Ep.30/ Developing your brand’s products with Zoe from THREADJAM
LISTEN NOW
Hello and welcome to another exciting interview episode of ACL! Today we chat with one of Sam’s good friends, Zoe from THREADJAM! Cass and Sam are both super pumped to share her amazing business journey.
At the top of the episode Sam shares a story that she and Zoe had experienced that morning where they both encountered a bee in nature - symbolising hard work ethic and taking the time to stop and smell the flowers. Sam also pulls the Canary Spirit animal card to support Zoe to share her story. She is such a humble person so the canaries were definitely showing up to help Cass and Sam encourage Zoe to sing her own praises.
Zoe has been in fashion production working with global brands for over 10 years and in March 2021 started her own business where she now brings other small business dreams to life by managing the production process. This includes technical documentation, liaising with overseas suppliers and factories that create your products, develop samples, conduct fit sessions, conduct costing and lead time negotiations, fabric sourcing, labelling and packaging. Her business THREADJAM really covers it all!
Zoe shares her story of always wanting to do more in her life than a standard 9-5, then during covid she was made redundant and had a baby. After having her daughter Zoe wanted to create a life where she could have more time with her baby. She shared her business idea with her good friend, who you all know, Sam who pushed her along the way to get it up and running.
Zoe shares what it was like growing a business so quickly, bringing her husband on board to the business, being a working mother and what she has in store around the corner. We get a glimpse behind the scenes of her flourishing business and she shares her advice for any creative entrepreneurs and start ups. Such a fun and inspiring episode. Enjoy!
