Nadya Okamoto has done more by 27 than most people do in a lifetime. With over 5 million followers, she’s gone from starting a nonprofit on period poverty, to running for office, to launching her own period brand. Along the way, she realized that creating change requires capital, and that brands often hold the power.
In this episode of Not My Business, Nadya shares the unfiltered reality of being a mission-driven founder: why she once made hundreds of TikToks a day to drive awareness, how she found investors and got her products into Whole Foods, and the conviction it takes to handle backlash and keep going. For any aspiring founder or creator, this episode is packed with lessons on building with conviction, creativity, and resilience.
