then FORWARD has grown to become a powerhouse in fashion and has become the go-to place for premier luxury fashion.
I loved Michael's humble wisdom about what it has taken to create this kind of success in such a competitive industry.
Discover all of that and much more, on Episode 583.

He explains how trauma stored in your body blocks abundance, why forgiveness is the first step to clearing energetic space, and how NASA-level science proves we're living in a fractal holographic universe where your words and emotions literally reshape reality.

#1 Neuroscientist: How To Manifest Love & Abundance in Your Life!

Dr. Tara Swart walked into her first interview with Lewis three years ago barely holding it together. Ten months after losing her husband to illness, she was drowning in grief she refused to suppress. Now, she's back with a revelation that bridges hard science and ancient wisdom: our lost loved ones, our ancestors, and the universe itself are constantly communicating with us through signs. From infinity symbols appearing in impossible places to bumping into the exact actress her late father "approved" her to meet, Tara has documented thousands of stories proving we're more connected than we've been taught to believe. This conversation strips away the spiritual fluff and gets to the neuroscience of intuition. She dives into why we have 34 senses we never learned about, how trauma lives in our tissues, and what happens when we finally stop ignoring what our bodies have been screaming at us all along.Dr. Tara’s books:The Signs: The New Science of How to Trust Your InstinctsThe Source: A Transformative Guide to Unlocking Your Mind, Harnessing Neuroplasticity, and Manifesting Success Through the Power of the Law of AttractionDr.Tara’s podcast Reinvent Yourself with Dr. TaraIn this episode you will:Discover why suppressing grief is the most dangerous thing you can do—and the one practice that allows you to heal from the bottom up instead of covering pain with productivityTransform your relationship with intuition by understanding the 34 senses you never knew you had (including why your immune system counts as one)Break through skepticism about signs from lost loved ones with a simple experiment anyone can try—even if you think it's "woo woo"Access hidden wisdom trapped in your body through movement, sound, and nature rather than just talking or journaling your way through traumaRewire your brain for possibility by cultivating the art of noticing—starting with beauty and ending with unmistakable synchronicities that stop you in your tracksFor more information go to https://lewishowes.com/1833For more Greatness text PODCAST to +1 (614) 350-3960More SOG episodes we think you’ll love:Liz Gilbert – greatness.lnk.to/1681SCDr. Andrew Huberman  – greatness.lnk.to/1830SCSadhguru – greatness.lnk.to/1800SC Get more from Lewis!

6 Morning Habits That Manifested So Much Money It Felt ILLEGAL [Lewis Howes SOLO]
