How This Social Impact Headphone and Speaker Company Competes with Apple with Bridget Hilton
After seeing a viral Youtube Video, while at work,  of a 29-year-old woman hearing her own voice for the first time, Bridget Hilton knew she wanted to recreate that joy in that video over and over again. She sent it to her friend Joe, who had done philanthropic work, cashed out her 401k, worth $5,000,  from Universal Music Group, and quit. She high-fived Joe and hopped on a plane to China, without a business plan or any idea how the electronics industry worked to source products for their idea, without even considering they were going up against some of the biggest companies in the world, such as Apple and Sony.Starting out by filling her apartment’s kitchen with inventory and making their own packaging from purchases at Michael’s craft store, LSTN then grew to 8 figures, partnering with companies such as Delta, Google, Spotify, Wyndham, Virgin, and Amazon. Most importantly, Bridget and Joe donated over a million dollars, traveled to 36 countries, and helped over 50,000 people receive hearing aids through their charitable partner, Starkey Hearing Foundation.In this episode of Limitless, Bridget shares her journey of how she created the first social enterprise company in the electronics industry, and the experiences along the way that caused her to create The Experiential Billionaire Movement, an inspirational movement dedicated to experiencing more and regretting less. From traveling the world helping others hear for the first time, to sharing the stage with Sir Richard Branson and U.S. Presidents, to turning herself into, as she calls it “an experiential guinea pig”, Bridget has truly experienced it all, while growing an 8 figure company that delivers true impact and having a whole lot of fun along the way.IN THIS LIMITLESS PODCAST EPISODE YOU WILL LEARNHow to create a positive impact on others through your company How to strategically position your company against the big-name competitors in the market How the power of belief can potentially transform your life Why experiences are the real wealth in our livesHow patience is key in landing major partnershipsLINKS FROM THIS EPISODEJoin the waitlist for Frankly Co.: https://franklyco.com/?utm=early-accessMore Frankly Co. resources: https://franklyco.com/resources/Connect with Bridget on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bridgethiltonFollow Bridget on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bridgetlhilton/Visit the LSTN Sound Co. website: https://lstnsound.com/ Follow LSTN Sound Co. on Twitter: https://twitter.com/LSTN Visit the Experiential Billionaire website: https://www.experientialbillionaire.com/
