In today’s episode, we chat to sisters, best-friends and business partners Alora May and Veronica May who are the founders of Sam and Lance, a gift-box company based in Toronto which has redefined the milestones we celebrate as women. Over the years, Alora and Veronica have learnt to pivot in their business when needed. They walk us through the changes their business went through at the beginning of the pandemic, and they share their advice for business owners facing a similar situation and the importance of looking at the data before making any changes. Alora and Veronica launched unique gift boxes a few years ago which redefined the milestones we celebrate as women, such as women launching their own businesses, running a marathon, moving your own place, going through breakups - and we talk about the importance of celebrating all the milestones that you, and the women in your life have achieved. Veronica and Alora are sisters, who live on opposite sides of the world. They share the key to their successful business partnership, and their advice for business owners looking to partner with family members in their business. Over the years, Sam and Lance has been featured in many publications including Forbes, Fashion, Notable Life, and Elle and Alora and Veronica share their favorite features, how they came about, and the surprising impact of large publications vs. smaller micro-influencer blogs on their business. Veronica and Alora have experienced many highlights over the years, and they share how The Birds Papaya (Sarah Nicole Landry) shared their gift boxes when they launched, and the positive impact this had on their business.  We chat about IG and Facebook ads, and the challenges that they face as a small business keeping up with all the algorithm changes. We talk about the importance of celebrating the little wins in your business, learning to surrender to what is happening and giving yourself a break when you need it, and how being a part of a community will help ignite your spark and support you on your entrepreneurial journey. Alora and Veronica share their experience of meeting their customers at pop-ups, and how important it is for customers to hear the real stories of the makers in order to connect with their brand. We chat about the importance of owning your story and sharing it authentically with your customers, and the impact this will have on your business.  We talk about the importance of listening to your body and finding a routine that works for you so you can really thrive in your business and life, and Alora and Veronica share their very different daily routines which help them thrive. We chat about imposter syndrome, the importance of showing up authentically, the biggest lessons they’ve learnt in their years of business and so much more.
