Who is Heather Hasson and what is FIGS?
Heather Hassan turned that hustle into something so much bigger. She built Figs alongside her co-founder, Trina Spear, and together they turned healthcare apparel into a billion-dollar business. They created scrubs that are stylish, colorful, comfortable, and they're made with their customers' top of mind. Figs is the ultimate if-you-know-you-know brand. And once you see it, you can't unsee it. They're everywhere. I can't wait for you to hear this conversation with Heather. Let's dive in. How are we doing? We're doing great. How are you? Really good. I'm so happy to meet you. When I had met Trina at G9... She may have mentioned it to you. I don't know. She was very surprised when I knew what FIGS was. She said, I have a company called FIGS. I said, I know FIGS. She goes, do you actually?
It was almost like a test.
Megan, how do you know FIGS?
Well, you guys have been around for a while. But any time that you see somebody either for... I think it transcends beyond hospitals. In someone's home, they have on FIGS uniforms. But also, I work with Children's Hospital LA. And I see a lot of the people wearing that. And you just saw that something shifted from... When I was young and you'd be in any sort of medical setting and you saw very ill-fitting scrubs that were probably not comfortable, too, things are looking a little more tailored. And I remember going, wow, that looks so different. And just knowing it and clocking it and seeing the little figs logo on there. So I just know your brand.
Oh, that's awesome. Yeah. I love that you know who we are. Honestly, like I think what you've created is so amazing. I was just watching your show the other day too. Oh, thank you. Because I'm a terrible cook. I can't cook anything, but I'll bring you lemonade or something like in the juice world. I could do that. Great. But you can teach me something probably.
