Nicole Biscuiti built Chesty from a DIY idea at a weightlifting competition into the first-ever patented sports bra with built-in collarbone protection — sold in 72 countries over a decade. Then, at the height of her brand’s success, she made the toughest call of her career: closing the business.
In this candid conversation, Nicole shares the real highs and lows of building a niche product, navigating manufacturing challenges, fundraising, and learning when protecting your mental health has to come first.
Whether you’re dreaming of bringing a product to market or figuring out if it’s time to pivot, this episode is packed with lessons you won’t find in business books.
💡 Takeaways:
• The surprising origin story of Chesty
• Why patents matter (and how to get one)
• Fundraising realities for product-based businesses
• What happens when your product lasts “too long”
• Recognizing burnout and making the hard call to close
