Martina Brimmer founded Swift Industries 17 years ago in the basement of a punk house.

After the softening of the cycling industry post-pandemic, Martina had to make some big decisions for the survival of the business, and this incredibly transparent conversation is an honest recountain of the lessons learned and insights gained.
