            • #40. Georgia Grace Edwards: A Dorm Idea Turned Business, Crowdfunding and Capital, and Asking for Advice Versus Money

              Meet Georgia Grace Edwards, CEO & Co-Founder of SheFly Apparel.

              After a summer spent working as a glacier guide in Alaska, Georgia Grace experienced one too many frustrating bathroom breaks in pants that weren't designed for her anatomy.

              Along with the whole SheFly team, they’ve taken the company from a college project all the way to market, with appearances on the TEDxTalk stage, mentions by Forbes and Outside Business Journal, recognition as the recipient of the 2022 Outdoor Retailer Innovation Award, and funding from venture capital firms.

              PLUS, they were most recently featured as the 2023 Women's Health Fitness Awards Winner in the Best Outdoor And Sports Gear category for Best Hiking Pant (huge congrats!).

              Georgia Grace and her company are writing the blueprint for how things can be more inclusive, more sustainable, and more efficient -- instead of just questioning the status quo, they’re actively working to change it.

              Here’s just a few things we cover in this episode:

              • A Dorm Idea Turned Business
              • Crowdfunding and Raising Capital
              • Asking for Advice Versus Money
              • The Value of Transparency
              • Pursuing What Pisses You Off

              • Enjoy the episode!
