Greg Taylor from Step One: Don't Suffer In Your Jocks | #235
Episode description
In this episode of Add To Cart, we are joined by Greg Taylor, who has made it his business to ensure that no man - or woman - has to suffer the discomfort of conventional underwear’s main drawbacks - chafing, riding up and…dare I say it out loud…sweaty bits. Greg is the Founder and CEO of Step One, a brand that has reached cult status making comfortable, functional and ethical jocks. The company, valued at 60 million has gone from zero to six per cent of the men’s underwear market since it launched in 2017 and has recently expanded to make a range for women. In this chat, Greg shares the problem that led him on a journey into underpant design, the tricks he’s learned for making sure manufacturing is truly ethical and why he’s pretty happy he didn’t end up with free underwear for life.
