Trailer ~ Say hello to A Friend of Mine

Like many expectant mums, Sophie Doyle was struggling to find the perfect nappy bag. Rather than settle, Sophie took the matter into her own hands by sketching her vision of the ultimate nappy bag and having it made in Bali. 

It wasn’t long before her friends wanted that same stylish and versatile nappy bag. 

And so, in 2016, Alf The Label was born.

What started out as a hobby with an initial run of 50 bags has quickly scaled into a million dollar business with a customer base that stretches across the globe.

Sophie shares with us her start up story, the challenges of running a business from Western Australia, managing a serious health issue as well her advice on the importance of branding.

Let me introduce you to my friend Sophie from Alf The Label.

There are many ways to spend a two hour train trip home from Melbourne to Bendigo.

Most will listen to a podcast, mindlessly scroll Instagram or close their eyes and give in to the gentle rock of the carriage, Jess Wiltshire secured a small personal loan and resigned from her job with a dream of opening a shop dedicated to indoor house plants.

From leaving school at 16 to work in a cemetery to launching Bendigo's first dedicated indoor plant shop, Jess shares with us her start up story plus her top three indoor plants and how to keep them alive.

Meet my friend Jess from Living Gifts Bendigo [www.livinggiftsbendigo.com.au].
