This is our most downloaded episode this year. First published on our podcast She Makes News, this is an extended interview with host Kimberley Furness and Lottie Rae from The Studio - Trangie. Lottie recently sold the business and spoke to She Makes News about the experience, her advice for other business owners and what's next after The Studio.

Every other day we see a small business close its doors, typically a result of the difficult economic landscape. This story is a little different. Lottie was excited to list the business for sale so she could dedicate time to an unfinished chapter as an artist. But more interestingly, the bush-based business is thriving!

The sale of The Studio is a testament to the power of organic success. By allowing the business to grow and evolve in a natural and sustainable way, Lottie was able to create a thriving and profitable enterprise. While the decision to sell the business may mark the end of one chapter, Lottie is filled with excitement and anticipation for what lies ahead.

In a raw and candid BONUS interview, Lottie shares with us her start up story, why the pandemic was the “best thing” to happen to her business, what retailers can do during tough times, and her plans now that The Studio has sold.
