#456 – Built for the Female Body: Two Entrepreneurs Disrupt the Athleticwear Industry
Join us as we sit down with two extraordinary entrepreneurs, Alayne and Angie, who are on the verge of launching an innovative product that merges functionality with empowerment in customized clothing. Alayne shares her remarkable journey from being a ballroom dancer to overcoming severe scoliosis, defying medical odds, and returning triumphantly to the dance floor. Angie’s story is equally inspiring, as she talks about founding Pulse Body, a company aimed at providing practical period solutions for young dancers, inspired by her own daughter’s experiences. Together, they are addressing a significant gap in the market, and their passion for empowering women is palpable throughout their journey.
Our conversation also explores the strategic aspects of building a new brand in the e-commerce space, focusing on the integration of period liners into athletic clothing. We discuss the intricacies of patent and manufacturing logistics, including collaborations with overseas manufacturers and navigating patent protections. Alayne and Angie share their multi-faceted approach to brand growth, which includes direct-to-consumer sales, licensing to educational institutions, and retail expansion. Their dedication to creating a female-friendly brand that empowers athletes is evident, and their plans for future growth include moving some production to the US and securing exclusive patents.
We wrap up with insights into their grassroots marketing strategies, highlighting the power of community-driven efforts and the importance of building a supportive network for new entrepreneurs. The episode covers creative approaches to social media marketing, the impact of relatable content, and the value of engaging smaller influencers to reach niche communities. Through early user feedback and innovative storytelling, Alayne and Angie are committed to refining their product and messaging, all while building a movement around women’s empowerment. Their story is a testament to resilience, creativity, and the entrepreneurial spirit, offering inspiration and valuable lessons for aspiring e-commerce business owners.
