Today in the guest chair we have Chris-Tia Donaldson, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Thank God It\\u2019s Natural (tgin), a manufacturer of natural hair and skin care products.\\xa0

Prior to starting tgin, Chris-Tia, a two-time Harvard graduate, worked at a top law firm in Chicago.\\xa0 It was there she realized that she wasn\\u2019t receiving the support she needed to advance in her career. She wasn\\u2019t willing to play the game anymore, so she decided to get out and create her own game.\\xa0

Like many of us, Chris-Tia struggled with her hair while navigating the corporate world. There weren\\u2019t a lot of products for kinky, curly, and wavy hair, so she set out to create a product that made her feel confident about her curls.\\xa0

Tgin is currently sold at Walmart, Target, Whole Foods, Sally\\u2019s Beauty, Walgreens, and now Ulta.\\xa0

Chris-Tia is so transparent in this episode, especially when it comes to the money required to scale and maintain a business. I\\u2019m excited for you to hear!\\xa0\\xa0
