Transcript
- 0:00Welcome back. Here are the six quick questions. So question number one is, what's your why? Why are you doing what you're doing every single day? To help the millions of people who don't feel good or don't feel as though they look their best.
- 0:28to help people look and feel their best. Gosh, it's amazing. You can help. Absolutely. Question number two is, what has been your favourite marketing moment so far? I guess winning the Fast Company's Most Innovative Award for the Lima Laser. That was a complete spine-tingling moment.
- 0:58That was a good one. Congratulations, by the way. Thank you. Question number three, what is your go-to business resource if you were to pick a book or a podcast or a newsletter? I guess I probably wouldn't pick any of those, and I'd have to say the team at Leanman. Everyone has got incredible insight, has come from different industries, all different industries. You know, it's not necessarily from health or beauty.
- 1:27I think applying those learnings to a different industry is where you get the magic. I love that. Question number four is how do you win the day? What are your AM or PM rituals and habits that keep you feeling happy and successful and motivated? Lima. The Lima supplement, I'll tell you, I was, I told you before, I just had a baby a few weeks ago. When you're pregnant, you can't take Lima.
- 1:57because you can't take anything, nothing's been really tested on pregnant women. So I had to stop taking MIMA for nine months. And I got to, when I stopped taking it, two weeks in after stopping taking it, I was thinking, actually I feel pretty good. Maybe, I don't know what it was doing. I was thinking, maybe I don't need it anymore. Anyway, like four weeks later,
- 2:23I couldn't sleep. You know, everything went back to what I was before I started taking Lima. So I really appreciated having a baby and starting taking Lima again. And it genuinely gets me through the day. Goodness. Can't wait to try it.
- 2:45Question number five is what's been your worst money mistake in the business? Oh, God, this is something that I genuinely did. When we moved into our new head office last September, I bought the world's most ridiculously priced chair for just as you walked in. And it really was the world's biggest waste of money.
- 3:11And when it arrived, I realized it was a doll's chair that I'd bought. It arrived in this little box. What? I just looked at the picture. I hadn't looked at the measurements. And it was actually a doll's chair that I bought. So I sent it back. How much was it? It was £6,000. £6,000.
- 3:35yeah that is so funny oh my god at least you're able to return it my goodness I know well I think I I've I think in the end I just annoyed the guy so much that he took it back because he just I don't want to hear from this woman again ever
- 3:58Oh my gosh. I feel like this question, that answer blends with my final question, which is, but maybe you have some more, is what's just a crazy story that you can share, good, bad or otherwise, in your entrepreneurial journey so far? Well, I think I've really exposed myself with the last question. So I'll just say something good for those. I guess waking up and seeing Kim Kardashian using the laser,
- 4:29Oh, great one. When did that happen? A few weeks ago. Oh, my gosh. Holy moly. That is crazy. I'll leave on a positive note. Okay.
- 4:42I watched an interview with her recently where she was saying, you know, she doesn't get fillers and she doesn't get any, have any work done. She was saying, you know, I invest in good quality products. She's like, I spend a lot on my skincare, but I don't have like, I don't know what the term is, but like work done on my face. I just invest in the best. Interesting. So, yeah, I think I will never buy another channel ever again.
- 5:12Oh my gosh. Well, thank you so much, Lucy, for coming on the show and telling us all about Lima. It sounds absolutely amazing. Such a crazy product for health and wellness and sleep. My goodness. Thank you so much. No, thank you so much for having me. It's been a real, real pleasure. I've really enjoyed it.
