Philippa Aslanis - From the corporate world to running a successful lingerie business

When a friend read a post by todays guest, she emailed it over to me and said, ‘Philippa could be great for the pod!’. And she was right!I did some undercover detective work (i.e. stalked LinkedIn) and read the about me section:“I spent 11 years in the corporate landscape before I walked away to launch a side hustle. Intimo Lingerie – a leading Australian owned lingerie brand – provided me with the framework to create my own business. What began as a way of earning some pocket money while raising my children (who are now 27 and 25), has transformed into a multi-million-dollar business. Over two decades I have created a powerful network and every day I feel empowered and connect with other like-minded women.” Well I sent an email at Usain Bolt spend and was thrilled Philippa was keen to chat.A few weeks after we recorded the pod, we met for a second time on Zoom, in bra’s – well it was technically our second ‘date’. I had wondered how a business model that was based on home fittings (one-on-one’s as well as groups) had faired during COVID and lockdown – and like most things in our life in 2020 this is something you can do over Zoom. As I write this, I am wearing the most comfortable, beautiful cornflower blue bra that Philly (we are mates now) fitted me for virtually. And no this is not a sponsored post; I think at 45 my boobs are possibly beyond sponsorship!I loved Philly’s take on life, suggestions for working for yourself and honestly just how much she enjoys what she does. I hope you enjoy our chat.Want to find out more have a Complimentary bra or business chat https://fittedbyphilippa.as.me/?appointmentType=16461926www.linkedin.com/in/philippa-aslanis-a1a18216/ Hosted on Acast.
