564: From $0 to $100,000 a Day Selling Neckties | Fameez Haroon

In this episode, Fameez Haroon, co-founder of OTAA, shares how he and his brother bootstrapped a fashion accessories brand from a Melbourne bedroom to $40M+ in sales—without outside funding.

He shares: • How they built OTAA from $2,000 and zero fashion experience • The customer pain point that sparked the brand idea • Their scrappy PR hustle that led to a $4K launch and 400K+ customers • Why investing in branded content (even when everyone said not to) paid off • How they scaled their Facebook Ads to 6-figures/month profitably • The mental game of entrepreneurship—and learning to tolerate pain

If you’re struggling with traction, brand-building, or growing on a limited budget—this episode is a masterclass in creativity, resilience, and long-term thinking.
