This 22-Year-Old CEO Is A Powerhouse, WOW! (With Nadya Okamoto)

Prepare to challenge your disbelief because this episode’s guest is an absolute powerhouse. Joining Brendan Meyers on the hot seat is Nadya Okamoto, the 22-year-old CEO of the lifestyle period brand, August. Fueled by a passion for eradicating period poverty among the homeless, Nadya started her first nonprofit when she was 14. Her hunger for learning and willingness to ask for support allowed her to achieve in a few years what most people will never accomplish in their lives. But there is another side to all this success. Nadya has her own share of hardships as a young leader of a new brand that is still in its build phase, coupled with an ongoing struggle to overcome childhood trauma and mental health issues. Brendan dives deep into these two sides of Nadya and shows us why she is a true embodiment of the CreateU Experience.
