Dorry Kordahi has built a career that spans fashion, merchandise, sport, and investment \u2014 but at the centre of it all is a relentless drive to build things that last. As the CEO of Swanky Socks and founder of DKM Blue, Dorry has turned ideas into multi-million-dollar ventures while staying true to his core values of integrity, innovation, and discipline. In our conversation, he talks about scaling a business from a $40,000 startup to a global brand, how sport shaped his leadership style, and why balance and perspective matter just as much as growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ve built and led companies across fashion, merchandise, and even professional sport. What does a typical day look like for you? How do you stay grounded through it all?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s no such thing as a \u201ctypical\u201d day for me and that\u2019s what I love about it. My days can shift from creative meetings developing collections, to commercial discussions, or catching up with the Como Sydney crew on the harbour. What keeps me grounded is routine and perspective. I start early, train most afternoons, and make time on weekends to reflect and reset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve learned that being present is key. No matter how many moving parts there are, I try to give my full attention to what\u2019s in front of me. Staying grounded also comes down to the people you surround yourself with and never losing sight of where you started. I remind myself often that we all began with nothing, and being grateful for that journey keeps life in perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Swanky Socks went from a $40,000 start-up to selling over three million pairs of socks. What were the key decisions or habits that helped you scale so quickly without losing focus?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It came down to three things: vision, discipline, and execution. From day one, I treated Swanky Socks <\/a>like a brand, not a product. We invested heavily in storytelling, in getting our foundation right, and defining what we stood for as a brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also built a strong model in custom socks at a time when the market was still new, leveraging our retail brand value and selling the story behind it. The lesson was simple: scale only works when the foundation is strong. Growth without structure just burns momentum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Entrepreneurship can be relentless. How do you look after your wellbeing and energy, especially when you\u2019re juggling multiple ventures?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve learned to treat my health and mindset like another business; it needs consistent investment. Exercise, travel, and time on the water recharge me. When I travel, I love to walk for hours, it clears my mind and keeps me grounded. At home, I\u2019m big on reformer Pilates; it\u2019s become part of my balance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve also learned when to switch off. It took time, but balance is now non-negotiable. You can\u2019t lead others well if you\u2019re running on empty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ve spoken about integrity and innovation as core business values. How do those ideas manifest in your daily leadership style?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Integrity is the foundation of trust and trust is everything in business. I lead with transparency and accountability. If something doesn\u2019t align with our values, we don\u2019t do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Innovation, to me, is about never standing still. I encourage my teams to challenge how things have always been done. I also believe integrity is truly tested in tough situations, how you handle mistakes or setbacks says everything. You earn more trust with customers by being upfront and honest. That mix of honesty and curiosity drives everything we build.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ve worked in very different environments \u2014 from basketball teams to boardrooms. What lessons from sport have shaped how you approach business and teamwork?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sport taught me resilience and unity. You can\u2019t win alone, no matter how talented you are. Culture wins championships, just like it builds great companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having played Basketball myself, I\u2019ve drawn heavily on those experiences. Teams are built on leaders and role players, and that structure mirrors business. I had no degree, so I relied on my sporting background to shape my business mindset and visualisation. In my book, Win Big, Risk Small<\/em>, I dedicate a chapter to this, because I genuinely believe that team sport and business are deeply connected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Being around professional teams and sports administration in my older years, showed me that success is built on preparation, accountability, and chemistry. In business, I\u2019ve brought that same mindset, creating environments where people want to perform, grow, and win together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For people chasing growth or thinking about their next move, what\u2019s one piece of advice you\u2019d give about balancing ambition with sustainability?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t rush the journey. Ambition is powerful, but without patience, it can destroy you. Build businesses and lives that last. Be intentional with your time, values and relationships. The goal isn\u2019t just to grow fast, it\u2019s to grow well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For me, sustainability is about legacy creating something that outlives the hustle. As the old saying goes, profit is sanity and turnover is vanity<\/em> and I know which one I\u2019d choose.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
