20. Mindy Scheier - How there is no such thing as failure when it comes to changing the world
Manage episode 296374282 series 2935428
In this week’s episode of Start Somewhere, I’m so delighted to speak to the incredible Mindy Scheier. Mindy is the Founder of the Runway of Dreams Foundation, which aims to make adaptive clothing mainstream and promote people with disabilities in the fashion industry. Mindy has also created Gamut Talent Management to represent people with disabilities and create a marketplace where businesses and industries can connect to this target audience.
Before starting the Runway of Dreams Foundation, Mindy spent 20 years working in fashion as a designer and stylist. She was inspired to start Runway of Dreams after her son Oliver, who has Muscular Dystrophy, dreamed of wearing jeans like everyone else.
In this episode, we speak about the moment when Mindy started somewhere and challenged the fashion industry to become more inclusive, the everyday challenges disabled people face, and why adaptive fashion holds the key to confidence and self-expression.
The ask: There is no such thing as failure because failure is feedback. Always focus on your goal and dare to be flexible in how you get there.
