Raising $1 Billion for MEN'S HEALTH | EP001 - Movemeber

Welcome to Brandtrepreneur®, a platform that inspires the action needed to build a disruptive brand and impact the universe.


On episode 1 of THE GRIND, Phil & Matt grab a coffee with the man behind the moustache Justin Coghlan aka JC co-founder of Movember.


Along with his three friends, the Movember Foundation has scaled up from a pub in Melbourne, Australia to one of the biggest brands in the world raising a total of $1b for men's health. JC tells us about the moustache journey, from the impact of his first hire, having $2.2m stuck in the bank account and how facial hair helped men get more girls.


Let’s get into it.


Matt Thorne and Phil Kemish.

Key Actions and Learnings:

12:34 Get together with your mates and grow a moustache.

56:03 Teach yourself to focus most of your time on the three or four things that you love to do.

- ‘I’m not a fan of a social media like - I’m a fan of change!’

- ‘We play where men are.’ JC on Movember's marketing approach.
