Show Notes

Today is the Future with Livi Redden

The Girls Company was started by three female entrepreneurs that met by chance in their BYU entrepreneurship class. Their names are Abby Warner(23), Zoia Ali(21), and Taimi Kennerly(24). What started as a class project soon took off to become the creation of The Girls Company.  They have created a cramp alleviating band that can be worn during that lovely time of the month.. shark week aka your period. You insert specially made thin heating pouches into The Band, slip it on under your clothes, and Voila, your free to carry out your day. The Band and warmers are made especially thin so you can't see them at all under your clothes, which makes their product so unique. But the creation of this genius idea did not come easy. The Girls experienced roadblocks around period stigma when working to bring their product to market, as well as, being an all female-founded business in a male-dominated industry. They spent weeks researching, surveying, and planning to create the perfect product to help women everywhere.  **This session was recorded remotely

A little about each one of The Girls (from their website (thegirlsco.com)):

Abby Warner: "Abby is from Salt Lake City, Utah. She studies entrepreneurship, with a minor in international development at Brigham Young University. She loves the outdoors, the sun, and of course WOMEN. Abby has worn blue mascara every day since 7th grade. It’s a full look."

Zoia Ali: "Zoia grew up in Dallas, Texas and her parents are originally from Pakistan. She is passionate about social entrepreneurship, entrepreneurial innovation, and female empowerment. She loves to dance, is obsessed (OBSESSED) with Marvel movies, and loves to make people laugh."

Taimi Kennerly: "Taimi grew up in Auckland, New Zealand but moved to the US before she could get her big break in Lord of The Rings. She enjoys solving big problems, spreadsheets, local honey, and DATA. In her free time she bakes, obsesses over game theory, gets lost on the streets of South Africa (don’t tell her mom that last one), has existential crises, and sometimes even sleeps."
