One Dinner With David Beckham Changed Everything | Danny Yeung, Co-Founder of IM8

from Playbook HQ · host Alec Grawe

Danny's story is kind of insane when you hear the whole thing.He dropped out of high school at 15, was selling baseball cards at 12, working full-time in internet companies at 18, started a restaurant at 24, built an e-commerce business in Hong Kong that got acquired by Groupon, then launched a life sciences company that did $800 million in revenue during COVID and listed on NASDAQ.Then a friend invited him to dinner with David Beckham. He flew to London. And that conversation turned into IM8.We got into all of it. How they figured out that even Beckham — with all his doctors and nutritionists — was drowning in a dozen supplements a day and couldn't keep up while traveling. Why Danny ran clinical trials before he ever sold a single unit. What it actually means that Giannis, Sabalenka, Ollie Bearman, and now Inter Miami CF are all equity holders — not just endorsers. How IM8 went from zero to $100 million ARR in eleven months by running nearly 3,000 ads simultaneously and testing 600 to 800 new creatives every single week.And the Inter Miami deal — which took two years to close — because when Messi's taking your product, you don't rush the process.One of the most interesting builds I've heard in a while. Danny doesn't do anything small.⬇️ Episode Sponsors ⬇️amp | This smart fitness device is reinventing how we workout at home.
