Ep234: Science & Storytelling with Lisa Mullan

Lisa Mullan has a degree in Biochemistry, a Phd, and speaks two languages. She joined the Welcome Trust Genome Campus in Cambridge in 2001 and worked there as Scientific Training Officer until she had her daughter in December 2006 and became a stay at home Mum for 7 years. When her second child went to school, she focused her attention on an idea she had been quietly harbouring for a very long time: turning the chemicals that make up DNA into 'cuddlies' so she could share the information with younger children.  Impressive though that sounds (and a wonderful inspiration for women everywhere), like most of us, Lisa has had hurdles and obstacles to hinder her progress. This conversation sheds light on the journey and how it has been a longer and harder haul than she ever thought possible, in terms of work, mindset change and confidence building.  Here's the link to Lisa's book for primary children: https://dinkyamigos.com/book/ Connect with us over on our Facebook page, The Mental Wealth Factory and join the Facebook Group, Mid Life Reinvention to access resources &amp; training as soon as they're announced.

In conversation with Lisa Mullan

Today I’m excited to release my chat with Lisa Mullan, owner and co-founder of Uwila Warrior in Boston, MA. Lisa’s company is leading the charge against uncomfortable underwear; we’ve carried her line at Forty Winks since close to the beginning and our customers come back for it over and over again.  In fact, we have one customer who just wrote and ordered: “every medium you have in that incredible thong.” She was referring to this thong which is in fact, “incredible” if you’re in the market (restocking soon, btw).Lisa and I talked before coronavirus hit, but there is so much in our chat that’s applicable to what we’re facing right now. I am struck by Lisa’s dedication to creating (and re-creating) the best possible product for her clients and by her decision to focus on steady growth even if it takes a while. She mentions the “long game” a couple of times throughout our chat and even then before I knew we’d have to shutter our store, this struck me as incredibly smart. It’s pretty much the mantra of every brick and mortar business owner; our shops and spaces are rarely an overnight success, right? These are long-term investments for us. Smart brick and mortar bosses don’t open thinking that we’re going to roll in dough immediately, we open because we want to create a space and a community that lasts for a long time. Now more than ever, it’s important to keep our focus on the long game.  What are we doing now to ensure that our businesses will be nimble enough to withstand this game-changer? How are we connecting with our customers, both established and new that will bring them back when our doors open again? As we navigate this pandemic as small business owners, as our brains are overloaded with loan applications, unemployment claims, past-due bills, and landlord drama, let’s encourage each other to focus on what matters most, creating beautiful connective customer experiences that will last way past this tightest of situations. I’d love to hear how you’re playing the long game. Write to me. And enjoy the show.
