I Made a Thing

Ageism

What impact does age have for small business owners and women in business?

Can you use your age as an advantage?

Should you keep your age a secret?

“I think you need to be prepared to leave situations and let go of clients who don't respect your age, your processes and your way of doing things.”

- Rachel Kurzyp

“I did have some concerns about people looking at that photo and saying ‘oh a young female she can’t know anything so I won’t work with her’ but that hasn’t been my experience because my ideal client isn't a d!ck. ”

- Sophia Colquhoun
