I think you could probably go back and track the stages of grief, probably that is what I went through. But I think if you do it right, you end up at acceptance. And that's where I ended up. And that's not to say that I've fully accepted the idea that the golden toad is extinct. Personally, I do still hold out hope that it could still be out there in those forests." - Trevor Ritland This conversation is with Trevor Ritland, who—along with his twin brother Kyle—authored The Golden Toad . The book chronicles their remarkable journey into Costa Rica’s cloud forest, once home to hundreds of brilliant golden toads that would emerge for just a few weeks each year—until, one day, they vanished without a trace. What began as a search for a lost species soon became something much more profound: a confrontation with ecological grief, a meditation on hope, and a powerful call to protect the natural world while we still can.

45:41

In this episode, Nathan and Aaron take us inside the journey of Adanola, the quietly confident UK-based athleisure brand making serious waves after years of flying under the radar. It’s a tale that starts with failure: two brothers, Hyrum and Josh Cook, first launched Zeven Media, an ambitious photo booth startup that ultimately collapsed despite a high-profile run on the UK’s Dragons' Den. But instead of calling it quits, Hyrum dusted himself off, doubled down on a side passion project, and spent years in the trenches perfecting what would become Adanola’s signature product—its Ultimate Leggings. We’ll explore how Adanola went from nearly five years of flatlining sales to a multimillion-pound empire, thriving during the COVID-19 lockdowns through a mix of product obsession, carefully crafted influencer partnerships, and the discipline to scale slowly and profitably. The story is packed with lessons on bouncing back from failure, building a brand on your own terms, and knowing when to step aside to let your company reach the next level.…

The episode also covers the nuts and bolts of Gymshark’s supply chain, the role of influencer-driven marketing, navigating international expansion (including a $200 million market entry in the US before even having a local staff!), and what the future might hold as IPO rumors swirl.
