02. The Miann and Co business journey

Welcome Know Better, Be Better our first ever podcast. We're Rebecca and Terry Meyer-founders, husband-and-wife team, and proud parents! Miann & Co is a family-owned, Australian based brand. We pride ourselves in proving the highest quality clothing and homewares, all individually handmade with love from natural, non-synthetic fibres. In 2011, just after our second child was born, our firstborn began to have troubling complications with eczema.  This was a turning point for us - we wanted to give ours and other parents' kids the ability to be surrounded by wholesome, wellness-promoting fabrics and toys.  We began our Miann & Co journey that same year by designing safe, handmade toys, and later evolved into natural clothing with synthetic-free fibres as well as natural homewares. We want you to get to know us, the people behind the brand Miann & Co.  We share our journey to being business owners and also where we grew up. We hope you love this introduction to us as we take you on our own journey to be business owners.   Find our business at: https://www.miannandco.com.au Follow our journey on instagram: https://www.instagram.com/miannandco Like us on facebook: https://www.facebook.com/miannandco
