Manage episode 443862288 series 3603859
My next amazing guest on Poolside Perspectives is Lucy van der Riet! Lucy is the co-founder of VANDY, a brand that makes robes with the purpose of practically providing comfort for beach, pool and spa adventures, while also encouraging more fun and a bit of boldness into life. Co-founded along with her husband Matt, Lucy is passionate about family, friends, business and creating a life you love in your own unique way.
I came across Lucy’s business on socials and was inspired not only by her beautiful and bright robes, but her similar business values and how they give back as a company. On this episode we chat about the exciting start of this new business and the biggest hurdles they have faced so far, while also sharing advice on how to support a partner struggling with mental health while navigating the business, raising a family and self awareness.
In this episode you’ll hear:
• 2:37 - How Lucy got the idea for VANDY and her love and connection to the outdoors.
• 6:39 - Overcoming challenges as a new business and focusing on the bigger picture.
• 11:29 - Creating opportunities through collaboration and crafting a customized customer experience.
• 13:30 - Tips for supporting a partner with depression, while leading your family, business and taking care of yourself.
• 22:10 - Setting a good example for communication and self-regulation for the next generation.
• 24:20 - Why VANDY feels strongly about supporting a mental health charity.
