Episode notes

Today’s guest is Mary Jenner, founder of The Butterfly Pig, a business that creates doll-sized medical devices for children, to help them understand medical procedures and lower their anxiety around them.

Here’s some of what we explored in our conversation:

* The intersection of experience, interests, and identity that contributed to the beginning of The Butterfly Pig.

* The origin of ‘The Butterfly Pig’ name.

* How the ‘How hard could it be?’ gene has helped (and hindered) Mary.

* The advantage Mary has over traditional doll makers and larger companies when it comes to developing products.

* The role of family in helping her grow her business

* How social media and Facebook groups have played an important role in the evolution and growth of the business.
