163. Running a Small Business: Challenges and HR Solutions (feat. Aja Cohen)

Working for brands like Fila, Champion, and Converse brought about Aja’s passion for designing activewear, yet opened her mind to the negative impact fast fashion has on the environment. Completing her 200-hour yoga teacher training inspired her passion for wellness and mindfulness. That, combined with her strong ties to her faith, were the driving forces that led to the creation of Transcendent Active and the desire to create a fashionable, sustainable modest activewear collection. Eventually moving back to New Jersey and doing some soul searching, Aja was determined to blend her love for designing activewear, her passion for yoga and movement, and her dedication to helping the planet become more sustainable.

Her focus has always been on people, shaping her teams to produce results and grow in their roles.
