In today’s episode, host Lindsay Pinchuk sits down with special guest Hindi Zeidman, Founder of The Ollie World for an inspirational conversation about the importance of knowing and living by your why.

When Hindi first began fostering her first child Ollie, she was tirelessly searching for the right swaddle to soothe her baby’s needs. After realizing the perfect swaddle was yet to be on the market, Hindi knew that this was her opportunity to make a difference in the lives of babies all over the world. While Hindi was initially turned down at every retail store she approached, she never gave up on her dream. While the last seven years have been a lot of work, The Ollie World has recently earned a spot on the shelves of Target and has developed a cult following as Hindi simply showed up and shared on Instagram.

Tune into this week’s episode of Dear FoundHer… to learn more about the importance of believing in your dream, having a solid team, and understanding your why so you can successfully turn your dreams into a reality.
