#8. In this episode, we are interviewing Natalie Holloway, the co-founder of Bala. Bala is a fitness company that is on a mission to empower everyone to move; through creativity and self-expression. Natalie and her fellow co-founder and eventual husband shipped the first 75,000 units of their now infamous Bala Bangles from their garage before appearing on Shark Tank, where they secured an investment from Mark Cuban and Maria Sharapova. Bala has since been featured in Forbes, The New York Times, Esquire and was dubbed one of "The 17 Items That Defined 2020" by Vogue. Prior to Bala, Natalie worked at best-in-class advertising agencies on marquee brands including Starbucks, Google, and Jeep. Natalie attended the Fashion Institute of Technology before graduating from The University of Texas at Austin. Stay tuned to the end of the episode for a special offer from Natalie! 

We hope you enjoy!
