Teen CEO Built Hair Accessory Empire After Getting in Trouble for Losing Barrettes

In this episode of Jr. Moguls, host April Taylor sits down with 18-year-old CEO GaBBY Goodwin, who transformed childhood frustration into a thriving business empire. At just seven years old, GaBBY invented the double-snap hair barrette after constantly losing traditional ones and getting in trouble at school. This solution became GaBBY Bows, now an 11-year-old company with three U.S. patents heading to major retail stores this fall. GaBBY shares how her mom's social media rant about poor hair products led to their pastor suggesting they break into the market themselves. The young entrepreneur discusses the importance of confidence when pitching to rooms full of adults who knew nothing about hair care, explaining how passion and belief in your product creates supporters who help build your table. GaBBY also reveals details about her new children's book "Naturally Me" with Harper Collins, designed to teach authenticity and self-love. She announces her upcoming speaking engagement at TSP Live 2025 and shares practical advice for young entrepreneurs about persistence, family support, and owning your achievements.
