Mimi Gilmour Buckley - Burger Burger, Mates Agency, IAMMI

Today on the podcast I speak to the incredible Mimi Gilmour Buckley - entrepreneur, restauranteur, hospitality guru, creative director, and mother. Many of you will know her as co-founder of burger empire, Burger Burger, she's also the owner and creative director of brand and design agency Mates and more recently she's the entrepreneur behind a new skincare range and resilience-building app, IAMMI.Burger Burger opened in Ponsonby, Auckland in 2014 and is now in six locations around NZ. After spending many years overseeing the running of the restaurants, Mimi is now focusing on running Mates Agency and getting ready to launch IAMMI.As passionate as she is about business, Mimi’s most important role is that of mother to her two gorgeous daughters, Olympia and Octavia. After her birth in 2017, beautiful Olympia was diagnosed with quadriplegic spastic cerebral palsy and epilepsy which has had a profound effect on the lives of Mimi and her family. Along with everything else Mimi has going on in her life, she also an advocate for Olympia, families like her own and Starship Children’s Hospital.In this episode we talk about everything – from the very beginning of Mimi’s career journey, all her successes, challenges, learnings, and lessons both personally and professionally – and she also let me grill her for some marketing insights which I just loved. This is a very honest, vulnerable, and sometimes emotional conversation. I just feel so incredibly fortunate when these wonderful women come on my podcast and share their lives with me in such detail and with such generosity. I am in awe of Mimi and everything she’s accomplished so far – she’s a risk taker, a creative thinker, a change maker, hospo queen, marketing genius, fierce mama and also just a normal human like the rest of us.After this chat you can find Mimi in many places online but on instagram you can find her @iammi.co @matesagency or @burgerburgernz.My friends, this is a lonnnnng chat.
