Rob Gough: Serial Entrepreneur & Owner of DOPE
Rob Gough is a serial entrepreneur who has built and sold multiple technology companies and is now the sole owner of DOPE, a premium streetwear brand that he acquired in 2017.
During his freshman year of college, Rob was diagnosed with a rare form of bone cancer and was given a 30% chance of living. Since then, he’s launched and exited multiple startups, helped grow Finish Line’s online business massively, and built incredible relationships throughout the process.
In this episode, Pat & Posh hang with Rob to learn about his upbringing, where he got his entrepreneurial bug from, the various companies he’s founded, and what’s shaped his positive mindset throughout his life.
We also chat about what's to come for DOPE and what he envisions the future of the brand to look like. Tune in!
UPDATE: In January 2021, Rob completed the most expensive sports card transaction in history after purchasing the iconic 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle #311 in PSA 9 grade for $5.2 million!
