She THINX, Therefore She Is: Social Entrepreneur and Creative Hustler Miki Agrawal (S2:E5) #bizoba

Business of Being Awesome

At 22, Miki Agrawal decided to stop putting her biggest dreams on hold. Within four years, she went after all three of them, playing soccer for the New York Magic, filming commercials for the likes of Justin Timberlake and Victoria’s Secret, and opening a chain of locally-sourced, organic, wholesome pizza restaurants in New York City. She didn’t stop there: soon after, she published a bestselling book and co-founded THINX, a company tackling period leaks in America while empowering women in the developing world through tech-infused underwear. In #bizoba episode 5, we talk to Miki about her incredible story and her newest ventures toward tackling the 3P’s of civilized society--poop, pee, and periods--and turning them from taboo into talked-about topics. After listening to Miki, we think you’ll agree: her most awesome work is only just beginning and nothing can stop her except her own imagination. The same goes for you, too, #bizoba ballers. #bizobabullets of wisdom from this episode: • Doing cool stuff requires doing. Not just talking about doing • Be sure to surround yourself with people that support you in reaching your wildest dreams--they’ll keep you grounded and sane along the way • When starting a business, it’s cool to build something to help yourself--but it’s really awesome to build is something that also helps others. That’s where you can change the world. For more on Miki, check out her website www.mikiagrawal.com and book “Do Cool Sh*t”.
