Roots to Routes with Anand Dattani

Empowering Immunity: Unveiling the Visionary Story of Fighter Shots’ Fearless Founder

Anna Szymanowska is a founder and CEO who disrupted the herbal supplement industry with Fighter Shots - daily energy shots, with her range including ginger, matcha+ guarana, or charcoal drinks. Anna holds an MBA from London Business School (LBS); her work at Airbus, Microsoft and as a management consultant fostered strong product development and sales skills.The COVID pandemic rippled throughout the entire planet, and much of the fallout meant organisations had been forced to take unprecented measures to avoid permanently going out of business. Figther Shots, however, faced challenges that would have made other businesses jealous. These products were rising in popularity throughout lockdown, helped by people turning to healthy, immunity boosting foods and supplements.Anna truly resembles someone who wasn't afriad of change. Anna speaks candidly of having just about enough money to live in London and pay for her MBE, and while this is still a position she felt priveleged to be in, she knew she wanted to be able to afford to rent a flat on her own. Which is something she wasn't able to do off her salary while also paying for the MBE.Watch the full episode on YouTube.
