#38 Madi Stefanis | Turning $250 Into Over $1 Million In 6 Months With A Gen-Z Ecom Brand

In this episode, I got to sit down with Madi Stefanis, the founder and CEO of the 35mm Co. A brand that has exploded over the last couple of years selling Australia's first-ever reusable film camera.

her flagship product, The Reloader has sold out twice since launching in august, selling out of all 5,000 units. The brand has since gone on to do over $1 million in sales and is showing no signs of slowing down any time soon.

Madi is incredibly inspiring as an inspiration for young women in Australia wanting to start a business, wise beyond her years and definitely someone to look for over the next few years and she becomes one of Australia's top entrepreneurs.
