(#109) Guest: Amy Barratt & Dayna Slade - How Two Best Friends Built a Brand Rooted in Culture, Identity and Aroha

from The SME Stream · host iHeartRadio NZ

What happens when two best friends can't find products that reflect their culture for their own children? They build them. In this episode I sit down with Amy Barratt and Dayna Slade, co-founders of Bo & Ko, to explore how they turned a personal gap in the market into a thriving Māori and Pacific-owned brand. They share the realities of building a business while navigating new motherhood, the power of creating products rooted in culture and identity, and how entrepreneurship deepened their connection to their own whakapapa. If you've ever dreamed of turning an idea into something meaningful, this conversation will leave you inspired. Ready to start building?
