Jai Huta is in the business of supplying high quality sports kit at affordable prices. His business Game Changer is doing exactly that, particularly when it comes to kitting out teams, clubs and schools that don’t have privileged backgrounds.
Game Changer is at the intersection of sport and social enterprise. In this episode of the PowerUp Podcast, Jai talks about why it’s important to him, and how Game Changer grew from a hobby to a full time job.
He discusses how having good kit makes people feel, the reality of growing a challenger business in a competitive space, and why he likes the flexibility of self employment.
