Madi Stefanis Started Selling Film Cameras to Gen Z—Within 18 Months She Made $3.6 Million

Madison Stefanis was 19 when she started selling refurbished vintage film cameras to Gen Z. She realized she was onto a booming market, but had some problems sourcing the vintage cameras—there are only so many available in the world for sale, right? Madi decided to meet the demand by creating her own film camera and market it to a nostalgic millennial and Gen Z customer. And, it's been a hit. They're crushing it on TikTok and Instagram, and in 18 months sold 40,000 units and did AU$3.6M in revenue.

In this episode Madi shares the behind the scenes in going from idea to a fully launched product, how they've found traction on social media, and how she's been able to show up as the face of her business as someone who's more introverted.
