This is an episode of our podcast Problem Solvers. Each week, an entrepreneur reveals how they overcame an unexpected problem in their business — and were happier and more successful as a result.

If you want to learn how to succeed without traditional advertising, ask someone in the “adult” industry. Why? Because most advertising channels –including Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, and more — are closed to them. That’s what Polly Rodriguez learned when she founded Unbound, a company that makes and sells adult products. Most platforms won’t take her money, so she had to get creative…and build her own community.
Tune into this episode of Problem Solvers to hear how Rodriguez built a customer base — and a sucessful business.
