SHEspeaks S2 Ep5: Claire Smith

SHESpeaks, the Young&BosSHE podcast

This month, we’re focusing our content on SHEsFounders, a theme dedicated to the SHEs in our world who are building their own futures. I’m speaking with Claire Smith, the founder and owner of Teffola, a fresh teff granola made from ancient grains grown on a farm that has been in Clarie’s family for 7 generations. Though she spent her childhood focused on becoming a pediatric cardiologist, her time in college put her on a different path. Now, Claire works alongside her family, turning they Teff grain they grow into her granola - and her entrepreneurial ventures have only developed from there. She tells us about how growth strategy, how she continues to honor tradition through her business, advice for fellow SHEFounders, ignoring the sneaky hate spiral, the importance of building a mental foundation of strength for herself and more.
