1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:00,680
Speaker 1: That's the thing.

2
00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:03,720
Speaker 2: I mean, like with a small business, you can't really

3
00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:06,960
Speaker 2: sit on it and wait for the opportunity. If there's

4
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:09,879
Speaker 2: things that you're wanting to do and wanting to achieve,

5
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:13,600

19
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 3: and Conquered Podcast. I am so happy to be back

20
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:29,319
Speaker 3: in your ears after a short break, and today I

21
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:34,319
Speaker 3: am bringing you a podcast with two other girl bosses,

22
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 3: Georgia and Claire, the owners of l and Roe Jeurry.

23
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:42,479
Speaker 3: So I'm sure you may have seen me posting about

24
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 3: my collaboration with Ellen Rowe on socials. If you haven't,

25
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 3: go check it out. But basically, Ellen Rowe is a

26
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 3: curated jury range, driven with purpose. It's a collection where

27
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 3: you can find connection and intention in your jewels, combining

28
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 3: style and design and to offer you quality jury at

29
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 3: an affordable price point. And so I first heard about

30
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:10,519
Speaker 3: ellen Row. They sent me some pieces it would have

31
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 3: been last year, and I started wearing them. And I'm

32
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 3: someone who's super lazy and I don't like taking jury off.

33
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 3: So any sort of pieces around the price point of

34
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 3: ellen Row don't usually last long, and you know, I'll

35
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 3: find after a couple of weeks they get a bit tarnished,

36
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:31,920
Speaker 3: they look a bit gross, and you know I'll have

37
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 3: to put on something else. But with Ellen Roe pieces,

38
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:40,519
Speaker 3: oh my god, guys, the quality is so insane, it's

39
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 3: so beautiful, it's so incredible. And yeah, so since then,

40
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 3: I've had such an amazing relationship with g and Claire

41
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 3: from ellen Row, and when they approached me to do

42
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:56,799
Speaker 3: a collaboration with them on my own collection, it's a

43
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 3: bit surreal saying that to you guys. It was a

44
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,360
Speaker 3: hell oh yes, because I knew the quality was there.

45
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 3: They just seemed like awesome women in business. You know,

46
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:11,360
Speaker 3: they're locals, they live in Sydney and they've started this brand.

47
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 3: They've had some really cool milestones like launching in surf Sgit,

48
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 3: surf Stitch and the Iconic, and they'd have a really

49
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 3: unique and interesting brand story, which we will get into

50
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:29,640
Speaker 3: in the podcast. But yeah, I'm just so excited about

51
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 3: this collaboration with Ellen Roe. When you're listening, my pieces

52
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 3: will be live on their website, so make sure you

53
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 3: check them out. I put a lot of heart and

54
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 3: soul at the main statement. Necklace has no one as you.

55
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 3: That is your power. You guys know that is my

56
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 3: favorite quote. And I wear it like quote side up

57
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 3: and I smile every time I see it in the mirror.

58
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 3: And yeah, I just I love wearing something that has

59
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 3: meaning to it and makes me feel so empowered. And

60
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 3: I hope you guys feel really empowered to if you

61
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 3: get anything from the collection. But let's get into this podcast.

62
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 3: You're going to love this story. And it's really cool

63
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 3: too because Claire and g came from two really different

64
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 3: backgrounds and they've yeah, created this incredible business and are

65
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:26,159

00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:01,719
Speaker 3: excited to get into this chat. So I went into

75
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 3: that you guys would have heard in the intro about

76
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:10,040
Speaker 3: Geordia and Claire, owners of Ellen Row Drury and I

77

78
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:19,479
Speaker 3: we are doing a very cool colab. Just a quick

79
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 3: side note, do you guys call it like collab or collab?

80
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 1: Oh?

81
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,720
Speaker 4: I always say collab, but I feel like everybody else

82
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 4: says collab, so it's probably.

83
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 1: Amazing club too, but each to their own.

84
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 3: I was like, is that just like a bit of

85
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:41,839
Speaker 3: an obnoxious way of saying it collab? Other people say that, Yeah,

86
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:47,839
Speaker 3: let's just go with collab. Okay, so I was very

87
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:51,159
Speaker 3: lucky enough to do a collab with Ellen Rowe, which

88
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:55,479
Speaker 3: is when this podcast goes out, it will actually be live.

89
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 3: The pre sale will be live, which we are all

90
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 3: so excited about. And so I actually got introduced to

91
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:09,480
Speaker 3: Ellen Roe last year and I did a collab. I

92
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 3: did a collaboration with you guys and just became obsessed

93
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 3: because I am so lazy. I'm so lazy, and I'm

94
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,360
Speaker 3: I'm also a bit of a basic bitch where I

95
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 3: want to wear something and i just want to wear

96
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 3: it all the time. I'm not going to take it

97
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:28,839
Speaker 3: off to shower. I'm not you know, anything like that.

98
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 3: And I also don't mind investing in pieces like that

99
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 3: because yeah, that's just one of my things, like I'm

100
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:40,599
Speaker 3: not and also like I'm not like chopping and changing

101
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 3: between pieces. I kind of want to find pieces that

102
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,720
Speaker 3: you know, go with you know, my work with it

103
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,920
Speaker 3: look fine with actor wear, but then still dress up

104
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,720
Speaker 3: into you know, a classy dress or something like that.

105
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:58,279
Speaker 3: And so when I started wearing your pieces, I'm not

106
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:02,479
Speaker 3: gonna lie. I've tried a lot of you know, gold

107
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 3: jewelry pieces in your price range, in the price range

108
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 3: of Ellen Row and you know, the last like a

109
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 3: couple of weeks, maybe a month, and then start to

110
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 3: go a bit gross, start to tarnish, and I've got

111
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 3: to take it off, you know. And I didn't get

112
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 3: that with your pieces. I remember talking to Claire and

113
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 3: being like, oh my god, the quality is just insane.

114
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 3: It's so so good. And I love the fact that

115
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 3: I don't have to take these pieces off and shower

116
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 3: and and you know, I was on my Instagram telling everyone.

117
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 3: So when you guys approached me about doing collaboration, I

118
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 3: was like, yes, I'm so so excited. And that's kind

119
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 3: of how this relationship came to be. So I wanted

120
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,400

Speaker 2: soul that makes everybody feel like somebody. So it's really

143
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 2: sort of focusing on just no matter who you're interacting with,

144
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:19,440
Speaker 2: doesn't matter who they are, where they've come from, just

145

Speaker 2: be really kind, to be present in the moment and

146
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:26,720

157
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:06,200
Speaker 4: you attract by the person you become. And I just

158
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 4: think that that is just so powerful because the more

159
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 4: you work on yourself and the more we're developing and learning,

160
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 4: the more opportunities are coming to us, and the more

161
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 4: success we are able to see from that.

162
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 5: So there you go.

163
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 3: I love that so much, Claire, that you know, I'm

164
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 3: a personal development junkie, and so cuarranc crews like, yes,

165
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 3: we feel that.

166
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:28,720
Speaker 1: We love that.

167
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 3: No, that's beautiful. So obviously I've done an intro and

168
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 3: I've introduced you girls. Sorry, don't mean to kick killing

170
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:44,960

00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 3: a snapshot of who you are, what you do in

172
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 3: ellen Row, what you do outside of ellen Row. Yeah,

173
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 3: just a little bit more of an insight of you.

174
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 2: You go first, g Okay, Well, I want to start

175
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:05,440
Speaker 2: with a little fun fact. I'm an identical twin, which

176
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 2: is always people always love that. It is fun, and

177
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 2: so Claire and I both from a small town up

178
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 2: on the mid North Coast as well. Funnily enough, we

179
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:19,960
Speaker 2: didn't know each other when we lived there. We met

180
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 2: sort of a bit later on in life. After high school,

181
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:27,680
Speaker 2: I sort of went into studying a diploma of business

182
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 2: and from there I had an opportunity as an intern

183
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:36,840
Speaker 2: for a PR agency, a fashion PR agency in the city.

184
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 1: So I studied in Sydney. So at the moment, I'm

185
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 1: in Sydney.

186
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:46,080
Speaker 2: And from there I sort of went into more of

187
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 2: like into property real estate, into like a sales management

188
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:52,719
Speaker 2: marketing role and that's sort of like where my background

189
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 2: is amazing.

190
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 3: And then tell us a little bit. Actually, you go first, Claire,

191
00:11:57,679 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 3: and then we'll get into how you guys sort of

192
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 3: get came together and came to be.

193
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 5: Okay.

194
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, So, as you mentioned, we grew up in small

195
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 4: towns on the mid North Coast and I have always

196
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 4: just been like everything about jewelry. So from as young

197
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:17,439
Speaker 4: as maybe like nine or ten, I just remember making jewelry.

198
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 4: So it's always just been like my path. Everything that

199
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 4: I've done has just always been about that. Every work

200
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 4: experience I did in high school like everything was going

201
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 4: towards that. So when I finished school, I moved to

202
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 4: Newcastle and I did a four year manufacturing jewelers apprenticeship

203
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:38,720
Speaker 4: and then met my boyfriend when I was there and

204
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:40,560
Speaker 4: he was in Sydney, so I moved to Sydney to

205
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 4: be with him after that, and I ended up studying

206
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 4: gemology and diamond grading and working across wholesale retail manufacturing, designing,

207
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 4: like all aspects of the jewelry industry.

208
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 5: And that's how we got to where we are today.

209
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:01,320
Speaker 3: Yeah wow, So two very different backgrounds too, which I

210
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 3: absolutely love.

211
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:04,080
Speaker 1: Very different Yeah yeah.

212
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:07,720
Speaker 3: So then tell us how Ellen Rowe came to be.

213
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 4: So, I mean for me, like I and when I

214
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:13,840
Speaker 4: was going through your actually going through the Rise and

215
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 4: Conker course, I realized that it has always been like

216
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:18,079
Speaker 4: a core belief of mine that I've.

217
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 5: Just always known that I would have a jewelry brand.

218
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 4: And I didn't know what that would look like, and

219
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 4: I didn't know how I would do it or anything

220
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 4: like that. But I've just always known that I'm going

221
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 4: to have my own business and that's what it is like,

222
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:35,719
Speaker 4: and I've never questioned it. So when I met G

223
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 4: and I sort of found out her background on that

224
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 4: and we became inseparable. We were living together, like we

225
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 4: were doing everything together, and I was kind of always

226
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 4: like okay, like I think I can be the creative

227
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 4: designer one and she can be the business one that

228
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 4: does the selling, and I can just be like, here's

229
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 4: what I made you do the rest. I mean, it's

230
00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 4: funny because it's not at all how it is now, But.

231
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:03,080
Speaker 5: That was amazing when I was twenty one.

232
00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 4: So from there, I think it was quite a while after.

233
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 4: So we became friends. I think we met in maybe

234
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 4: twenty eleven, twenty twelve, and we didn't actually start the

235
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:18,080
Speaker 4: business until two thousand and seventeen. So I came to

236
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 4: g with the idea and I was like, hey, I'd

237
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 4: really like to do this, and I'd really like to

238
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 4: do it with you, and she was on board, which

239
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 4: was amazing. So that's when we see, Yeah, that's when

240
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 4: we started out. In what twenty seventeen we launched.

241
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, So the ideas, I guess took took a

242
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 2: while to sort of like grow and.

243
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 1: Plan and sort of have the idea.

244
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 2: So two years we're kind of working on it, trying

245
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:48,880
Speaker 2: to think of a name, get manufacturers, sort of what

246
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 2: we wanted our business structure to be, all those kinds

247
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 2: of things, and like Claire, I always my sort of

248
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 2: end goal was always have my own business as well.

249
00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:01,400
Speaker 2: So it really did just happen like so organically and

250
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 2: just really made sense.

251
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 1: So we're quite lucky.

252
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 3: First of all, I absolutely love because you have two

253
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 3: people here who are obviously super passionate about what they

254
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 3: do what they do. Sorry, but you know you have

255
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 3: Claire who from the beginning she knew it was going

256
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 3: to be Juri and she had, you know, that was like,

257
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 3: just like you said, that core belief. And now you

258
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 3: know you have g who's like, yes, I would love

259
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 3: to own my own business, not too sure how that

260
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 3: looks like, and then an opportunity presents itself, and I

261
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 3: think that's like, it's beautiful. I'm very much the same

262
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 3: as G where it's like I didn't have the specifics

263
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 3: I knew what I wanted in life, and then something

264
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 3: came up and now I couldn't see myself doing anything,

265
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 3: you know, different with Naked Harvest. But I think a

266
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 3: lot of people, if they don't have that initial this

267
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:55,760
Speaker 3: is what I want to do, that can kind of

268
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 3: get a little bit like, oh, but you know, I

269
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 3: don't even know what I want to do, And it's

270
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 3: about trusting that when it's the right time and the

271
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 3: right opportunity. It will come up and it can come

272
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:11,480
Speaker 3: from you know, either one either sort of situation, which

273
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 3: I think is really cool.

274
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely.

275
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 3: So tell us about the start. So you guys, you know,

276
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 3: you started talking about it, obviously spending a lot of

277
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 3: time together. Did the start idea of Ellen Rowe kind

278
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 3: of look different to what it is now or you know,

279
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 3: did you know from the start? What tell us about

280
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 3: that journey?

281
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 1: So it was it was very different in the beginning.

282
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 2: We started essentially as an online stockist, so we stopped

283
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 2: different brands from all over, so we had Australian designers,

284
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 2: designers from the US, we had one from France, Poland

285
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 2: it was kind.

286
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 1: Of quite diverse.

287
00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 2: We always knew that we wanted to have our own

288
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 2: range that we've designed and manufactured, but when we were

289
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 2: starting in the beginning, that sort of seemed like quite

290
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 2: far away in terms of being able to fund it.

291
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 2: It's quite a lengthy process, Georgie, as you know now

292
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:18,879
Speaker 2: with manufacturing your collection with us, it can take time.

293
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:22,960
Speaker 2: So we really sort of we kind of had that

294
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:26,199
Speaker 2: attitude that we just want to start, let's try and

295
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:31,159
Speaker 2: establish our brand. Stock some other beautiful designers that are

296
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:34,119
Speaker 2: established that we know we're good quality and kind of

297
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 2: start from there. So that was sort of our business

298
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:39,359
Speaker 2: plan in the beginning, but we always sort of had

299
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 2: it in the back of our minds that it was

300
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 2: eventually going to be our own ranges and our own

301
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 2: collections that we could then wholesale on and all those

302
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 2: kinds of things.

303
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:56,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, amazing, And that's also another great pointer of even

304
00:17:56,800 --> 00:18:01,600
Speaker 3: though how you started isn't necessary what you do now

305
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:04,200
Speaker 3: is you just started you were like, all right, well,

306
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:06,399
Speaker 3: it's going to take us a while to get our

307
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 3: own collection together, so let's just start. Let's start the brand,

308
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 3: let's get in other pieces. And also what I love

309
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 3: about that is kind of you having this beautiful mindset

310
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 3: from the beginning beginning of collaboration of you know, not thinking, well,

311
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:28,879
Speaker 3: I don't want to you know, sell any anyone else's brand,

312
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:30,919
Speaker 3: because in the end, I want it to be my brand.

313
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:34,119
Speaker 3: You thought, if we give people amazing pieces that are

314
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:37,159
Speaker 3: amazing quality, that are beautiful, they're going to you know,

315
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 3: come back and shop with us when we have our

316
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:43,480
Speaker 3: own brand. So like, that's actually a very unique kind

317
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 3: of mindset and very expansive way to go about it.

318
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:51,919
Speaker 3: When you go first into business, Like, that's actually very unique.

319
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 4: It works out really well, and especially because you know,

320
00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:58,879
Speaker 4: when we're starting out, we didn't have the funds to

321
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 4: do photos and do all those sorts of things, even

322
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:04,919
Speaker 4: to get like the professional website images with the you know,

323
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:07,880
Speaker 4: white background, the ghost images, like, we didn't have any

324
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 4: of the money to do that. So by working with

325
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 4: other people we could get all the photos from their shoot,

326
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 4: we could you know, really build out our social media

327
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:18,639
Speaker 4: and everything. And it worked really well in our favor

328
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 4: to start. But as you said, like we always knew

329
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 4: we were going to go into our own collection. It

330
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 4: was just kind of the stepping stones I guess to

331
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:27,160
Speaker 4: get us there.

332
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:31,480
Speaker 3: Yes, I love that, and that's like that's problem solving.

333
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:34,119
Speaker 3: That's like, yeah, I don't have the funds now, but

334
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:37,119
Speaker 3: let's do this. Let's you know, keep banking the money

335
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 3: that we can then put in our own collection, which

336
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 3: is really really cool. So what did the transition look

337
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:47,320
Speaker 3: like from you know, doing other pieces to doing your

338
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:49,199
Speaker 3: own range? And I knew you guys used to be

339
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:53,919
Speaker 3: called is it QH Collectives QH Collection collection? Sorry? Ye,

340
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 3: So was that kind of the transition when you went

341
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:00,000
Speaker 3: from that to having your own pieces.

342
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:07,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, So QH Collection was more based around being as stockist.

343
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 1: It was more like a collection of other pieces.

344
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 2: And from there we design and manufactured our first ellen

345
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 2: Row collection and stopped that on QH Collection as a

346
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:25,879
Speaker 2: jewelry designer on that website, and then from there we

347
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 2: just sort of thought, this is like, we really want

348
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:29,880
Speaker 2: to be doing.

349
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:30,480
Speaker 1: Our own pieces.

350
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:34,240
Speaker 2: We want to have more freedom and design and creativity

351
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:37,240
Speaker 2: behind it. We were sort of more growing into the

352
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:41,960
Speaker 2: business and it felt feeling more like authentic to us

353
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 2: and more natural sort of to do it that way,

354
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:48,680
Speaker 2: So introducing our own brand in the beginning and then

355
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 2: sort of slowly phasing out those other designers they sold.

356
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 4: Out because when we did introduce ellen Row, we had

357
00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 4: a separate website for it, so it was a second business.

358
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:04,200
Speaker 4: It was stocked on QH Collection, but it was its

359
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:07,239
Speaker 4: own business. And as it started getting busier and we

360
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:10,880
Speaker 4: started getting more wholesale accounts, so that we were like, what,

361
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:13,199
Speaker 4: we can't keep doing this, Like we need to just

362
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 4: go all in on our own stuff and just merge

363
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:19,639
Speaker 4: it all. That's when we rebranded and really brought it together.

364
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 4: And because QH had built so much of a following

365
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:24,399
Speaker 4: on Instagram. We really wanted to keep that, so we

366
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 4: just completely rebranded and just brought it all into the

367
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:28,119
Speaker 4: one website.

368
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:32,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, amazing, And again, that's like such a different way.

369
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:36,119
Speaker 3: It's just such a different business idea and way of

370
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 3: doing things. Very unique, but obviously worked so well for

371
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 3: you guys and was very you know, met you where

372
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:48,240
Speaker 3: you were at, yeah, which is definitely really important when

373
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:51,400
Speaker 3: you were doing your own thing too. So well, let's

374
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:53,680
Speaker 3: talk about because you guys have had some pretty cool

375
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:57,600
Speaker 3: stock lists and you know, some pretty cool stuff with

376
00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:00,600
Speaker 3: Ellen Row, can you chat to us about you know,

377
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:03,880
Speaker 3: those exciting milestones in your business and kind of how

378
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:04,600
Speaker 3: they came to be.

379
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 5: Yeah.

380
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:09,399
Speaker 4: Absolutely, So, Yeah, we're very proud. We have quite a

381
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:12,440
Speaker 4: few small boutiques that stop us. And then last year

382
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:16,159
Speaker 4: we launched onto surf Stitch and onto the Iconic as well,

383
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 4: or within a couple of months, which was pretty crazy

384
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:24,720
Speaker 4: for us. It was Aconic especially, I mean, I mean,

385
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 4: we were obviously still very much in a pandemic, but

386
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:29,440
Speaker 4: we were kind of coming out of the first lockdown

387
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:31,159
Speaker 4: and we were kind of all over the place in

388
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:33,720
Speaker 4: terms of what stock was doing and everything, So it

389
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:38,639
Speaker 4: was pretty crazy. But very very exciting, and in terms

390
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:42,159
Speaker 4: of how it came about, we just asked the question.

391
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 4: We just asked, and we researched, and we found different

392
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:48,520
Speaker 4: ways to contact people, and we just didn't give up

393
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:49,960
Speaker 4: until we found a way.

394
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:55,679
Speaker 2: In Yeah, Clay Detective and was on Google and LinkedIn

395
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:58,200
Speaker 2: and some ended up on the back end of the

396
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 2: Iconic getting email addresses.

397
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:03,200
Speaker 5: So I did.

398
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:06,120
Speaker 3: I love that.

399
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:06,560
Speaker 5: I did.

400
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:12,440
Speaker 4: I actually found the website where the Iconic stockers order

401
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:15,480
Speaker 4: their packaging, and I was like, I don't need packaging,

402
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:18,399
Speaker 4: but I would like to need packaging, So like, how.

403
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 3: Do I do this?

404
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:21,359
Speaker 2: Oh?

405
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 3: My god, No, I love it? And see this is

406
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 3: this is awesome because like these are the these are

407
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:30,760
Speaker 3: the things you need to do. Like it's it's not

408
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:33,840
Speaker 3: about just sitting there and waiting and going, oh, I

409
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 3: hope you know a big brand sees us and want

410
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:42,960
Speaker 3: to stocks us. It's about stalking them. Ye, shocking, my broch.

411
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:44,600
Speaker 1: That's the thing.

412
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 2: I mean, like with a small with a small business,

413
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 2: you can't really sit on it and wait for the opportunity.

414
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 2: If there's things that you're wanting to do and wanting

415
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:55,880
Speaker 2: to achieve, you really have to go all in.

416
00:23:56,680 --> 00:24:01,520
Speaker 3: Yes, and like, like you said, Claire or sorry might

417

419
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:12,080

427
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 3: of people's you know, faces, and doing that, because yeah,

428
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:44,240
Speaker 3: if you're not going to advocate for yourself, then who

429
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:44,679
Speaker 3: else is?

430
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:45,199
Speaker 5: Who is?

431
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:45,679
Speaker 1: Yeah?

432
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:46,240
Speaker 5: Exactly.

433
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 4: And when I was trying to get so, i'd like

434
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:51,720
Speaker 4: set my sights on the iconic. I was like, we're

435
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:54,120
Speaker 4: going to get stopped on there, Like that's I'm doing it.

436
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 4: And I started going through all Facebook groups and just reading,

437
00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:00,439
Speaker 4: like I type into the search bar the icon and

438
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:02,560
Speaker 4: then I'd read all the threads and then I'd see

439
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:05,080
Speaker 4: other people who were in there, like stopped on there,

440
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:07,119
Speaker 4: and I'd just message them and be like hey, just

441
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 4: out of curiosity, like I hope you don't mind me asking,

442
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:12,879
Speaker 4: but how did you get stocked on the iconic? Like,

443
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:15,359
Speaker 4: if you don't want to answer me, don't that's totally fine.

444
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:17,520
Speaker 4: And there was quite a lot of people that were like,

445
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:20,720
Speaker 4: this is how we did it, or like we just

446
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:23,840
Speaker 4: emailed or whatever, but don't bother. They're not going to

447
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 4: purchase your stock because it's a pandemic, like they're not

448
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:31,600
Speaker 4: like buying at the moment whatever, blah blah blah, and like,

449
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 4: thank god we did and thank god I did it anyway,

450
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:37,880
Speaker 4: because I mean it worked out perfectly. People started buying

451
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:42,480
Speaker 4: online more, they needed more stocky, A lot of people

452
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:45,919
Speaker 4: get manufactured in countries that were shut down from COVID,

453
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:49,160
Speaker 4: where our manufacturing channels were absolutely fine. Things were running

454
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:55,880
Speaker 4: quite smoothly at that time, so like it was perfect

455
00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:58,879
Speaker 4: timing for us, and things just started selling online so

456
00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:02,320
Speaker 4: much more as well. So I mean, thank god that

457
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:04,920
Speaker 4: we kept going anyway, even though so many people along

458
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:06,480
Speaker 4: the way told us just not to bother.

459
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:11,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, sometimes don't listen. Sometimes just don't listen to other people.

460
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:16,520
Speaker 3: But I love that because it's also like you couldn't

461
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 3: have and you know, Claire, you'd know this from my course,

462
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:22,919
Speaker 3: what I'm about to say that you couldn't have you know,

463
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:27,679
Speaker 3: imagined the how. You were just very clear on I

464
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:30,120
Speaker 3: want to be in stocked in the iconic. We're going

465
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:33,919
Speaker 3: to do it, and lack, Yeah, the how of you know,

466
00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:37,880
Speaker 3: a pandemic and people shopping more online and other stock

467
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:40,280
Speaker 3: lists getting shut down, Like there's no way you could

468
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:44,000
Speaker 3: have foreseen that, but you were just very clear this

469
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:46,000
Speaker 3: is what we want. We're going to keep going. We're

470
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:49,359
Speaker 3: not too worried about the how, and yeah, look what happened,

471
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:56,000
Speaker 3: and it's incredible. I'm pretty proud. Okay, So tell us

472
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:59,119
Speaker 3: more about the biz side of things, so well, not

473
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:02,480
Speaker 3: so much bisy bit like who handles what and who

474
00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:05,240
Speaker 3: does what jobs, because I know myself from you know,

475
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:07,880
Speaker 3: working with my brother in a company, you do kind

476
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 3: of have to, you know, have different roles, wear different

477
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:14,840
Speaker 3: hats and what does that look like for you guys.

478
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:18,919
Speaker 2: So, as we're saying before, when we first started, my

479
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:21,880
Speaker 2: role was sort of more business focused, and then Claire's

480
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:26,160
Speaker 2: was more sort of creative designing focused, and then as

481
00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 2: we've sort of grown and evolved and really sort of

482
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:30,800
Speaker 2: found our feet in the business, our.

483
00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:32,720
Speaker 1: Roles of like totally switched.

484
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:35,280
Speaker 2: So Claire does like a lot of the business management,

485
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 2: wholesale management, finances, all that kind of thing and designing,

486
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:42,920
Speaker 2: and then I'm all sort of the creative direction brand

487
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:46,520
Speaker 2: management sort of sided things, and then we both sort

488
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:47,880
Speaker 2: of designed together as well.

489
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:51,959
Speaker 3: Yeah, amazing. Isn't that interesting? How you thought you know

490
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:55,200
Speaker 3: you're going to be a certain way and then look,

491
00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:58,439
Speaker 3: and I think I think that's like such a testament too,

492
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 3: to the whole and like you don't know until you try.

493
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 3: And I think sometimes you can label yourself like I

494
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:09,119
Speaker 3: used to label myself as not creative. I used to

495
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:12,440
Speaker 3: label myself as no, I'm very structured. You know, I'm

496
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:15,720
Speaker 3: a lawn student. I like, you know, A to B

497
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:19,040
Speaker 3: and whatnot. I don't do the creative thing. And then

498
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:21,240
Speaker 3: much the same as you guys, I kind of stepped

499
00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:24,359
Speaker 3: into Naked Harvest and was like, no, I'm actually so

500
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:27,000
Speaker 3: creative in just you know, a different way.

501
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:28,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, I see.

502
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:31,200
Speaker 2: I guess when you're in something that you're passionate about

503
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:33,879
Speaker 2: and that you really enjoy, like this other side of

504
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:37,360
Speaker 2: you comes out where you just sort of realize, wow,

505
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:40,320
Speaker 2: I'm so not who I thought or what I thought

506
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:42,480
Speaker 2: I was because I was the same.

507
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:45,680
Speaker 1: I never thought I was creative at all.

508
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 2: I'm like, no, I'm very very structured, like very organized,

509
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:52,080
Speaker 2: dot point all those kinds of things. I'm like, perfect

510
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 2: for the business. But now players very much like that,

511
00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:57,240
Speaker 2: and she goes, I love it.

512
00:28:57,320 --> 00:29:01,840
Speaker 1: I enjoyed it. I'm like, well, thank god, Like I grew.

513
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:03,960
Speaker 4: Up being like, you know, you're the creative one, like

514
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:06,600
Speaker 4: you make jewelry, you design jewlry, like that's your thing.

515
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 4: You're creative. I don't know how to run a business,

516
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:11,720
Speaker 4: Like that's not for me. But then like when we

517
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 4: started getting involved in it, I'm like, but what's that

518
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:17,960
Speaker 4: money doing? Like let me tug over that, Like I'm

519
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:20,280
Speaker 4: too much of a micromnica that I'm like, I need

520
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:22,280
Speaker 4: to know what's happening in every aspect.

521
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:27,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, I love that, And that's well, that's you know,

522
00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:29,840
Speaker 3: the vice versa of Claire thinking, you know, you're just

523
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:32,720
Speaker 3: create you're the creative, and now you're like, no, actually,

524
00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:36,280
Speaker 3: I'm very business minded. And I think it's also realizing

525
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:39,520
Speaker 3: that you know, that doesn't have to be forever, Like

526
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:43,040
Speaker 3: there might come a time in the business where Claire's like, actually,

527
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:44,720
Speaker 3: you know what I want to you know, get more

528
00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:46,880
Speaker 3: into this or you might do that. Ge and I

529
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 3: love that you guys kind of have that flexibility and

530
00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:53,000
Speaker 3: it's kind of just like grown in shaped with you guys,

531
00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:55,920
Speaker 3: rather than yeah, being this like structured thing of this

532
00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 3: is how it should be.

533
00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:58,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah it works so well.

534
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:03,600
Speaker 5: Yeah that's R and C. Fam.

535
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:07,560
Speaker 3: Are you currently trying to grow your hair, get glowing

536
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:11,680
Speaker 3: skin and nails, or help your gut health, Well, look

537
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:15,800
Speaker 3: no further because Naked Harvest's collagen powder is here to

538
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:19,480
Speaker 3: change it all. Did you know that age twenty five,

539
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:23,680
Speaker 3: our body starts producing as much collagen itself and then

540
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:27,960
Speaker 3: that amount decreases every single year. So this is important

541
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:31,200
Speaker 3: to know because our skin, which is our biggest organ

542
00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:35,520
Speaker 3: is made up of seventy five percent collagen and guy's

543
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:38,840
Speaker 3: collagen is just a protein. So it does make sense

544
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:42,400
Speaker 3: why we start seeing signs of aging around this time.

545
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:46,240
Speaker 3: And this is why we called our collagen the beauty Alixa,

546
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:49,320
Speaker 3: because it really is a beauty supplement that is going

547
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:52,760
Speaker 3: to help you glow from the inside out. So even

548
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 3: though this supplement has amazing esthetic results, you've probably seen

549
00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:02,240
Speaker 3: my before and after hair photo and my nail snaps

550
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:06,080
Speaker 3: on my stories. But more than that, collagen is such

551
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:10,040
Speaker 3: an important building block to so many parts of our body.

552
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:13,360
Speaker 3: So not only is your skin going to glow, your

553
00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:16,800
Speaker 3: hair and nails grow, but it's also going to help

554
00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:20,600
Speaker 3: with your gut health and we all know how important

555
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:24,480
Speaker 3: that is. So there's two options with the Naked Harvest

556
00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:28,400
Speaker 3: Collagen alixa. There is a pure option, which I love

557
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:31,920
Speaker 3: to add to smoothies and my coffees, or a pine

558
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:35,959
Speaker 3: coconut option, which is so fresh and so delicious. I

559
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:38,920
Speaker 3: love having that at morning tea or in the afternoon.

560
00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:42,680
Speaker 3: So iron c Fam glow from the inside out with

565
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:04,760
Speaker 3: today's episode. So, guys, I want to chat about some

566
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:09,000
Speaker 3: tips and advice for other people wanting to start, you know,

567
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:14,080
Speaker 3: a business, a side hustle, a passion project. So let

568
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:17,520
Speaker 3: me pick your brain for just a moment. So if

569
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:20,640
Speaker 3: you could give one piece of advice, you know, to

570
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:23,480
Speaker 3: someone who does want to start a business side hustle,

571
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:25,960
Speaker 3: a passion project. What would it be.

572
00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:29,680
Speaker 4: My piece of advice would definitely be to save money

573
00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:32,000
Speaker 4: for marketing, which was something that we really didn't do

574
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:34,480
Speaker 4: in the start. We had no idea what we were doing,

575
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:37,720
Speaker 4: and so when we were like, Okay, this is how

576
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:40,320
Speaker 4: much money we have to start the business, this is

577
00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:42,920
Speaker 4: what it costs to start a website, and that sort

578
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:45,880
Speaker 4: of stuff, and then the rest is in stock, and

579
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:49,320
Speaker 4: we really really learned quickly that it doesn't work like

580
00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:52,680
Speaker 4: that and we should have put a lot of money

581
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:53,720
Speaker 4: aside for marketing.

582
00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:56,280
Speaker 5: So I would suggest that that's my advice.

583
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:01,600
Speaker 3: I love that, and that's something no one talks about,

584
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:05,440
Speaker 3: Like everyone talks about, you know, yeah, the startup costs.

585
00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:08,760
Speaker 3: And you know, even when I guess I talk about

586
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 3: Naked Harvest, like it was a lot of our what

587
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:14,800
Speaker 3: it took to actually create the product and you know,

588
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:18,200
Speaker 3: get the packaging and that sort of thing. But that

589
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:21,560
Speaker 3: is such a key thing because it's like, yeah, it's

590
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:24,280
Speaker 3: cool if you have the product or you have the thing,

591
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:26,480
Speaker 3: but it's like, how are you going to get the

592
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:27,880
Speaker 3: thing in people's faces?

593
00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:29,760
Speaker 1: Yeah? How are you going to sell it?

594
00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:30,640
Speaker 2: Yeah?

595
00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:34,400
Speaker 1: Yeah. Claire was actually really really smart.

596
00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:38,720
Speaker 2: So before we I think it was maybe a year

597
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:42,400
Speaker 2: before we even sort of thought about launching, Claire had

598
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:45,880
Speaker 2: started an Instagram page. So it was sort of around

599
00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:50,360
Speaker 2: like jewelry inspiration and sort of just reposting other people's

600
00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:52,720
Speaker 2: images and sharing what she loves and all that kind

601
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:56,920
Speaker 2: of things. So she built up a following their first

602
00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:59,160
Speaker 2: So then when we launched at.

603
00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:01,600
Speaker 1: Least we had sort of a bit of a platform there.

604
00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:04,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I love that, And can can I ask a

605
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:09,400
Speaker 3: question Claire? So with that Instagram, was it just inspo

606
00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:12,880
Speaker 3: stuff or did you give any lack free value? Like

607
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:14,640
Speaker 3: what sort of content was it?

608
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:18,640
Speaker 4: I think it was just in spos stuff at that time.

609
00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:21,960
Speaker 4: I mean it would have been like what twenty fourteen

610
00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:25,560
Speaker 4: maybe where it was just like heats of different people's jewelry,

611
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:30,000
Speaker 4: like heats of different jewelry inspiration for ringstacks and earstacks

612
00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:32,160
Speaker 4: and all that sort of stuff. I mean, if I'm

613
00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:34,880
Speaker 4: being completely honest, it was just a procrastination of me

614
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:37,439
Speaker 4: because I was studying at the time and I made

615
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:39,440
Speaker 4: it in secret. I didn't even tell g I had

616
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:41,600
Speaker 4: it until we had like five thousand followers on it.

617
00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:47,759
Speaker 4: I was like, I better tell you I've started. No.

618
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:50,760
Speaker 3: I love that, And I think that's also quite telling

619
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:54,440
Speaker 3: because I remember, it's funny because I'm just having a

620
00:34:54,520 --> 00:35:01,640
Speaker 3: download of I've had Priscilla who started Banging Body the

621
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:06,359
Speaker 3: skincare line, and she said, because you know, I kind

622
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:08,319
Speaker 3: of asked her the question. A lot of people that

623
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:10,560
Speaker 3: come to me and they'll be like, oh, yeah, Georgia,

624
00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:12,560
Speaker 3: it's all, well, you started a business, but you know,

625
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:15,960
Speaker 3: you're an influencer, You've got an audience, and I'm like, yeah,

626
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:18,239
Speaker 3: but there's so many other people who have started, you know,

627
00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:20,960
Speaker 3: a business who don't already have an audience. And she

628
00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:24,759
Speaker 3: did a similar thing where she started in Instagram just

629
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:28,160
Speaker 3: for inspo and also gave a lot of free value,

630
00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:30,360
Speaker 3: so she was giving out a lot of like skin

631
00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:34,480
Speaker 3: tips and whatnot, and had like there was a reason

632
00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:38,120
Speaker 3: to follow that account before they then introduce, you know,

633
00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:42,160
Speaker 3: the skincare line. But I think Claire, it's interesting with

634
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:46,000
Speaker 3: that timing because that was definitely a time on Instagram

635
00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:49,640
Speaker 3: where you would follow a lot of those inspo you

636
00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:52,680
Speaker 3: know pages just for pretty pitches and that sort of

637
00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:56,279
Speaker 3: thing too. So yeah, very good, very good little nick.

638
00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:59,680
Speaker 2: Then yeah, I think, yeah, that's a great way to

639
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:01,720
Speaker 2: start to sort of build an audience if you are

640
00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:05,680
Speaker 2: thinking about starting a business, get your social sort of

641
00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:09,000
Speaker 2: you know, get in front of people, whether it's giving

642
00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:12,760
Speaker 2: tips or just posting inspo, just something I guess.

643
00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:15,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, if I was starting out, I would just be

644
00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:19,319
Speaker 4: going crazy on TikTok on like giving out sorry not

645
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:23,920
Speaker 4: in free like value information, and I'd just be throwing

646
00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:25,239
Speaker 4: it on TikTok all the time.

647
00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:28,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean I should be doing that anyway.

648
00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:32,239
Speaker 3: But you know, I like us saying that, and we're like,

649
00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:36,239
Speaker 3: we're on Instagram, so I feel the exact same way.

650
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:40,480
Speaker 3: But like just to interject there, to piggyback on you

651
00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:43,520
Speaker 3: guys too, Like that's something I will say to people

652
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:47,920
Speaker 3: before I monetized you know, my Instagram or started Naked

653
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:51,200
Speaker 3: Harvest or anything like that. Is like I was giving

654
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:57,319
Speaker 3: free value content for like seven years, so people think, oh,

655
00:36:57,440 --> 00:36:59,920
Speaker 3: I just like create something I put out and people

656
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:02,680
Speaker 3: should buy. And it's like there is a bit of

657
00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:07,080
Speaker 3: a strategy behind. There's got you know, building community, there's

658
00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:09,719
Speaker 3: a reason why people you know want to support you

659
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:12,120
Speaker 3: and that sort of thing. So yeah, I'm glad you

660
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:15,080
Speaker 3: guys touched on that. But gee, what is your piece

661
00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:15,680
Speaker 3: of advice.

662
00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:19,240
Speaker 1: So my one thing is to just start.

663
00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:22,719
Speaker 2: And one of my sort of other favorite quotes I

664
00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:26,600
Speaker 2: guess that ties into that is one day or day one.

665
00:37:26,920 --> 00:37:29,359
Speaker 2: So I think it's really important, no matter what it is,

666
00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:30,719
Speaker 2: to just start on.

667
00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:32,440
Speaker 5: No.

668
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:35,440
Speaker 3: I love that, and that's even you know what you

669
00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:40,160
Speaker 3: guys were saying about you didn't necessarily have the funds

670
00:37:40,239 --> 00:37:45,600
Speaker 3: to put out Ellen low El Helen Brost right away. Sorry, guys,

671
00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:48,080
Speaker 3: it's like three pm in the afternoon, a good day

672
00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:55,879
Speaker 3: at the start, So you know, you did the wholesaling

673
00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:58,200
Speaker 3: thing first, and you just started. You got the foot

674
00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:01,359
Speaker 3: in the door and you kept bilding momentum from there.

675
00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:03,600
Speaker 3: So amazing piece of advice.

676
00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:07,200
Speaker 2: I mean I think we started with maybe three grand

677
00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:08,399
Speaker 2: each or something like that.

678
00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:11,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, which already that went to stock. So you did

679
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:13,000
Speaker 1: laughed very long.

680
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:20,320
Speaker 3: We soon realized I could imagine I couldn't. So I

681
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:26,160
Speaker 3: love that. And so what would your biggest lesson in

682
00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:32,200
Speaker 3: business or you know, together, like, what would your biggest

683
00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:34,080
Speaker 3: lesson be on this journey?

684
00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:36,959
Speaker 4: I think for me it was about how we would

685
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:40,280
Speaker 4: work together. I mean, you listen to so many interviews

686
00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:42,000
Speaker 4: and different things where they're always like why are you

687
00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:44,600
Speaker 4: doing it in a partnership? Partnerships always fail in this

688
00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:46,320
Speaker 4: and that, and so if we're.

689
00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:49,320
Speaker 2: Your friends or families, like, there's all these like warnings

690
00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:49,719
Speaker 2: out there.

691
00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:52,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, So I think the biggest one for us

692
00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:55,720
Speaker 4: was just learning how we work together, what our strength

693
00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:58,759
Speaker 4: and weaknesses are, and then also like things that we

694
00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:01,879
Speaker 4: had never thought of, like how does some like how

695
00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:04,200
Speaker 4: does g work when she's going through grief? How do

696
00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:07,240
Speaker 4: I work when I'm going through grief? Like what happens

697
00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:09,720
Speaker 4: when somebody needs to step back? Will the other person

698
00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:12,120
Speaker 4: step in for them? So I think the biggest lesson

699
00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:15,200
Speaker 4: for us was like how to you know, respect each

700
00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:18,240
Speaker 4: other's feelings and work around that. But the most important

701
00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:20,840
Speaker 4: thing I think we had was that our foundation was

702
00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:25,480
Speaker 4: a really good friendship and like, to us, that mattered.

703
00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:26,080
Speaker 5: More than the business.

704
00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:27,880
Speaker 4: So it was kind of like we still keep that

705
00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:30,560
Speaker 4: as you know, like you and your health comes first

706
00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:33,080
Speaker 4: and then the business is second. So we kind of

707
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:36,080
Speaker 4: it's works really well because we pick up when the

708
00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:38,120
Speaker 4: other one needs time off and different things like that.

709
00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:40,440
Speaker 4: So I think that was probably the biggest lesson. It

710
00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:42,920
Speaker 4: was like, oh, I never knew that I would need

711
00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:46,720
Speaker 4: to know like how do works when she's got personal

712
00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:47,520
Speaker 4: stuff going on?

713
00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:51,120
Speaker 3: No, I love that. And that's also like from the

714
00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:55,920
Speaker 3: start you were very intentional, intentionable about like, you know,

715
00:39:56,400 --> 00:40:00,239
Speaker 3: this is a partnership, I've got to make sure I'm

716
00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:03,720
Speaker 3: listening to the other person. And also I guess having

717
00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:08,080
Speaker 3: the boundaries in, you know, being very open with communication,

718
00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:12,480
Speaker 3: knowing where you're both at, and putting that relationship first,

719
00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:15,480
Speaker 3: which would then like and me and Cooper are the

720
00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:20,040
Speaker 3: exact same where you can tell when we're not on

721
00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:22,760
Speaker 3: the same page and when we are on the same page,

722
00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:25,279
Speaker 3: and it obviously feels so much better. And so when

723
00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:28,040
Speaker 3: we're not, we kind of sit down and go, what's

724
00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:30,799
Speaker 3: happening here, what's happening in your life, what's happening in

725
00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:34,120
Speaker 3: my life. Let's get this sorted. And then the business

726
00:40:34,160 --> 00:40:37,400
Speaker 3: side of things always kind of reflects.

727
00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:38,760
Speaker 1: That, Yeah for sure.

728
00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:44,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like our policies always always be honest, don't you know,

729
00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:47,719
Speaker 2: don't worry about what it is, come to me, communicate

730
00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:50,319
Speaker 2: with me, be honest, like if it's whether it's an

731
00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:54,239
Speaker 2: idea or something that's happening personally, Like we've always try

732
00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:55,880
Speaker 2: and be on that same wavelength.

733
00:40:56,040 --> 00:41:00,799
Speaker 3: Yeah, amazing and So what would your biggest lesson in business.

734
00:41:00,719 --> 00:41:07,840
Speaker 2: G I think going sort of back is to really

735
00:41:08,320 --> 00:41:14,160
Speaker 2: plan your money, so know where it's going, know where

736
00:41:14,160 --> 00:41:18,239
Speaker 2: you need to spend it first, prioritize finances. Like that's

737
00:41:18,239 --> 00:41:21,560
Speaker 2: something that we've learned along the way. But if we

738
00:41:21,719 --> 00:41:24,680
Speaker 2: sort of had that advice in the beginning and really

739
00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:29,640
Speaker 2: structured our accounts and everything from the beginning, it would

740
00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:31,600
Speaker 2: have made it so much easier.

741
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:35,359
Speaker 3: I keep saying, I love that, but it's like that's

742
00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:39,480
Speaker 3: such like a realistic piece of advice. And I definitely

743
00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:41,960
Speaker 3: resonate with that because I remember there was like kind

744
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:46,920
Speaker 3: of a point in Naked Harvest where maybe six months

745
00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:51,919
Speaker 3: in and you know, me and Cooper were braining, braining, brainstorming.

746
00:41:56,680 --> 00:41:59,919
Speaker 3: We were brainstorming, you know, how do we scale net

747
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:04,400
Speaker 3: Naked Harvest because at this point Cooper had less left

748
00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:08,000
Speaker 3: his job or his business sorry as a plumber, and

749
00:42:08,160 --> 00:42:10,840
Speaker 3: it was kind of like this needed to work out

750
00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:13,480
Speaker 3: otherwise he'd have to sell his house sort of situation.

751
00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:17,120
Speaker 3: So yeah, we sat down and we looked at everything,

752
00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:21,040
Speaker 3: and you know what was very interesting is it because

753
00:42:21,040 --> 00:42:22,960
Speaker 3: we were like, you know, how do we get more sales?

754
00:42:23,040 --> 00:42:26,080
Speaker 3: How do we scale the business. And when we actually

755
00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:28,080
Speaker 3: sat down and we looked at the money and we

756
00:42:28,120 --> 00:42:31,200
Speaker 3: looked at the numbers, we realized there was lots of

757
00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:34,359
Speaker 3: places that money was kind of bleeding in that we

758
00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:37,759
Speaker 3: were kind of spending too much or wasting or you know,

759
00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:40,719
Speaker 3: could have had cheaper options, bought more stock and got

760
00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:43,120
Speaker 3: it at a cheaper price, and you know those sorts

761
00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:46,600
Speaker 3: of things. And so we did that well, to be

762
00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:51,120
Speaker 3: completely honest, mostly Cooper, he's really good at and half

763
00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:55,440
Speaker 3: for that exercise, you know, we had saved thirty percent,

764
00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:59,560
Speaker 3: which imagine, you know, a thirty percent increase in sales.

765
00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:04,040
Speaker 3: That's crazy, that's you know, that's so incredible. And we

766
00:43:04,200 --> 00:43:07,920
Speaker 3: had just done that by like being very like what's

767
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:13,160
Speaker 3: actually happening inside. And I think also especially creative people

768
00:43:13,239 --> 00:43:16,120
Speaker 3: where that's not their zone of genius, can kind of

769
00:43:16,200 --> 00:43:19,000
Speaker 3: lack and ignore it and just go, yeah, oh, we

770
00:43:19,040 --> 00:43:20,960
Speaker 3: need to make more sales than we need to do

771
00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:24,719
Speaker 3: you know this and that. Whereas if you're yeah, very

772
00:43:24,719 --> 00:43:28,360
Speaker 3: transparent and you're very onto that side of things, you

773
00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:31,879
Speaker 3: can actually save money, be smarter with money, so then

774
00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:36,200
Speaker 3: there's not so much pressure on making the money. I

775
00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:37,320
Speaker 3: guess if that makes sense.

776
00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:38,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, One hundred percent.

777
00:43:39,080 --> 00:43:42,680
Speaker 2: So the way that Claire did it was to sort

778
00:43:42,680 --> 00:43:46,920
Speaker 2: of whatever we were sort of earning, it was all

779
00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:51,520
Speaker 2: split up into percentages and put into separate accounts. So

780
00:43:51,600 --> 00:43:53,839
Speaker 2: that's and then we're like, okay, so this is how

781
00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:56,200
Speaker 2: much a budget we have for this certain thing and

782
00:43:56,800 --> 00:43:59,399
Speaker 2: et cetera. So and that's sort of how we still

783
00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:02,560
Speaker 2: do and it works so well now, and were just like,

784
00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:05,359
Speaker 2: thank god that Claire works that out.

785
00:44:06,640 --> 00:44:12,760
Speaker 3: Thank god. Claire and I strict with the percentages of going.

786
00:44:13,239 --> 00:44:15,440
Speaker 3: You know, we have this amount of money for marketing,

787
00:44:15,520 --> 00:44:16,839
Speaker 3: but like very strict with it.

788
00:44:17,080 --> 00:44:19,400
Speaker 4: Not really like the main things we were strict about

789
00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:21,640
Speaker 4: was just making sure our tax was decided.

790
00:44:23,920 --> 00:44:26,720
Speaker 3: Claire's not really I didn't even look at those numbers,

791
00:44:26,719 --> 00:44:27,280
Speaker 3: to be honest.

792
00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:33,319
Speaker 4: No, I mean I not like they are percentages and

793
00:44:33,360 --> 00:44:34,960
Speaker 4: I do it twice a month, so I just go

794
00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:36,840
Speaker 4: every twice a month. I just look at the accounts

795
00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:38,799
Speaker 4: and then I transfer the money to those accounts, so

796
00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:40,640
Speaker 4: we know, if you look into it, this is how

797
00:44:40,719 --> 00:44:43,600
Speaker 4: much money we've got for marketing whatever, campaigns, like different

798
00:44:43,640 --> 00:44:46,920
Speaker 4: things like that. But I mean in saying that, if

799
00:44:46,920 --> 00:44:48,799
Speaker 4: we need a bit more in this account, I just

800
00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:51,120
Speaker 4: transfer it in. So that's what I mean by not

801
00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:52,320
Speaker 4: that strict.

802
00:44:52,440 --> 00:44:52,719
Speaker 1: We do.

803
00:44:53,160 --> 00:44:55,759
Speaker 2: There's a bit of flexibility on how we can move

804
00:44:55,800 --> 00:44:56,959
Speaker 2: it around to make it work.

805
00:44:57,200 --> 00:44:59,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, what's coming up. But the main thing is that

806
00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:00,000
Speaker 1: the money's there.

807
00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:05,759
Speaker 3: I think that's also just a tip in itself of

808
00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:08,320
Speaker 3: going make sure you have enough money for tax.

809
00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:09,360
Speaker 1: Yes.

810
00:45:09,680 --> 00:45:15,680
Speaker 3: Absolutely, that's like our first like full financial year of

811
00:45:15,760 --> 00:45:18,600
Speaker 3: naked harvest. Like I didn't even think about tax and

812
00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:21,279
Speaker 3: then we got our tax fill and I was like, oh, whoa,

813
00:45:21,560 --> 00:45:23,120
Speaker 3: I didn't. I didn't realize this.

814
00:45:23,239 --> 00:45:25,240
Speaker 5: Oh, like I knew.

815
00:45:25,080 --> 00:45:28,239
Speaker 3: It was a thing. But you know it's lucky. You know,

816
00:45:28,400 --> 00:45:30,120
Speaker 3: you have good three months to pay it because as.

817
00:45:30,160 --> 00:45:32,799
Speaker 5: Well, Yeah, oh that terrifies me.

818
00:45:36,200 --> 00:45:39,719
Speaker 3: Now we do it like you guys where it's transferred

819
00:45:39,800 --> 00:45:43,040
Speaker 3: every single month into a separate account. So look, we're

820
00:45:43,040 --> 00:45:46,680
Speaker 3: not doing that again. It's fun, all right, guys. So

821
00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:49,520
Speaker 3: before we wrap up the interview and just like finish

822
00:45:49,560 --> 00:45:54,040
Speaker 3: off chatting about you know, my my collection, I love

823
00:45:54,080 --> 00:45:58,120
Speaker 3: those with you guys, and just you know the process

824
00:45:58,160 --> 00:46:01,640
Speaker 3: of that. Can you give us one quick tip to

825
00:46:01,800 --> 00:46:04,280
Speaker 3: growing a business?

826
00:46:03,120 --> 00:46:04,759
Speaker 5: Okay?

827
00:46:06,080 --> 00:46:10,719
Speaker 4: I would definitely say the quickest thing for us is

828
00:46:10,719 --> 00:46:12,839
Speaker 4: probably working with influences, like.

829
00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:23,960
Speaker 5: It's it's still you're welcome. Yeah, it's still works so

830
00:46:24,040 --> 00:46:24,600
Speaker 5: well for us.

831
00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:28,160
Speaker 4: I think that being like why when we're working around

832
00:46:28,160 --> 00:46:30,879
Speaker 4: our collaborations, like, that's something that's really important to us

833
00:46:31,239 --> 00:46:35,040
Speaker 4: because it's not just like working with you, it's your audience,

834
00:46:35,160 --> 00:46:36,640
Speaker 4: it's your friends.

835
00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:37,399
Speaker 5: It's that sort of thing.

836
00:46:37,440 --> 00:46:39,680
Speaker 4: So I think that has been something that's been really

837
00:46:39,680 --> 00:46:43,120
Speaker 4: beneficial just to getting our brand out there, because you know,

838
00:46:43,160 --> 00:46:45,719
Speaker 4: we've put so much time and energy into making sure

839
00:46:45,760 --> 00:46:47,360
Speaker 4: that the quality is just so amazing.

840
00:46:47,400 --> 00:46:50,000
Speaker 5: We just want people to trust us and we're like,

841
00:46:50,160 --> 00:46:53,040
Speaker 5: please just like test it for yourself and I promise

842
00:46:53,160 --> 00:46:54,400
Speaker 5: you you will see.

843
00:46:54,880 --> 00:46:58,920
Speaker 4: But yeah, yeah, So I think that instead of just

844
00:46:58,920 --> 00:47:01,200
Speaker 4: like running ads on say and things like that, like

845
00:47:01,600 --> 00:47:04,480
Speaker 4: actually getting it into people's hands and getting them to

846
00:47:04,719 --> 00:47:07,360
Speaker 4: wear it and test it and actually believe in the product,

847
00:47:07,640 --> 00:47:10,120
Speaker 4: that has definitely been the most beneficial thing for us.

848
00:47:10,320 --> 00:47:10,680
Speaker 1: Yeah.

849
00:47:10,719 --> 00:47:13,759
Speaker 2: And to kind of add to that, working with influencers,

850
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:16,239
Speaker 2: We're not like we never just wanted to work with

851
00:47:16,280 --> 00:47:18,399
Speaker 2: anybody and just do like a mass send out. It

852
00:47:18,480 --> 00:47:22,080
Speaker 2: was actually really like specific and who aligns with our

853
00:47:22,120 --> 00:47:26,239
Speaker 2: business and just reaching out and saying, if you want

854
00:47:26,280 --> 00:47:28,799
Speaker 2: to try it, choose the pieces that you love that

855
00:47:28,880 --> 00:47:32,080
Speaker 2: resonate with you. We didn't want to push certain products

856
00:47:32,080 --> 00:47:34,520
Speaker 2: onto people. It was more about what do you want

857
00:47:34,520 --> 00:47:36,720
Speaker 2: to wear, what's your style, and what's going to feel

858
00:47:36,760 --> 00:47:40,359
Speaker 2: like most authentic to them, instead of trying to just

859
00:47:40,600 --> 00:47:42,879
Speaker 2: do this push out thing where you see a lot

860
00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:44,960
Speaker 2: of brands do. But we just really wanted to be

861
00:47:45,080 --> 00:47:46,359
Speaker 2: like aligned.

862
00:47:47,480 --> 00:47:50,680
Speaker 3: And I think that's super important. And I even remember

863
00:47:50,800 --> 00:47:53,840
Speaker 3: when you guys approached me. I tried the stuff first.

864
00:47:54,320 --> 00:47:56,359
Speaker 3: I tried the pieces first. I remember I picked them

865
00:47:56,360 --> 00:47:59,040
Speaker 3: from the website and was like, oh, okay, yeah, like beautiful,

866
00:47:59,120 --> 00:48:02,400
Speaker 3: I'll try them. It wasn't like hey, how much of

867
00:48:02,440 --> 00:48:06,000
Speaker 3: your posts or you know, coming in like very direct.

868
00:48:06,040 --> 00:48:07,960
Speaker 3: It's like, we want you to try it, we want

869
00:48:07,960 --> 00:48:09,759
Speaker 3: you to love it, and then you know how you

870
00:48:09,760 --> 00:48:12,920
Speaker 3: feel from there. Let's then talk. And then also another

871
00:48:12,960 --> 00:48:15,080
Speaker 3: big thing that I just want to add with you guys,

872
00:48:15,280 --> 00:48:19,360
Speaker 3: is I even remember because right at the start I

873
00:48:19,360 --> 00:48:21,880
Speaker 3: would have been chatting to you Claire Hey, so we

874
00:48:21,920 --> 00:48:27,160
Speaker 3: would chat over email and then well I have a

875
00:48:27,200 --> 00:48:30,680
Speaker 3: partnerships manager now so not as direct, but at the

876
00:48:30,760 --> 00:48:35,839
Speaker 3: start I remember even our emails. I was like we

877
00:48:35,840 --> 00:48:40,959
Speaker 3: were like I guess having a relationship, and I could

878
00:48:41,040 --> 00:48:44,520
Speaker 3: really feel that in the email rather than it being

879
00:48:44,600 --> 00:48:48,120
Speaker 3: like a business transaction. And I think that's what, you know,

880
00:48:48,239 --> 00:48:50,000
Speaker 3: made me want to work with the brand, is like

881
00:48:50,080 --> 00:48:52,719
Speaker 3: I could feel that, you know, not only were you

882
00:48:53,200 --> 00:48:55,920
Speaker 3: in there in the trenches creating the jury like all

883
00:48:55,960 --> 00:48:59,200
Speaker 3: those sorts of things, but also creating these partnerships with

884
00:48:59,320 --> 00:49:02,919
Speaker 3: people who could you know, get out the word world word. Wow.

885
00:49:03,920 --> 00:49:06,400
Speaker 3: It's really important. So I love that.

886
00:49:07,760 --> 00:49:08,919
Speaker 5: Oh, I love that so much.

887
00:49:08,960 --> 00:49:11,279
Speaker 4: Thank you, Like I appreciate that. I'm glad that you

888
00:49:11,320 --> 00:49:13,000
Speaker 4: could get that through that.

889
00:49:15,880 --> 00:49:18,319
Speaker 3: We love a smiley face, don't we, Claire, I.

890
00:49:18,280 --> 00:49:21,279
Speaker 5: Know, a smiling emo and too many exits.

891
00:49:23,600 --> 00:49:26,200
Speaker 3: I'm the exact the same. I'm just so precious.

892
00:49:26,800 --> 00:49:27,040
Speaker 4: Yeah.

893
00:49:28,040 --> 00:49:31,399
Speaker 3: But to finish off this interview, first of all, thank

894
00:49:31,440 --> 00:49:34,040
Speaker 3: you so much, guys. It has been so lovely to

895
00:49:34,800 --> 00:49:38,480
Speaker 3: you know, chat and zoom and see your faces even

896
00:49:38,840 --> 00:49:42,920
Speaker 3: were on lockdown. But I also just wanted to do

897
00:49:43,120 --> 00:49:45,600
Speaker 3: a bit of an outro and just tell my community

898
00:49:45,840 --> 00:49:51,480
Speaker 3: about our beautiful pieces. And so when we were, you know,

899
00:49:51,600 --> 00:49:56,919
Speaker 3: chatting about this collection, and it was, oh wow, so long.

900
00:49:57,040 --> 00:49:58,800
Speaker 3: It does take a while, doesn't it, guys?

901
00:49:59,120 --> 00:50:01,360
Speaker 5: It does actually in a pandemic.

902
00:50:02,040 --> 00:50:05,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, no, but it's really incredible because you know,

903
00:50:05,920 --> 00:50:08,520
Speaker 3: you guys were like, you know, we want something that

904
00:50:08,800 --> 00:50:13,200
Speaker 3: feels authentic to you, and so we uh, well, I

905
00:50:13,360 --> 00:50:17,160
Speaker 3: chose pieces that really had I don't know. It's funny

906
00:50:17,160 --> 00:50:19,920
Speaker 3: because I was like, when I'm trying to explain these pieces,

907
00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:22,960
Speaker 3: I realize, you know, they're just pieces of jury, but

908
00:50:23,080 --> 00:50:29,239
Speaker 3: also they do come from, you know, this background of me. Well,

909
00:50:29,280 --> 00:50:31,239
Speaker 3: I guess I'll just go straight into it. But like,

910
00:50:31,719 --> 00:50:35,359
Speaker 3: so the power necklace and I'm like holding it up

911
00:50:35,360 --> 00:50:39,640
Speaker 3: in the camera, bit I see you guys, go so

912
00:50:40,520 --> 00:50:41,600
Speaker 3: on the website so.

913
00:50:41,560 --> 00:50:42,760
Speaker 1: You can see it on the website.

914
00:50:42,760 --> 00:50:43,040
Speaker 5: Guys.

915
00:50:44,480 --> 00:50:48,120
Speaker 3: So we have a beautiful statement necklace I would call it,

916
00:50:48,160 --> 00:50:52,319
Speaker 3: and it's called my Power and it has the beautiful

917
00:50:53,000 --> 00:50:55,440
Speaker 3: no one is you, that is your power. You guys

918
00:50:55,440 --> 00:50:59,399
Speaker 3: know that's my favorite saying. And honestly, I've been wearing

919
00:50:59,480 --> 00:51:02,319
Speaker 3: it like grave side up, and every time I see

920
00:51:02,320 --> 00:51:05,359
Speaker 3: it in the mirror, it's just it has so much

921
00:51:05,440 --> 00:51:08,400
Speaker 3: meaning to me and it makes me smile. And I

922
00:51:08,400 --> 00:51:14,040
Speaker 3: guess the whole collection. I loved this concept of circles

923
00:51:14,239 --> 00:51:19,000
Speaker 3: and like the the beaded look because of it being

924
00:51:19,120 --> 00:51:25,359
Speaker 3: so simple, bit so bold and so and also like

925
00:51:25,480 --> 00:51:27,760
Speaker 3: the girls asked me for a statement about the collection,

926
00:51:28,280 --> 00:51:30,440
Speaker 3: and I had the big feel. I was like, I'm

927
00:51:30,440 --> 00:51:31,520
Speaker 3: getting way too deep.

928
00:51:33,160 --> 00:51:36,680
Speaker 1: I love it. I tend to get carried away too.

929
00:51:36,800 --> 00:51:37,759
Speaker 1: So I feel you on.

930
00:51:37,760 --> 00:51:40,960
Speaker 3: That, and I think, like, you know, in my life,

931
00:51:41,200 --> 00:51:44,680
Speaker 3: it's everything is very much intertwined with you know, my

932
00:51:44,760 --> 00:51:48,719
Speaker 3: personal beliefs, and when you're wearing something that does have

933
00:51:49,000 --> 00:51:52,239
Speaker 3: meaning to you and does feel very special and you

934
00:51:52,280 --> 00:51:56,239
Speaker 3: know is quality, it's yeah, it makes you feel really empowered.

935
00:51:56,280 --> 00:52:01,720
Speaker 3: And so the collection is basically yes. So the concept

936
00:52:01,840 --> 00:52:06,279
Speaker 3: was circles beaded and that was my kind of I guess,

937
00:52:06,400 --> 00:52:11,399
Speaker 3: understanding of personal development and my journey and realizing that

938
00:52:11,920 --> 00:52:14,719
Speaker 3: it's never ending. It's not like we get to this

939
00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:18,560
Speaker 3: end destination and you know, we know everything about ourselves,

940
00:52:18,600 --> 00:52:22,400
Speaker 3: We've learned all the lessons and we're successful. It's about

941
00:52:22,960 --> 00:52:26,960
Speaker 3: like kind of Claire said with your first quote, which

942
00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:31,400
Speaker 3: was beautiful, but like its success is like constantly working

943
00:52:31,400 --> 00:52:36,640
Speaker 3: on yourself, constantly realizing that life is like ebbs and flows,

944
00:52:36,880 --> 00:52:40,120
Speaker 3: and yeah, not being about the end destination, but really

945
00:52:40,560 --> 00:52:43,840
Speaker 3: enjoying the journey. It's kind of like never ending, So

946
00:52:44,080 --> 00:52:47,520
Speaker 3: that's kind of why, Yeah, why, I really loved this

947
00:52:47,680 --> 00:52:52,279
Speaker 3: concept of choosing circles and beads and having something that

948
00:52:52,440 --> 00:52:55,640
Speaker 3: is simple but bold and beautiful.

949
00:52:56,960 --> 00:52:58,640
Speaker 5: It is beautiful.

950
00:52:59,280 --> 00:53:02,839
Speaker 3: And yes, so they are pieces that you can, like

951
00:53:02,880 --> 00:53:06,080
Speaker 3: I said, guys, I'm super lazy. These are pieces that

952
00:53:06,400 --> 00:53:10,720
Speaker 3: you will purchase and you can wear them day and night.

953
00:53:10,920 --> 00:53:13,000
Speaker 3: So you know, you can wear them with your work. Yeah,

954
00:53:13,200 --> 00:53:15,520
Speaker 3: you can wear them even I wear them with my

955
00:53:15,600 --> 00:53:18,880
Speaker 3: active wear, and then you can really dress up. And

956
00:53:19,400 --> 00:53:22,200
Speaker 3: I feel like they're very classy and they're very simple

957
00:53:22,239 --> 00:53:26,160
Speaker 3: but beautiful and I'm just obsessed. I And also, I've

958
00:53:26,160 --> 00:53:29,440
