Sam Wood - Bachelor Star turned Entrepreneur, Scaling a $71 Million Business & More!

Sam Wood became a household name in Australia back in 2015 as a reality TV star on The Bachelor where he met and fell in love with Snezana. They are now married and have 4 kids (sort of like Australia’s Matilda and Art Green)

Since the Bachelor, Sam started up an online fitness business called “28 by Sam Wood” which he recently sold for 70 million dollars.

In this conversation we discuss the BTS of a reality TV show like the Bachelor

Sams back story, including his very ambitious business idea that failed and left him with a mountain of debt. And why he decided to have another crack at being an entrepreneur after being burnt so badly.

Thanks to my mates at Generate and Radix for sponsoring this episode.

I recently found out that around half a million Kiwis are missing out on the KiwiSaver Government contribution, which is an extra $521 each year. That’s extra money, that’s well worth getting if you can. That's where Generate comes in – they make this stuff easy. They have a team of advisers who can go over your options and help make sure you’re getting the most out of your kiwisaver investment. If you’ve never got KiwiSaver advice before, do your future self a favor and request a meeting with a Generate advisor:

A copy of their product disclosure statement is available on their website. The issuer of the scheme is Generate Investment Management Limited and of course past performance does not guarantee future returns.

Radix nutritional products are plain and simply world class. I start every day with a protein shake made with Radix powder. I throw in a banana, maybe some oats and yoghurt, and I’m ready to seize the day. This has been my routine for over 2 years now and I swear by it. If you want to look AND feel good- try Radix.

They also make a range of freeze-dried ready to eat breakfasts and meals which are nothing short of incredible. You just tear the bag open, pour some water in and eat. That’s it. They taste great, fill you up and most importantly, they are healthy.
