In this inspiring Dropping Bombs episode, Collette Divitto breaks down how she built a booming brand from rejection, disability, and zero handouts.

From viral growth to hiring others with disabilities, Collette shares her strategies for scaling a purpose-driven brand that doesn't ask for sympathy—just results. If you've ever felt underestimated or counted out, this episode is your proof that resilience, consistency, and grit can take you further than credentials ever will.
