At Foundr, we’re on a mission to democratise entrepreneurial education, and on our way to building one of the largest online schools in the world for entrepreneurs.
We interview some of the greatest founders of our generation (Mark Cuban, Seth Godin, Tim Ferriss, Tony Robbins, Barbara Corcoran, Daymond John & many more) to find out how they did it, so you can too.
However… in this series, we’re doing things a little differently. We’re working with our own students in our community, who are in the deep within the process of building their very own successful business. These are the founders of tomorrow, who’ve stood where you are- and are on the way to building the business of their dreams.
Now, before we jump in-- our lawyers have told us to tell you this, of course we can't guarantee you will have results like some of the stories we’re about to share in this show, and as you know-- with any business it's a lot of hard work in addition to completing any online course. That said, welcome to ‘From Zero to Foundr’.

Alicia Long was working at Google when she started feeling that a piece of her life was missing–entrepreneurship. While on maternity leave, she took the foundr Start and Scale course and learned that she needed to create a solution, not a product.

With help from her husband, a mechanical engineer, they created a nut milk maker that is convenient, compact, versatile, and sustainable. Nutr has exploded since its launch in 2021, hitting $1 million in sales in 6 months, and signed deals with retailers Sur La Table and Anthropology.

Imagine if your digital marketing business went from $100 revenue a month, to $25K revenue a month.
Not bad, right?
Now imagine that this digital marketing business is your SIDE HUSTLE. A business you run in your spare time.

What’s the fastest way to find your business idea? Simple: Identify, and solve a known problem.
Just ask Jennifer Abernathy, whose light-bulb moment came during her daily post-hot-yoga struggle changing out of her sweaty activewear.
There’s got to be a better way!
With a little sewing, a zip, an old pair of leggings, and a determination to fix this problem, Jennifer created the first prototype that would take her on a 3-year journey to launching Axcess Athletics.
In today’s episode of From Zero To Foundr, Jennifer discusses her incredible journey from building her own prototype, finding the right manufacturer (“I picked the wrong one the first time!”), and why she believes in a post-launch re-launch.
If you’re waiting for a sign to start your own brand, Jennifer Abernathy has this advice for you:
“Stop waiting, and just start...and always, ALWAYS have two manufacturers”.

After 25 years of brick-and-mortar restaurants, Nikki Buchannon and her husband were one month into their retirement before they discovered Foundr’s Start and Scale course. After completing the course, they decided to launch IReuse2, a luxury, eco-sustainable, on-the-go cutlery brand, and one year later they hit $100k in revenue. Two months after that, they hit another $100k!
Nikki says that the idea for reusable cutlery came from first-hand experience at her stores seeing how much waste was generated. The Start and Scale course not only helped her to define her brand but also to leverage Instagram and giveaways, which was extremely useful for someone who “wasn’t computer-savvy”.
In this episode of From Zero To Foundr, Nikki discusses her journey from high-school dropout, to the restaurant industry, to an invitation to attend the Superbowl Gifting Suites. The future is looking bright for Nikki as she says she is in the process of launching reusable bags, and that she plans to shift manufacturing to Canada. And Nikki’s advice to others who might be thinking about starting their own business?
“Just do it!”
