Caden Rathbun: Innovating Streetwear, Navigating the Fashion Industry, & Running a Business While in High School

In this episode of the Bloom Podcast, we welcome 17 year old Caden Rathbun to the show. Caden is a junior at Mountain Ridge High School in Phoenix, Arizona and founder/creative designer of @unknwn.streetwear. 
Unknwn Streetwear is a streetwear clothing line that currently releases various designs of shorts. With a constantly expanding product line, Caden has had to learn how to take a design from a creative thought all the way to the manufacturing of a physical product. We learn from Caden the tools and resources necessary to making that process happen.
In the conversation, Caden gives his testimony on figuring out business while still in high school, and the many obstacles and lessons he has faced since his start in business. As you will hear in the episode, the fashion industry is not an easy industry to do exceedingly well in; however with the right mindset, and proper framework, momentum is calculable.
We also discuss:
- The value of mentorship
- Perspective on high school in 2024
- Foraging broadly for information
- Physical product workflow
- Strategic approach to launching products

Shoutout to Caden for the game he put us on. He is a bright kid that is setting a great foundation for a life that is corroborate by his dreams. This episode is inspiring for all!

Thank you for the support.❤️
