What does it really take to turn an idea into a physical product—and scale it into a nationally recognized brand?

In this episode, I sit down with Erica Cole, founder of No Limbits, an adaptive fashion company that started as a personal solution and evolved into a growing brand featured on Shark Tank. Erica shares the full journey—from sewing her own clothes after an accident, to validating the idea through Kickstarter, to securing a deal on national TV, and ultimately acquiring another company as a solo founder.

We talk about:

  • How to test a product idea before spending thousands
  • What makes a successful Kickstarter campaign (and what people get wrong)
  • The surprising truth about being a solo founder
  • What really happens after Shark Tank
  • How she pulled off a company acquisition early in the journey

Whether you’re thinking of launching a physical product, starting a fashion brand, or just want the real story behind startup life—this one’s packed with insights you won’t hear anywhere else.
