Episode 15: Kyle Bergman, Swoveralls

from THIS is a Thing · host Dana Mauriello

Kyle Bergman launched Swoveralls — sweatpant overalls — while getting his MBA, working full-time at Birchbox, teaching up to 8 fitness classes a week at Orange Theory, and training for triathlons. All at the same time.We talk about three decisions: the decision to start Swoveralls, the decision to quit his day job (his take is not what you're expecting), and the decision to sell.Along the way: how a full plate creates leverage instead of chaos, why he never paid himself from Swoveralls until the day it was acquired, what it actually feels like to bootstrap an e-commerce brand, and what he's building next after going viral at the Chicago Marathon finish line.
