In this episode I speak to Becca Stearn, co-founder of Mustard Made, the global locker brand. Becca shares her honest and unconventional journey from an unplanned pregnancy in her university days to launching a successful, unique locker business with her sister that has gone onto global success. We delve into her non-linear path, the inspiration behind Mustard Made, and the challenges of scaling a company rapidly. Becca also discusses the mindset shifts required when your business grows faster than expected, the role of sustainability in her company, and the importance of hiring the right people. Her story is a brilliant reminder that you don’t need a perfect plan to build something substantial; you just need to keep taking the next steps and adapt as you grow.Find Mustard Made online here Find them on Instagram hereJoin the conversation with me on Instagram hereThe person that Becca shouted out was Fiona Killackey------------This episode is sponsored by ⁠Hawkins Laxton & Co⁠ - the personal branding and thought-leadership specialists supporting senior leaders, founders, and business owners to grow their professional profile in a tough and noisy market.
