Joe Gray: Starting a Business While Playing Professional Rugby with MyoMaster Co-Founder

On Today’s Episode, I’m joined by Joe Gray, the co-founder of
MyoMaster as well as a rugby coach for London Scottish. 





Having retired from professional rugby in 2022, Gray is the only
player in history to have won every trophy available to players
in the top two tiers of English rugby, including both European
trophies. Throughout his illustrious career, he has represented
England and played for top clubs such as Harlequins, Northampton
Saints, and Saracens. 





In 2018, he founded the sports recovery business MyoMaster with
his wife Lottie. Earlier this year, they made a memorable
appearance on the British reality TV show Dragon’s Den, securing
an investment from former Manchester United and England
footballer Gary Neville and renowned British businesswoman Sara
Davies. 





Leveraging his extensive experience as a top-level athlete, Gray
developed MyoMaster's initial product, a massage gun, and has
continued to innovate, aiming to democratise access to
high-quality sports recovery products.
