#57 Jess & Diandra | How Two Young Mums Ditched Their 9 To 5 & Made $500K In Their First Year!

In this episode I sat down with the founders of The Best Kind, Jess & Diandra. The Best Kind (TBK) are known for their high-quality, yet affordable personalised leather accessories.

Both within their second half of maternity leave and dreading the thought of having to go back to their corporate 9-5's the duo decided that they wanted more out of their lives and didn't want to slip back into a job that treated them like a number and didn't fit their lifestyle. They wanted more freedom, flexibility and time to spend with the family and most importantly they didn't want to feel like their potential would be capped.

After coming up with the idea for TBK, the pair would go onto to do 6 figures in revenue within the 6 months & over $500k within their first year of trading. They now have got a team of 7 and are continuing to grow in both retail and e-commerce. 

In this episode:
