In this German-language OMR podcast episode, host Philipp Westermeyer interviews Achraf Ait Bouzalim, founder of the streetwear label 6PM. The conversation covers Achraf’s personal support network and how friends act like an "army" during crises, his reflections on wealth, cars, and lifestyle choices, and the role of authenticity in his brand. He explains the organic growth of 6PM through Instagram, collaborations with rappers, and selective partnerships with athletes and influencers, while emphasizing that he only works with projects he genuinely likes. The interview delves into production logistics, packaging security, low return rates, and the decision to keep sales exclusive to the online shop, abandoning physical retail. Achraf discusses his modest team, reliance on investors for back‑office tasks, and his hands‑on involvement in creative and business decisions. He shares his personal style, love for fashion, and occasional forays into jewelry design with a Texas jeweler. Philanthropic actions, such as donating clothes to family, charities, and his Moroccan‑heritage community, are highlighted. Finally, Achraf outlines his ambitious expansion plans for the US and Asian markets, revenue aspirations, and the desire to build a larger company while staying true to his personal taste and community‑driven ethos.
