#209: How Women in the Toy Industry Are Building Dreams and Connections with Ehi Oviasu-Kahn

Making It in The Toy Industry with The Toy Coach

Right now you might feel like an outsider in the toy industry. But it’s important to remember that we ALL started out that way. The goal of today’s podcast episode is to show you how you can go from zero connections in the world of toys, to thousands! Yep, thousands.
To teach that lesson, I’m bringing you part two of my interview with Ehi Oviasu-Kahn, where you’ll hear how she went from the spark of an idea in her kitchen, to becoming a pivotal figure at Women in Toys, Licensing, and Entertainment (WiT). Ehi's narrative is one of discovery, highlighting how warmth, mentorship, and collaboration fuel success in the toy industry.
In this episode you'll learn about the transformative power of networking and the essential role of communities like WiT and of course Toy Creators Academy but we’ll also tease why 2024 is an exciting season of change and what you can expect.
