Daily Inspiration: Meet Autumn Weimann

Today we’d like to introduce you to Autumn Weimann.

Hi Autumn, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
My story begins when I was about eighteen years old. My parents taught me if I wanted something, I had to work really hard to get it myself and to never rely on anyone for anything. My parents worked extremely hard to have a roof over our head and food on our table but when it came to things like a car, college & a cell phone- I had to work for it. My siblings and I were never handed anything and I am extremely grateful I was raised this way. It made me work harder and appreciate the things I have. I started my own feather hair extension business at 18. I made enough money cash within about six months. I was able to buy my first car, cash! I quickly learned the wholesale business and had an entrepreneur flame ignited  that I couldn’t blow out.

I did everything possible in the fashion industry to really figure out what I loved. I interned for a public relations company in Beverly Hills, worked in retail, personal stylist, wholesale sales for large companies, designer,  fashion show production & even started writing my first book all before I was twenty-one years old AND taking full-time college courses at the same time. At twenty-three, I gained popularity on social media thru my love story, traveling in-between New York/ LA & of course, my hair.

I have always been obsessed with hair health & my health in general. When 2020 hit, I started researching a lot more about the Pharma industry & vitamins in general. Being vegan & into fitness, I was always careful of what I put into my body. My family comes from a background of heart issues, cancer & diabetes. During my two years research, I found a lot off flaws within ingredients that a lot of popular brands had in their supplements. It was infuriating.  I started taking and using natural clean supplements, changed my diet to clean eating and saw a huge different within my health, skin & hair. Using my wholesale background, I started interviewing American manufacturers that can create the first vegan, all clean & real ingredient hair supplement and walllaaa that’s where we are today!

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Finances is definitely one of my biggest struggle. Learning how to do the things I wanted for bangin hair on a budget was tough because I wanted the best of the best. In 2021/2022, we are now dealing with huge inflation issues that I had to overcome & figure out.  I learned that you don’t need a lot of money to launch a company. You need to believe in it! Don’t think outside the box, think like there is no box at all!

I have always been a workaholic. I typically put my work first before family & friends. I am thankful my husband is my business partner and we can do this together at times. However, it’s tough when friends and family don’t understand what goes into launching a company & that every minute of your time counts. Time is money… my goal is to take more self-care days and family days this year & also make time for the most bada$$ hair brand!

As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
It’s awkward when people ask what I do for a living because to be honest, I have ten different titles. As an entrepreneur, I am proud that I can wear many hats. I do have a full-time career in the apparel wholesale industry, I design, I sale & when I come home from my 9-5 I have wrote a book that became a best seller in 24 hours, a social media influencer since 2013 with over 500k followers and most recently created a hair supplement brand that is unlike any other hair supplement brand- Bangin Hair LLC.

How do you think about happiness?
Staying busy keeps me happy. Seeing something that I really believe in & that its helping others with their overall health makes me happy. Finding a solution & creating the solution makes me happy. For an example, a clean & all real ingredient with zero synthetic vitamins for consumers to take rather than a supplement full of sugar and synthetic ingredients being put into their bodies…

I was asked before I published my book by my publishing team if I cared more about making money or helping others? I immediately said helping others & that’s exactly what the book did. I had so many amazing women reach out to me & I am beyond thankful for my book. THAT’S what makes me happy.
