Alpha Inbound Season 1 Episode 27

Steven's never had a job, not the kind most of us know anyway. Although the list of accomplishments to his name is quite astounding - from filmmaking to being a Masters All-American sprinter to a Professional stand-up comic, there's not much he hasn't done.

Back in 2013, another adventure began when he started running barefoot and realized that we've been going against human nature for the last century.

Together with his wife, Lena, they're changing the world one step at a time.

Topics covered:

  • The realization of running barefoot
  • How Steven met his wife
  • Why they started Xero Shoes
  • Behind the scenes of being on Shark Tank
  • Why he didn't take their investment
  • How Xero Shoes grew so rapidly
  • Strategic plays in the coming years
  • How big Steven thinks this market is
  • Why you need to know your numbers when marketing
