  • Getting My Designs in Free People: The Success Story of a Student-Made UNC Alum, Feat. Delilah Eby

    🎙️ Episode Description: 

    Today we have a bit of a bonus episode, outside the norm of our usual episodes we share with you every week. We have a Student-Made ALUM, Delilah Eby, a graduate of UNC Chapel Hill! Delilah joined Student-Made in her later years of college, back around 2022, and took away some very valuable experiences that have helped her go on and do amazing things with her creative business, Delilah Designs. A couple notable successes? One of her designs recently landed her a deal with the retail brand, Free People. And, she appeared just a couple weeks back in Teen Vogue– SO cool to see all that she’s doing just a few years after graduating.

  • 5 Marketing Tips for Creative Small Businesses, Feat. Our Co-Founder, Lindsay

    🎙️ Episode Description: 

    This episode will be about marketing tips for early stage businesses– and a BIG one is that– in any product or service you’re offering, you should be picturing who your desired customer or user is, and what value are supposed to be getting from it. So, practicing what we preach– I want to give a little overview about who might be interested in listening to this episode today and why. Our cofounder Lindsay along with the rest of our team has been running our student program on numerous college campuses– we’re now up to 15 with more on the way soon. And over the last four years or so we have seen hundreds perhaps even close to 1000 student businesses come through our program with so so so many amazing talents and business ideas. The purpose of this episode is distilling out some main takeaways we’ve seen from these student run businesses, to help other college students– or really anybody thinking of taking the leap to put something of yours out there. If you are listening to this on a College campus where student made is not present, then we would love to work with you to launch our program and help dozens of student creative student founders scale what they’ve started on campus

  • Chasing Dream Careers Through Student-Made: Feat. Four Amazing Student-Managers

    🎙️ Episode Description: 

    Hey, it’s Ryan here, a co-founder of SM and host of this show Student-Made Stories– welcome to the second episode of our Manager Spotlight series. We featured the former Michigan State campus manager, Linda Komis last week, who has now gone on to co-found her own company on MSU’s campus– And today we’re doing something a bit different– we’re highlighting 4 amazing managers, 2 of whom have been with SM for almost their entire college career, and they’ve got a LOT to show for that. Our program of course features hundreds of talented student founders growing their businesses on campus– but an equally important element of Student-Made is that it is all run by a team of student managers on every campus, working together in a startup-like environment to grow this movement on campus.

  • Our Co-Founder, Lindsay: Overcoming the Fear of Failure

    🎙️ Episode Description: 

    We are taught to be averse to failure our whole lives, but in this episode we hear from our co-founder Lindsay about the upsides to things not going quite as we planned. We hear why we might just need to cut this “f” word out of our vocabulary entirely– because when you really look at your journey in whatever it is you’re striving toward, is there really any such thing as failure as long as you keep moving forward? Maybe we can agree to just call failure an imaginary concept.
