John Roman: The Content King

In this adrenaline-pumping episode of Gathering The Kings Podcast, Chaz Wolfe interviews the fearless CEO of BattlBox, John Roman. From his early days as a professional poker player to climbing the corporate ladder in sales, John's relentless ambition led him to invest in BattlBox – a survival monthly subscription box and much more. His dedication to the company transformed a side gig into a full-time pursuit, skyrocketing BattlBox to multi-million-dollar success, all while embracing the power of content and community building.Throughout the conversation, John shares vulnerable insights into his journey, including the importance of creating quality content to intentionally grow a business and the value of fostering strong relationships with consumers. He candidly discusses the need for patience in the face of failure and the dangers of dependency on a single vendor or customer source. With BattlBox's thriving online community and their Netflix debut in Southern Survival, John's innovative approach to business has led to the company's recent acquisition by a Canadian "spack," making BattlBox a publicly traded powerhouse.
