Today I interview Claire Coder, good friend and fellow dropout from Ohio State. She has started multiple businesses, most recently Aunt Flow, a buy-one, give-one subscription model for tampons. At 19 years old, she raised over $40,000 with crowdfunding and business competitions, and her company will begin sales in January.
We dig into some interesting and raw topics about being a 19 year-old entrepreneur, struggling through the learning process, nude modeling for money, emotional breakdowns, and much more.
It was a really entertaining conversation–I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
About halfway through a siren goes off in the background. But hey, it gives the conversation some character, so try to enjoy it.
Topics we discuss:
Her company, Aunt Flow
Entrepreneurial beginnings at 16
School vs. the real world
The need for attention and being honest about it
Alternative education: Praxis
Learning through trial and error and dealing with pushback in entrepreneurship
Menstrual cycles
Claire misspelling tampons in a mass email
Mentioned, but not explained: Ready, Fire, Aim. This book is a game changer for entrepreneurs. Highly recommend reading, it will give you clarity and focus no matter what stage in business you’re at.
