How to Become one of Inc Magazine's Top 100 Female Founders with Kathy Cheng
In this episode I’m sitting down with with Kathy Cheng , one of Inc. Magazine’s Top 100 Female Founders of 2020.
Kathy is the President and Founder of Redwood Classics. You may not recognize the brand, but chances are you’ve seen or even worn their clothing.
Redwood Classic is a leading apparel manufacturer that provides fashion forward, made in Canada clothing to both the retail and promotional products industry.
Kathy is a staunch advocate for diversity in the workplace, and is equally passionate about helping provide opportunities for communities underrepresented in the fashion industry.
I invited Kathy to be a guest on my show to discuss her being named one of Inc. Magazine’s Top 100 Female Founders of 2020. I wanted to get her point of view on why there’s been a growing demand for made in Canada products. And I was curious to learn about her “Maker to Skin” philosophy and what’s at the core of the Redwood Classics brand purpose.
