This week on the pod: the woman who re-engineered the tampon for the first time in ~100 years.
Amanda went from 9x national champion in surf lifesaving → Stanford product design engineer → co-founder & CMO of Sequel, the first spiral tampon (now in locker rooms and stadiums from the Indiana Fever to Audi Field).
We get into fundraising as a woman pitching a product most men won’t talk about, why she treats periods like game-day equipment, and why choosing to design a period product with athletes in mind was not “too niche” the way she was initially told.
Amanda is a delight, and her episode out NOW 🎧 Comment TAMPON and I’ll send it straight to your DMs.
