Have you ever considered starting a business in graduate school? If so, then this episode is for you. Danielle is a 6th year PhD student and co-founder of Lil Labmates, an environmentally sustainable company that produces stem themed developmental baby toys. On this episode we talk about how childbirth and the pandemic gave her the inspiration, the parallels between grad school (ie.

We address all of these questions and more: Why is starting a business in grad school opportune? What does self-care have to do with it? What to do when you fail?
