296 | How a Contract and Non-Compete Took Away Hayley Paige's Entire Brand and Name

When the brand you've spent your whole career building gets taken away from you, what can you possibly do to find success again? You probably know the name Hayley Paige, but did you know there was a time recently where she couldn't use it professionally (or even design wedding dresses anymore)? Due to a contract and non-compete that she signed when she started her career, she lost everything (temporarily, thanks to a legal battle). Now, with the right to officially use her legal name, Hayley is using her voice to fight non-competes and protect creators through her non-profit. In today's episode, she joins us to share her story, why it's important to know your rights and fight for them, along with what she did to stay resilient during her legal battle.
