Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in clothing but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Dylan Alexander, Founder of Dyln, located in Medford, OR, USA.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
Dyln collaborates with artists to create limited-edition, high-performance athletic apparel. Our customers are people who love fitness and fashion.
Tell us about yourself
I have been a runner for more than 20 years. I was formerly a 5k National Champion, but after a career-ending injury halted my athletic dreams, I decided to redirect my focus. If I couldn't make something with my body, I wanted to create something for my body.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
My biggest accomplishment is getting to collaborate with inspiring minds to create something new.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
The hardest part for me is setting work-life boundaries. As a business owner, your business is always with you.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Nobody else on this planet has lived the life that you have. In business, this is your leverage.
- Never lose your curious mind.
- How you recover is just as important as how you work.
