#36: Growing a Women’s Wellness Brand with Kate Morton of Funk It Wellness

When we think of founders who live, breathe, (and eat) their product every single day - Kate Morton is definitely right up there on that list. She's the founder of Funk It Wellness, a woman-owned menstrual health company based here in Austin, TX.

Kate went to school to become a registered dietitian, and never intended to be an entrepreneur let alone become a marketer for her own business. In this episode, Kate will be sharing wisdom about building her brand from the ground up, the struggles of marketing a menstrual wellness brand, and wearing (and looking good in) many hats along the way.
