Sometimes a business idea starts with a simple thought: surely there’s a better way to do this.
For Donna, founder of Junie, it started with a problem she knew all too well — she dreaded everything that came after washing her long, thick hair. The heavy towel, the endless drying time and the frizz had her wondering whether there was a better way. So she started researching, and eventually turned that everyday frustration into the Junie Quick-Dry Hair Towel.
Join us for a conversation with Donna about turning a problem into a product, taking an idea from research to reality and building a brand around making an everyday experience better.
We’ll talk about the decisions, challenges and lessons along the way — from identifying a problem worth solving and understanding what customers need, to developing a physical product and growing a business around it.
It’s a chance to hear the real story behind Junie and get an honest look at what it takes to turn an idea into a business.
What you'll walk away with:
- Permission to start before you feel ready — you don't need to have everything figured out before taking the first step.
- A more realistic view of the business journey — including the mistakes, challenges and learning that happen along the way.
- Practical inspiration to back yourself — even when you don't have all the skills, knowledge or confidence yet.
- A reminder that you can learn as you go — and that not knowing something is a starting point, not a reason to stop.
- A fresh perspective on what's possible — and the confidence to take your own idea from “maybe one day” to your next step.
