Turning Your Passion Into a Business With Aimee Marks

Aimee Marks is a business powerhouse and a huge inspiration to us! She came up with the idea for TOM Organic at just 18 years old as part of a school project. While researching the feminine hygiene industry, she was shocked to learn about the pesticides and synthetic ingredients used in traditional tampons and pads. Finding an idea she really believed in, she was passionate about changing the industry from the ground up.

In this episode Aimee shares some of the biggest challenges in growing her business and learnings made along the way. Discover how she has dealt with setbacks, including having 30,000 tampons show up at her door unexpectedly! Aimee also has some great insights on how to listen to your body and self-regulate– including how taking the time to rest can actually make us more creative and do our best work. Plus find out how 20 minutes of meditation a day has changed her life! You won’t want to miss this one.
