What is the driving philosophy behind Miki and Radha's entrepreneurial ventures?
All of our ideas that we do, it really stems from, there's a problem, let's solve it, instead of complain about it. Our Indian father always said, create, don't complain. You know, in a world of like so many complainers and sort of backseat drivers and trolls. Talk, talk, talk, and no action. Yeah, for us, it's like, okay, there's a problem, let's solve it.
You guys just have such entrepreneurial mindsets to be going through your life to be like, here's an opportunity to serve and change the conversation.
I just feel like we always like to solve problems that start with our problems in our own lives. And then then we kind of extrapolate. Is it is it is it a problem for a lot of people? It's a three question. What sucks in my world? Does it suck for a lot of people? Can we be passionate about this for a really long time? one in three americans have zero friends to confide in this number has tripled in the last 30 years and turns out having poor social connections is as harmful to your physical health as being an alcoholic and twice as harmful as obesity or smoking 15 cigarettes per day so loneliness is really prevalent amongst entrepreneurs amongst i mean one in three americans in general and and i think we've become more lonely as we've begin continue to swipe
Our guests today, Miki and Radha Agarwal, are celebrated for their ability to disrupt traditional markets with groundbreaking products. They've launched Thanks Period panties together. Miki really went on to launch Tushy, as well as Hero Technologies, which we talk about in the podcast. And then Radha built Daybreaker, which is a global morning dance movement. And together, they've built multiple companies that have generated tens of millions of dollars in revenue, but also given back to their communities. They truly embody a unique sense of creativity, resilience, and purpose in the world. And I'm so excited for you to dive in. This is a fun one. Oh, my gosh. I just love you both so much. What an honor to be able to do your first podcast together here. You are badasses in business, in motherhood individually, and together you're on a whole other level. Like, wow. And I know that the company that you guys started and sold, Thanks, is more than a product. It's really a conversation about empowering women, changing the conversation around menstruation, and... women's bodies.
I just want to know the story about what Inspired thinks to start with.
Sure. So we were defending our three-legged race championship title, our family barbecue. It's called Agripalooza. And it was a 10-year title that we were the reigning champions of. It's like egg toss and three-legged race are these two kind of like tentpole events at our annual Agripalooza. Our last name is Agrawal, so Agripalooza. It was, you know, competitive, everything competitive. So we were tied to each other in a three-legged race. And so then, of course, we, like, you know, ready, set, go. And then we were running together, tied to each other. In the middle of the race, Radha started her period. And then, like, she started bleeding into my sock. And then we started, like, sprinting through the finish line in first place, obviously. And then we sprinted, we kept going.
We kept going up the stairs to our family room bathroom so she can change out her bathing suit bottoms and wash them out. And as she was washing out the blood from bathing suit bottoms is when we had the idea. Like, oh my God, it would be amazing. It would be amazing to create a pair of underwear that never leak, that never stain, that supported you on every day of the month. Like the three-legged race. Then we talked to her older sister, Yuri, who's a surgeon. And she was like, we were like, all of your underwear are stained brown. Like, why? She's like, well, in the middle of an operation, you can't be like, yo, face while you're cut open. Let me just go and change my tampon while you're, you know, you have to bleed through.
