Right again, not a 769 00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:53,279 Speaker 1: great assistant. So I went freelance at twenty five and 770 00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:55,560 Speaker 1: Roger was an investment banker. So we basically didn't see 771 00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:57,359 Speaker 1: each other for like five years because he was working 772 00:35:57,400 --> 00:36:01,200 Speaker 1: twenty four seven. I was making my editor job seventeen 773 00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:02,640 Speaker 1: thou five hundred dollars a year. 774 00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:05,799 Speaker 2: Just you know, remember when editorials paid one seventy five 775 00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:07,480 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I do.

So I think I want to touch 779 00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:20,600 Speaker 1: on that because I had my children later in life, 780 00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:22,759 Speaker 1: I had already been doing my career. I think like 781 00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:25,560 Speaker 1: fifteen years Roger and I were together eighteen years before 782 00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:26,160 Speaker 1: we had kids. 783 00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:27,000 Speaker 2: Wow. 784 00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:30,320 Speaker 1: So but I always say, in hindsight, like how would 785 00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:34,800 Speaker 1: I have ever done that while built?

So let's do it together. And 937 00:43:21,840 --> 00:43:24,680 Speaker 3: right that was like pure serendipity because we had met 938 00:43:24,719 --> 00:43:27,800 Speaker 3: each other many years later before or rather, and so 939 00:43:27,880 --> 00:43:31,359 Speaker 3: we've come together and our main goal was like, wow, 940 00:43:31,520 --> 00:43:33,960 Speaker 3: periods have kind of mean looked upon, is really shitty. 941 00:43:34,040 --> 00:43:36,000 Speaker 2: Our whole lives.

What a different maybe world we'd have? Right, 947 00:43:53,160 --> 00:43:55,600 Speaker 3: So we started the company. We called it period blah 948 00:43:55,640 --> 00:43:59,439 Speaker 3: blah blah blahlah. We launched immediately. On day one, someone 949 00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:02,560 Speaker 3: sends me this letter about like period poverty, which of 950 00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:04,840 Speaker 3: course I knew. Period poverty is when people don't have 951 00:44:04,920 --> 00:44:07,480 Speaker 3: access to care, like one in four Americans, which is 952 00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:12,760 Speaker 3: that's so insane to me, it's mental. But we quickly 953 00:44:12,920 --> 00:44:15,279 Speaker 3: we thought we were a sustainability company, which we were, 954 00:44:15,400 --> 00:44:17,560 Speaker 3: but then we realized, oh my god, we're not. We're 955 00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:20,880 Speaker 3: a mission driven company and our mission is to eradicate 956 00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:26,120 Speaker 3: sustainably eradicate period poverty. So we work with organizations, so 957 00:44:26,200 --> 00:44:29,000 Speaker 3: we have a direct consumer business.

And maybe we're in 1002 00:46:41,719 --> 00:46:44,440 Speaker 3: a different world now where we can't rely on government 1003 00:46:44,480 --> 00:46:46,840 Speaker 3: to help it changes. And maybe it's just great citizens, 1004 00:46:47,160 --> 00:46:50,759 Speaker 3: but I think you can combine everybody like citizens, governments 1005 00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:55,239 Speaker 3: and businesses and billionaires. Come on, come on buying, you know, 1006 00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:57,239 Speaker 3: buy us undred million pairs of period of time. 1007 00:46:57,440 --> 00:47:00,800 Speaker 1: It's true, it's true, and I think, but it's funny, 1008 00:47:00,880 --> 00:47:03,680 Speaker 1: because funny, sort of ironic, because it's sort of you 1009 00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:05,680 Speaker 1: think about this concept, You're like, how do I change 1010 00:47:05,719 --> 00:47:06,239 Speaker 1: the world with this? 1011 00:47:06,400 --> 00:47:08,759 Speaker 2: How do I impact the entire freaking world with this? 1012 00:47:09,040 --> 00:47:09,160 Speaker 5: Right? 1013 00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:12,360 Speaker 2: And it seems overwhelming, but I think that. 1014 00:47:13,040 --> 00:47:17,520 Speaker 1: You're already scratching the service in a really, really big way, 1015 00:47:17,760 --> 00:47:19,040 Speaker 1: and in a very short time. 1016 00:47:19,080 --> 00:47:20,960 Speaker 2: I mean, this is when did you launches two and 1017 00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:21,759 Speaker 2: a half years?

Hi. 1051 00:49:08,360 --> 00:49:10,840 Speaker 1: I love this podcast, and I have a question for 1052 00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:13,600 Speaker 1: Rachel that I'd love to hear her answer. I'm a 1053 00:49:13,680 --> 00:49:17,040 Speaker 1: mommy to two beautiful children, there's seven and three. My 1054 00:49:17,160 --> 00:49:19,880 Speaker 1: first love was fashion design, but I was at a 1055 00:49:19,960 --> 00:49:22,080 Speaker 1: point with my brand where it made more sense to 1056 00:49:22,160 --> 00:49:24,719 Speaker 1: take a break and be with my kids. Now that 1057 00:49:24,840 --> 00:49:28,399 Speaker 1: my youngest is three, I'm dreaming of getting my brand 1058 00:49:28,480 --> 00:49:31,120 Speaker 1: going again at thirty four years old. Do you think 1059 00:49:31,200 --> 00:49:33,920 Speaker 1: that ship has sailed? Am I crazy to try and 1060 00:49:34,040 --> 00:49:36,759 Speaker 1: start back right now? If not, do you have any 1061 00:49:36,840 --> 00:49:39,960 Speaker 1: advice for someone trying to come back from taking a 1062 00:49:40,040 --> 00:49:41,400 Speaker 1: break after having kids? 1063 00:49:41,960 --> 00:49:42,720 Speaker 2: Thanks Rachel. 1064 00:49:43,360 --> 00:49:47,759 Speaker 1: Okay, So, first of all, no, it's never too late 1065 00:49:48,120 --> 00:49:51,480 Speaker 1: to come back or start over or continue what you started. 1066 00:49:52,080 --> 00:49:54,000 Speaker 1: I do think you have to first take a look 1067 00:49:54,040 --> 00:49:56,040 Speaker 1: at the business that you're in and what you're going 1068 00:49:56,120 --> 00:49:58,799 Speaker 1: back to, because chances are it has changed a lot. 1069 00:49:59,440 --> 00:50:02,480 Speaker 1: I don't know a business that hasn't evolved and changed 1070 00:50:02,520 --> 00:50:06,320 Speaker 1: substantially over the last five to seven years, So I 1071 00:50:06,360 --> 00:50:11,160 Speaker 1: would definitely really think about that before you go headfirst 1072 00:50:11,200 --> 00:50:15,600 Speaker 1: into it. But absolutely thirty four is the perfect age, 1073 00:50:15,640 --> 00:50:18,480 Speaker 1: and I would argue to say that you are probably 1074 00:50:18,719 --> 00:50:24,600 Speaker 1: more focused, mature, and probably have the right perspectives on things, 1075 00:50:24,719 --> 00:50:29,839 Speaker 1: including business at thirty four than you were at twenty six. 1076 00:50:30,680 --> 00:50:32,920 Speaker 1: And you know, I really find, especially with women, that 1077 00:50:33,000 --> 00:50:35,480 Speaker 1: the older we get, I really think the better we 1078 00:50:35,560 --> 00:50:40,239 Speaker 1: are mentally, physically, emotionally, all the things. So no, and 1079 00:50:40,360 --> 00:50:43,440 Speaker 1: I think that I would say, depending on what you do, 1080 00:50:44,440 --> 00:50:47,000 Speaker 1: I would say, really study it and really see what 1081 00:50:47,160 --> 00:50:49,760 Speaker 1: the market is looking for and also what the market 1082 00:50:49,880 --> 00:50:53,879 Speaker 1: is missing, and really consider that and start small, Start small, 1083 00:50:53,880 --> 00:50:57,200 Speaker 1: and don't get yourself into a big overwhelming situation with 1084 00:50:57,360 --> 00:50:58,600 Speaker 1: inventory and things like that. 1085 00:50:58,920 --> 00:51:02,759 Speaker 2: So look, Okay, next question. 1086 00:51:02,880 --> 00:51:05,600 Speaker 1: I am going to be a mother of the groom 1087 00:51:05,960 --> 00:51:10,279 Speaker 1: in February twenty twenty four. That's very exciting. Any suggestions 1088 00:51:10,360 --> 00:51:12,880 Speaker 1: where to look for a dress gown? I want modern, 1089 00:51:13,040 --> 00:51:16,400 Speaker 1: up to date style. Also, any ideas what will be 1090 00:51:16,640 --> 00:51:20,200 Speaker 1: in for next February, Well, I would say listen. I 1091 00:51:20,440 --> 00:51:23,840 Speaker 1: believe there's so many variables to consider with a wedding. 1092 00:51:24,160 --> 00:51:26,440 Speaker 1: I got married in February in New York City and 1093 00:51:26,560 --> 00:51:28,520 Speaker 1: it was black tie, and it was at night, and 1094 00:51:28,600 --> 00:51:31,440 Speaker 1: it was at the Rainbow Room. So my bridesmaids all 1095 00:51:31,520 --> 00:51:35,719 Speaker 1: wore black velvet and my mother wore gold, and I 1096 00:51:35,920 --> 00:51:39,200 Speaker 1: believe Roger's mother also wore like white and gold. I 1097 00:51:39,320 --> 00:51:42,919 Speaker 1: think when you're in February, depending on is it black tie, 1098 00:51:43,600 --> 00:51:45,560 Speaker 1: where is it is it in a way wedding? Is 1099 00:51:45,600 --> 00:51:48,000 Speaker 1: it a city wedding. Are you in cold weather, are 1100 00:51:48,040 --> 00:51:50,200 Speaker 1: you in warm weather? All those things sort of weigh 1101 00:51:50,200 --> 00:51:52,600 Speaker 1: into it. But I would say color wise, I love 1102 00:51:52,719 --> 00:51:55,719 Speaker 1: navy in February. I love gold all year round. I 1103 00:51:55,880 --> 00:51:58,520 Speaker 1: do think you can wear black as the mother of 1104 00:51:58,680 --> 00:52:01,520 Speaker 1: the groom, but navy is a better option, or a 1105 00:52:01,600 --> 00:52:03,200 Speaker 1: metallic I think is really chic. 1106 00:52:03,480 --> 00:52:04,240 Speaker 2: I love a sleeve. 1107 00:52:04,520 --> 00:52:06,080 Speaker 1: I love an off the shoulder because I think the 1108 00:52:06,120 --> 00:52:09,040 Speaker 1: prettiest part of women is their sort of neck and shoulders, 1109 00:52:09,280 --> 00:52:12,880 Speaker 1: especially at a wedding. I do love Monique Lulier for 1110 00:52:13,280 --> 00:52:16,719 Speaker 1: everything wedding. I love your wing. It depends really on 1111 00:52:16,840 --> 00:52:19,600 Speaker 1: what your budget is because there's really so many options 1112 00:52:19,640 --> 00:52:22,279 Speaker 1: out there in every price range. You can also get 1113 00:52:22,320 --> 00:52:24,560 Speaker 1: something custom made. You can pull a dress image that 1114 00:52:24,600 --> 00:52:26,600 Speaker 1: you love and have it made at your local sort 1115 00:52:26,600 --> 00:52:29,680 Speaker 1: of seamstress shop and pick your fabrics and things like that, 1116 00:52:29,760 --> 00:52:32,080 Speaker 1: but obviously that's a lot more work. Show me your 1117 00:52:32,120 --> 00:52:36,560 Speaker 1: MUMU does amazing sort of bridle in every size, shape, color. 1118 00:52:36,680 --> 00:52:39,840 Speaker 1: They do a huge wedding business and very reasonable, so 1119 00:52:39,880 --> 00:52:42,279 Speaker 1: I think that's also a great one. But that would 1120 00:52:42,320 --> 00:52:46,400 Speaker 1: be my suggestion, So good luck.
