About this episode

Claudia Glass shares her journey of building SwiJin, a sportswear brand for women, and the challenges she faced as a woman entrepreneur.

What happens inside you when you build something from nothing, and it slowly starts to feel like it has a heartbeat of its own. Claudia Glass spent over twenty years as a high school English teacher. One day, driving home after class, a voice said her name. It said: it is now time. She did not have a business background. She did not know what a textile engineer was. She had never built a product in her life. She wrote an email to a Swiss Federal Materials Science Laboratory anyway. Three years later, she launched SwiJin, a high-performance sportswear brand built for women, by a woman, from a need she lived herself. In this episode we talk about what building something from nothing actually does to you. The brain science behind why founders love their startups the way a parent loves a newborn. The nos, the failures, the pressure, and the one reason she kept going. What she learned about women's bodies that most women were never told.

If you are building something, questioning something, or standing in front of a decision you have not made yet, this conversation is for you. Guest: Claudia Glass, founder of SwiJin Learn…
