This week's episode:
What do you do when traditional bike helmets just don’t work for you? Forgo a helmet altogether or choose a different sport? Tina Singh chose a third option - designing a helmet for Sikh kids who, like her three sons, keep their hair uncut. Although her company, Bold Helmets, was created with her community in mind, Tina hopes other overlooked groups could one day benefit from her re-imagining of the helmet.
What we discuss in this episode:
- The tough choices faced by Sikh parents who want their kids to participate in helmet-mandated sports
- How Tina started with zero knowledge of helmet design and what she would do differently
- Why she ended up pivoting the brand name
- How she coped with media attention when Bold Helmets launched
