Heidi Zak, co-founder and CEO of ThirdLove, joins me this week to share her inspiring story. Heidi shares her inspiring story of starting ThirdLove after a frustrating bra shopping experience left her wanting more options that were comfortable, inclusive, and empowering for women.
She discusses the challenges of launching ThirdLove as one of the first direct-to-consumer brands and pitching mostly male venture capitalists on the idea of selling bras online. Heidi also talks about her commitment to philanthropy through ThirdLove, having donated over $50 million worth of products to women in need. She provides advice for women looking to start their own businesses, emphasizing that you don't need to create a billion-dollar company to make an impact. Heidi's story demonstrates how small, brave steps can lead to positive disruption in traditionally male-dominated industries.
