from real estate, the market as a whole, which then sometimes will affect the 10. Right, you know the real life we all learn in different ways. If you think about it, wayne dyer might not attract everybody and everything in between. Mission was really to help people just to reach their full potential the brad weisman show and now your host, brad weisman all right, we're back.
Speaker 1:Of course we are. This is kind of cool because this uh I was just talking to hugo about this this is the longest distance stream person we've had on the show. Uh, this person's from australia, so that's where we're talking to her from. Her name is Samantha Gold. She has had a business or a company for two months and is going crazy. It's something that just blows my mind. The company is called Motet. It is a bamboo pajama brand of all things, and it's just going crazy. She's been on news shows, she's been all over the place. She gets up at 4 o'clock in the morning, which is really crazy. She was just telling us about that, but I wanted to introduce you to her because she's just lighting things up and and, uh, it's a very unique brand, it's a unique way of growing a brand and, um, that's about it. So let's bring her on. Samantha gold is her name. How are you doing, samantha?
Speaker 2:I'm doing great, so excited to be here. Thank you so much for having me.
Speaker 1:Excited to have you all the way in Australia.
Speaker 2:Yes.
Speaker 1:That's amazing. So what's it like over there?
Speaker 2:I mean it's great. It's actually my second time living here. I came here to study abroad when I was 20 and didn't leave for six years because I loved it so much but didn't eventually go back home. I'm from Chicago and it's now fast forward 10 years later. I have a husband and two kids and he had a work opportunity come up here and we decided about a year ago to make the move back to Sydney. I have a three and a half year old daughter and a two year old son and they are thriving. It's hilarious. And my daughter comes home and says things like you know, to my, to my son, wesley, can I have a go? And we're like is that australian?
Speaker 1:is that, is that a thing that they'd say? Right, can I have a go?
Speaker 2:she's like can I have a turn playing with that?
Speaker 1:oh right right, that's so funny. Can I have a go? That's so fun, and does she say like, uh, any of the other typical Australian things? I?
Speaker 2:mean, you know, the stroller is the pram, a diaper is a nappy.
Speaker 1:Oh my gosh, it's so funny.
Speaker 2:And I look at each other and chuckle. That's hilarious.
Speaker 1:Now is your husband Australian.
Speaker 2:No, he's American from Greenwich, Connecticut.
Speaker 1:Wow, so you guys are definitely transplants. You made the move. Now do you plan on staying there forever or as long as you can see?
Speaker 2:I mean TBD on that. I could see us staying here forever. So right now we are sponsored by his company. He works in tech sales and it takes about two years to get permanent residency. So I think we'll definitely apply and see what happens from there.
Speaker 1:Yeah, why not? Why not? Well, you have an amazing brand that I found. I think you actually found me somehow because you're you know, you're the person that gets up at four o'clock in the morning, like we said in the beginning here, but you found me somehow and when I saw it, it was interesting. I mean, we turned down a lot of guests we do, and it's unfortunate because we just don't have enough time to get everybody on the show. We would love to do it every day, but it's just not possible right now. So I saw this come up and the bamboo pajama brand was what got me right away, and it's called Motet, and the fact that you've only been doing this for two months and the exposure you've gotten. What do you think this is from? What is going on? How are you getting this far so fast?
Speaker 2:Um, grit and hustle, I would say. Um, I actually have a longstanding career in tech and sales. I started my career working for Salesforce and really moved up the ranks quickly, but I will say that gave me like an MBA in sales and PR and getting press. It's all sales, right.
Speaker 2:And so it's all building your list of contacts people that you want to get in touch with, that you'd be a great fit for and then crafting a message and blasting that out. And then it's about the follow-up right, and I've been able to really streamline that process and also bring on offshore resources to help me. You know, I've been able to document that repeatable process, share that with them, and they're now blasting out about probably like 50 to 100 PR messages a day to you know entrepreneur publications or media outlets, also parenting mom sites, and that's how we've been able to get such great traction in the market so quickly, I think. Also, obviously, the product speaks for itself. We've been ranked a top bamboo brand actually a month after launch. But it's really about getting it into the hands of the right people so that you can get you know awareness.
Speaker 1:Why bamboo and why pajamas, like what you know. I mean, there's that's actually two questions, of course, but like the bamboo thing is, is this weird to me, like I don't. I look at a piece of bamboo and I go how does that become a pajama? But then again, cotton doesn't look like it should be clothing either.
Speaker 2:Right. So it's a similar process to cotton in terms of it being, you know, crushed and then spun into fiber, but from a bamboo perspective. And why motet and why pajamas? Essentially, the brand was born after I became a mom. For me, I have always had a love for interior design and clothing and fashion.
Speaker 2:Prior to this, I was the CEO of a women's clothing company, and after the birth of my two kids, I wanted clothing that reflected my personal style, and I really couldn't find it. And so, truly, the brand was born because I was a mom that was tired of cheesy prints for babies and toddlers, and so I decided to create a brand that had elevated prints inspired by my love of interior design. And it turns out. There's, you know, tons of moms out there like me who are like, finally, you know, a brand that really resonates with their personal style.
Speaker 2:And then, in terms of bamboo, you know bamboo is the fastest growing plant on the planet. It's super. It's obviously sustainable, great for the environment, but the other benefit, especially which is important for children, is that it's really great for sensitive skin. So if your baby or your child has any eczema or skin issues, it's not going to irritate it and I also. Another feature that I rolled out was tag free labels, and so everything is like heat pressed on as opposed to having a label, and that's also great for children that might have some sensory issues as well. And the brand and I know we're going to get into this, brad has, like, truly been co-created with my mom community, and so so many of these suggestions actually came from real moms with children of their own who were experiencing, you know, challenges or difficulties, or they wanted something different for their kids, who reached out and gave me these suggestions.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's cool. That's the other part that blew my mind. But can we go back a little bit to the tag free. Is it possible that you could talk to men's shirt companies and tell them to stop doing the damn tags? It's the most right, hugo. Isn't that the most annoying thing when you're, when you're somewhere and the thing is it's hitting your neck. It's terrible. So we need to work on that. We'll have to work on that next. But yeah, so then the thing that blew my mind. So it says in here that this was created by an inner circle of 2,000 moms who helped co-create the brand pre-launch. I always was told too many cooks in the kitchen ruins the stew.
Speaker 2:I always was told, too many cooks in the kitchen ruins the stew. How do you get opinions from 2000 women and not go completely crazy? Was starting this brand that it was going to probably take about nine to 12 months. But I didn't want to do it alone. And since we had moved to Sydney, australia, you know, as many entrepreneurs know, it can be very lonely being an entrepreneur, and so what I started to do on my Instagram pre-launch was share what I was working on, and so that really gained momentum, this build in public strategy, and then I ended up coming up with something that I call my inner mom circle, where I turned it into this whole group of women where now you have to be part of my close friends on Instagram to get access to these polls.
Speaker 2:And you know, I think a lot of people are like you've built this amazing community. Is that a lot of pressure to maintain? And it's not because I literally share in real time what I'm working on, and so right now I'm actually working on the fall collection, and so you know, I had a mom reach out to me. I launched just a boy girl sweatsuit I call it my little lounger sweatsuit for toddlers and they were like we'd love to see these in different, you know, solid colors and prints and I'm like great.
Speaker 2:So I basically choose the prints and then I start sharing them with the audience, saying do you like this green stripe, do you like this beige stripe? Would you like to see this in a floral? And I get them. I just use the Instagram feature, which is polls, and then they vote on it and that truly, you know, helps me make decisions from a product-based business perspective. It's so important because it reduces the amount of risk. Right Inventory is the biggest cost for the business and this allows me to make sure that I'm investing in products that moms are actually going to want and they come up with like amazing ideas. I mean, the biggest thing that I'm about to launch, which was not on my radar, are mommy and me pajamas.
Speaker 2:I mean moms go crazy to match with their kids, and especially boy moms. I think a lot of brands forget about boys right and boy moms and so and we're very important.
Speaker 1:I mean we, we should not be forgotten. I mean I'm not wearing pajamas that much anymore, but still I mean, come on, think about the boys.
Speaker 2:When I launch daddy and me, I'm going to send you a pair.
Speaker 1:I would love and if it would be the full thing that my feet go in and everything that would be awesome. I mean, I think that those would be the most comfortable thing. A full onesie, a full onesie or whatever you call that thing, that would be awesome.
Speaker 2:That's amazing.
Speaker 1:She's like nobody wants to see that. I that you know. Oh man, I can tell this is going to be terrible. I'm going to get voted off the island in a second. It's going to be terrible, but no, that's. I think that's great idea. So what's neat about that? What you're saying and now I'm kind of getting it is that you get these ideas. You know cause, as an entrepreneur, we don't know everything. We have a vision, we have a vision, we have a drive and we have a passion. But you know the whole saying that we don't know what we don't know. You know, you didn't, you didn't even think about that. But your audience I want to call them your audience is telling you what, what you should be, what you should think about doing. Sometimes it might fit your, your goal and your and your vision, and sometimes it might not. You know, it depends, but you have a choice to make there at that point.
Speaker 2:Totally and I think, like that's been the biggest thing is leaning into that, and now I've really built these like friendships with these moms who are literally all over the world, and that's been incredible. And I think, as an entrepreneur too, like you know, it's especially when you have new products coming out and you're investing a ton of money. It's scary to like don't make assumptions, like ask, find out, right, even if it's like a small focus group within your community. Ask first before you go all in on something and get feedback, because I think you'll be amazed by you know how many people love to contribute and are willing to help. And that's the other thing. Like you don't know what you don't know. And you know I didn't.
Speaker 2:I've never started a business. This is my first time doing it. I was a CEO of a company but I had an entire team and so you know, when you're a founder, you're wearing all of the hats. But I think it's about to, and someone gave me this advice and I think it's the best advice that I've gotten is learn how to do everything first before you outsource it. Um and you know there were areas of the business, actually my social media. I was going to outsource um to an agency, and after like a month of working with them, I ended up realizing that I really wanted to share in real time what I was working on. So I brought that in house and within a week I was like a whiz at it. Right, I was like an expert and I think it's just fear.
Speaker 2:It's fear that holds us back from like I don't know email marketing, I'm just going to outsource that, right, but you end up spending so much money as well, versus if you would just take the time to learn. I think it's so empowering when we can just learn how to do things ourselves and then we can say you know what? I don't enjoy this. This is a repeatable process that I could easily pay someone you know and find offshore talent that's very cost effective to be able to do this.
Speaker 1:Yeah, do I hear one of your, your guinea pigs in the background? That helps, that wears the pajamas.
Speaker 2:If anyone is listening, you need to set up a custodial Roth IRA for your children. For me it's very legit, because they actually are my models. It's, you know, it's been an amazing way and it's so. It's not even that much money, I think. You contribute up to $7,000 per year per kid, um, and I'm going to do that until they're 18 and they'll have, you know, a nice nest egg when they're ready to retire.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's cool, and I've heard of people doing that. My employees are acting up, brad. Well, obviously the boss must be out of town or something. I don't know what's going on here. Funny, you know, and the thing about going back to is thinking when you said about learning how to do these things before you outsource them.
Speaker 1:The one thing that I've learned about with doing the podcast here and doing different things as an entrepreneur is that also, what it does is it sets the value when you do leverage it. Because what happens is when we leverage things and we don't know what it takes to do it, we don't know the value of it, and I've learned that a couple of times. Doing the podcast, like I know, hugo over here is very valuable to me, because I can't do any of the stuff we do when we have a person here in the in the studio. But I've also learned how to do a couple of things with reels and shorts and things like that and clips that I was paying for before. That maybe it's not as you know, it's not as hard to do, so you know. So you learn these things and then it puts a value on it.
Speaker 1:So if somebody tries to pay, charge you a gazillion dollars to do something. You're like wait a minute, I could do that in five minutes. Why are you charging me this much? You know what I mean. So it's it's, it's. It's a good, it's a good thing to do. It's great advice, really good advice.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I mean PR agencies, the quotes that emails um and you know, outreach than what an agency would do for me.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's awesome, that's really cool. Yeah, you should get me that information too, cause I'm thinking about doing some stuff, uh, some uh VA stuff, some virtual assistant stuff too, just to help out with the show. Okay, so you had, uh, you were CEO of a women's fashion uh label you. What made you go I'm done with this Is it did you have children first and then you decided to be done, or did you decide before children? I can't do this when I have children.
Speaker 2:So honestly it was. It was really like stars aligned. I spent most of my career in tech and consulting and was consulting for this women's clothing company. We were living most recently in Charleston, south Carolina.
Speaker 2:And while I was doing that, one of the co-founders who was really running the business side stepped away and the co-founder that stayed on was the designer, and she really needed someone to come in.
Speaker 2:At the time I was actually already thinking about starting my own brand, but I thought, oh my gosh, this will be incredible experience to learn from a successful brand how everything is run from manufacturing to marketing. They were primarily, or are primarily, wholesale, which I didn't have any experience in, so I decided to take that opportunity, experiencing. So I decided to take that opportunity, and then it was really the move to Australia about a year ago that prompted me going all in on launching my own business. We sold our house in Charleston the market, you know, really took off during COVID and so I had the startup costs that I needed to fund this business and also have, you know, a bit of security for, you know, one to two years, while I built up the brand, to be able to support the family financially and contribute, and so that's what really prompted the decision to go all in on launching Motet. I knew that I wouldn't be able to continue in the CEO position from Australia and so I decided, okay, this is the perfect time to launch my own thing.
Speaker 1:That's cool, do you? Did you know about clothing then? Pretty well, did you know about materials? Did you know about these things? Or did you start researching when you realized what you wanted for your children wasn't out there?
Speaker 2:I didn't know anything. I didn't know anything about children's fashion, about fabric. I don't have a background in design. I just knew what I wanted wasn't out there and I knew that I could create it. Um, and I knew that I could be successful at it because, you know, I hustle and I grind and I have so much grit.
Speaker 1:That's awesome. I love it. I absolutely love it. So you had said here that you have the DIY PR strategy. So basically you says you personally pitch five, 50 to a hundred media contacts a day.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:That's a lot.
Speaker 2:Yeah, Well, here's the thing also. Um, you can't just pitch these people one time and expect a response.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:And so you know you need to constantly be coming up with new, uh reasons that are compelling to reach out to them. Here's the other thing that I want to let people know right, Journalists and editors need you as much as you need them, and so I think, like we put them on this pedestal, like they have a job and they need content, and they need fresh ideas.
Speaker 2:And so you know for you to be pitching them, whether that's a founder pitch, whether that like. For me, the Forbes feature that's coming out is actually based on travel. This woman specifically covers travel and you think, well, how is she going to cover a baby brand? Well, so many of my prints are inspired by my love of travel and interior design. So I have this pink symphony print that's actually based on the Sydney Opera House Right, and so it's like that angle. It's so funny. I just got a confirmation the other day that a woman, a journalist, is writing an article in Consumer Reports and she's doing a piece on bedwetting and why PJs that wash really well.
Speaker 1:Oh, wow. Up for kids with bedwetting and they all go through it.
Speaker 2:A hundred percent.
Speaker 1:A hundred percent.
Speaker 2:Yeah, another angle that I wouldn't have thought of, that she's going to incorporate Motet into that piece.
Speaker 1:Love it.
Speaker 2:And so you know, there's especially from, like, a founder perspective, like me leaving my corporate job, me launching this company based on my love of interior design, because I was a mom that was tired of cheesy prints. I'm also seven years, sober, right, and so how recovery and AA and, like you know, hitting rock bottom seven years ago, really propelled me on this path to want to pursue something that really aligns with my values, and so there's just so many different angles and if you're, if you don't know what your angle is and you're listening to this, ask chat to BT, say chat to BT. What is special about my story, what's unique about me? Right, and, by the way, I leverage chat, gbt and AI across like every aspect of my business and when you're reaching out to these people as well, don't just make it about you.
Speaker 2:You need to make it about them, right, like your first sentence or two, and your subject needs to be about them, like your recent piece on bedwetting you know, as a mom, this resonated with me. I'm going through this right.
Speaker 1:I, literally my daughter, woke up and peed herself this morning and there was pee everywhere. Right, and share that. Oh yeah. And even the bed liners are not that good. Did you ever notice that? Can you come up with a bed liner that actually works? I swear, there's times with our kids we were like, oh, it's no problem, there's a bed liner in there, we don't have to worry about the bed. And then you pull it up and the bed's wet anyway. It's like what do I need to do? Put a plastic trash bag around the bed, like, did you never notice that? Do you have that issue? I mean, we bought some of the best bed liners and they don't work.
Speaker 2:You know we're not, we're not really there, yet my daughter went through her diaper.
Speaker 1:Well, that's what I'm saying, but I'm telling you there's times where they got. We have a boy, so there's some interesting physical things that happens with a boy with a diaper that sometimes it doesn't even get a chance, it just comes right out, and so then the bed. But we have these liners on and they're supposed to do that their job and they don't. They don't work.
Speaker 2:Yes.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's unbelievable. That's a whole different story, so you'll have to work on that when inventing that. Since you, you did this thing, you can invent that next if you could. But yeah, so I'm just amazed at how fast you're growing, what you're doing with it, cause it's just incredible. But you're you're using all the tools that are out there, using social media, you're using your persistence, which is something in as an entrepreneur, you have to have. A no does not mean a no, it means just keep going, you know, so yeah. So let's talk about funding. You said, it says here that you grew without any outside funding. You're you're doing this. You're you're kind of doing this the the old fashioned way, which is you saved up the money, or you had, you were a good enough to invest in, and now you're doing it on your own.
Speaker 2:A hundred percent.
Speaker 2:Yep, like I said, the sale of our home in Charleston gave us, you know, a good nest egg that I'm using to invest in the company.
Speaker 2:So, you know, definitely important to have a partner my husband who really believes in me and my goal and, yeah, you know, not doing it with any outside help. I think for me, the biggest thing is like not giving away equity in my company. I've had actually, like, venture capitalists reach out to me and express interest, but it would also mean that I wouldn't have the autonomy that I have as a founder if I gave away equity or took outside funding. You know, depending on the agreement, and for me it's just really important to remain, you know, in having sole ownership for now. But, you know, I think that also goes back to like being super wise with how I spend money. Like I said, my biggest cost is the product and then, in terms of like bringing on talent, it's the reason that I've decided to hire people. In the Philippines, I have five employees now that I work with one that does all my social media outreach, so this is something that we didn't get into in terms of like how I actually got to 2000 moms.
Speaker 1:Yeah, go ahead.
Speaker 2:Interesting. I looked for brands that I felt like aligned with my aesthetic. I look at their followers and then I actually reach out to the moms that follow those accounts and say you know, hi, this is the motet team. Your style really resonates with what we're creating. We'd love to have you join our inner circle, um, and weigh in on future, um, you know decisions for the brand. Is this something that you're interested in? And then I offer them a perk, like a 15% discount, um, on purchases for being a part of it. But, like, the reason I bring that up is because on launch day, when we nearly sold out our debut collection, 80% of purchases came from moms in the inner circle.
Speaker 1:Wow, yeah, that's cool. Well, that's just. And that, what's amazing? That that's you're just touching the surface of this thing. It is not even like really out there, out there, yet.
Speaker 2:Right, totally, and we actually just opened up wholesale last week and just in a week we have six boutiques that have already ordered the product. I had a showroom actually reach out to me this morning and say that they're interested in carrying the line, and so what that would mean is I'd have representation at market. If anyone listening is in the retail space, when boutiques actually go to purchase for upcoming seasons, they go to market in Dallas and Atlanta, and then I'd have a showroom representing the brand. For me, the margins are obviously a lot lower with wholesale, but the great thing about it is that I think of wholesale as free marketing. Right, it's building brand awareness, getting the brand out there. Someone buys a pair of pajamas at a boutique. They're like I love these Motet, let's go to their website and check them out, and then they become a customer.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's, and that's. What's cool with the boutique type stuff is that they become, and you're at that level yet too, where you know we also, um, we have have some fun today. I don't know if you can see the hat behind me here. That is a Stephanie Taramina and she's a soul. Uh, she started the brand. It's been on. A lot of actors and actresses wear of the brand.
Speaker 1:She's been in the studio here with me several times and it's the same kind of thing. She's actually does the customer service. Till this to this day she still does customer service. She actually picks up the phone when somebody is calling for a complaint of some sort, and and they're like, she's like, oh, this is the owner. They're like what do you mean? It's the owner? She's like, and they're like, she's like, oh, this is the owner. They're like what do you mean? It's the owner? She's like no, this is the owner. And it's just funny because they're surprised. Then the whole tone changes and they're like well, we just had a little problem, you know, and they go through the whole thing and then she takes care of it and sends them new, a new product or whatever it is.
Speaker 1:But, um, it's incredible, you some fun today and it's a really cool brand. Um, their name is Stephanie Taramina. She's great. Um yeah, one of the other things too. Before we wrap this up, I wanted to ask you so where you're? You're doing this for two, three months, whatever it is. Where's this going to be in a year?
Speaker 2:Well, I hope in a year we're in, you know, over 500 boutiques, um, and have grown our direct to consumer customer base probably by you know, 500% at that point and I hope to be, you know, launching new products and really expanding and growing our product line. I actually am exploring some influencer celebrity collaborations where they would partner with me. I'm actually talking to a well-known Charleston influencer her agent at the moment about a potential collab and we would actually expand into offering sizes for older kids. Right now we go up to six-year-olds and so looking to expand that to probably up to 12 or 13-year-olds and do this collab with her where her name and her likeness is attached to it, and I know that's going to really help us grow brand awareness. For me, that's like the biggest focus. And then I think, in a year from now, really focusing on profit right, I'm spending a lot of money to get the brand out there so to be able to look at things and say, okay, now we're finally, you know, taking in some profit and you know this has legs.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and and and you're kind of like on this, this really fast path. So a lot of times they say you know, with an entrepreneurial type investment, usually a lot of times it's two to three years until you really really see, you know the money start to come in, but you're doing things on this really really, really fast path where you've done in two months. Sometimes people takes a year and a half, so hopefully you'll be able to see that in a year because you're on a much faster trajectory, which is awesome, very cool.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and to that point, I've had a number of founders reach out to me and so I am now offering one-on-one consulting for founders who really replicate my process. So if anyone's listening and interested and wants to just have a call to talk about strategy, I would love for you to reach out.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and we'd love to spread the word on that too on our socials. So, to make sure you get us the information on that, if you want to send us, like the information just on that, we can get that out too. So before we wrap this up, motet, where'd the name come from?
Speaker 2:So, before we wrap this up, motet. Where'd the name come from? Chat GBT name my company.
Speaker 1:Okay, there we go.
Speaker 2:Yeah, of course I wanted to call it Petite Motif, because everything is based on tiny prints and my love of prints. And that trademark was taken. And so my trademark attorney which, if you're listening, you're thinking about starting a brand do not buy any domains until you talk to a trademark attorney.
Speaker 1:Oh man.
Speaker 2:They were like you need to come up with a made up word, and so I asked chat to BT come up with a made up word based off petite motif, and one of the options was motet, and I loved it and that's how we came up with the name.
Speaker 1:I love it. I love it. I was thinking maybe it's like your, your mother's maiden name or something. You know, that's the kind of story I was thinking was going to come up here.
