In this monologue, Rob Moore warns about the inherent volatility and danger of running a business, especially within the U.S. sports‑nutrition sector. He highlights how frequent lawsuits can drain resources and even bankrupt a company, regardless of merit.

The overall tone is reflective and cautionary, emphasizing the constant uncertainty entrepreneurs face.

Chapters

Businesses are risky. The world is so changeable, especially now. I know plenty of people who've built bigger businesses than Grenade who've got a lot less out of it, especially American sports nutrition companies, because only ever a lawsuit away from potentially losing your brand. And where you are trading in the US, you've always got 3 or 4 lawsuits on the go. And even ones where you're completely in the right, you can still lose, you know, you can still win and yet it bankrupts you. And so you're always worried about that. There's a lot of brands out there have got a lot of money as well who just sort of throw money at lawsuits and just kind of distract you and drain your time. It's unbelievably hard work. And you, like every business, you have these peaks and troughs where you just think, oh God, is it worth it? You never know what's around the corner. And some friends of mine, again, have built big businesses in the US, had offers to sell them of over a billion, turned it down, and subsequently got nothing.
