Jhalesa Seymour started with $67, no entrepreneurial background, and a problem most people were too uncomfortable to talk about.

From a college dorm, she began making feminine hygiene products by hand and giving samples to friends. Within months, customers were fighting online for inventory and 18,000 people were hitting her website at once.

She became a millionaire at 25.

But explosive growth came with brutal lessons. At one point, 20,000 customer orders disappeared after shipment, forcing Jhalesa to drain her reserves, remake every product, and fight to keep the company alive.

She survived it, scaled beyond $20 million a year, and eventually generated $1 million in just 30 minutes.

In this episode, Jhalesa breaks down the mentality, marketing, money management, faith, hiring, and relentless resourcefulness behind building an eight-figure brand without a mentor or traditional business background.

She thought she was selling soap. What she actually built was confidence, community, and a company she believes can become a global billion-dollar brand.
