188: How this Busy Mom Created Play Pits All-Natural Deodorant for Kids (w/ Chantel Powell)

As a busy working mom and wife, Chantel Powell found herself shuttling her son Kameron between summer basketball camp and football practice. She quickly noticed that he was starting to smell like a grown man because he was sweating buckets under his armpits, and that’s when her innovative mindset kicked in. Chantel decided to develop an all-natural deodorant for her son. And so Play Pits the brand was born.  Play Pits is a 100% all-natural deodorant for active kids. It’s free of aluminum, parabens, synthetic fragrances and other harsh chemicals. While it can be used on the most gentle skin types, it also packs a strong punch against odors.  In today’s episode, Chantel breaks down: How she tested out Play Pits on family to get feedback How customer demand led her to evolve from children’s deodorant to an adult deodorant component as well How she did it all while side hustling Listen on Apple Podcasts, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Spotify This episode is brought to you by: Skillshare Get 2 free months of Premium Membership at skillshare.com/sidehustlepro FreshBooks Try FreshBooks FREE for 30 days.
