Hi. This is my very first interview 00:00:54.259 --> 00:00:57.479 on this podcast, and I am so excited, but it 00:00:57.479 --> 00:01:00.259 absolutely feels right and natural for sitting 00:01:00.259 --> 00:01:02.700 next to you. We've been through quite the journey 00:01:02.700 --> 00:01:04.359 here with White Peony Boutique, and we're going 00:01:04.359 --> 00:01:07.219 to talk a little bit about that today. I know 00:01:07.219 --> 00:01:09.340 you have such an incredible following from our 00:01:09.340 --> 00:01:11.840 customers, from your own personal life. life 00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:14.719 and wellness journey. I'm excited. I think people 00:01:14.719 --> 00:01:17.579 want to really get to know if they haven't already 00:01:17.579 --> 00:01:20.480 heard from your story. I love that. And I just 00:01:20.480 --> 00:01:21.799 want to say, I've been encouraging her to do 00:01:21.799 --> 00:01:24.000 a podcast for years. So to be here and be part 00:01:24.000 --> 00:01:27.040 of it is pretty awesome. So congratulations on 00:01:27.040 --> 00:01:28.760 that. Yes. I actually told her that we're doing 00:01:28.760 --> 00:01:31.000 this on her birthday. Yeah. So I was like, Hey, 00:01:31.099 --> 00:01:34.500 guess what? Happy birthday. Not, not maybe a 00:01:34.500 --> 00:01:36.950 normal. birthday present, but I was very excited. 00:01:37.090 --> 00:01:39.150 It was a great birthday present. All right. So 00:01:39.150 --> 00:01:40.790 we're going to talk a little bit about leadership. 00:01:41.049 --> 00:01:42.689 Not only do I want to hear kind of your story 00:01:42.689 --> 00:01:45.329 and what you were before white Peony and kind 00:01:45.329 --> 00:01:47.109 of your journey with white Peony, but I want 00:01:47.109 --> 00:01:49.609 to talk about your own professional development. 00:01:49.989 --> 00:01:52.609 And for me, it's truly having the importance 00:01:52.609 --> 00:01:55.310 of having the right people on my team. I do believe 00:01:55.310 --> 00:01:57.010 there's something to be said with you sound yourself 00:01:57.010 --> 00:01:59.349 with the right people to lift you up. And I have 00:01:59.349 --> 00:02:02.810 learned so much from autumn being on our team 00:02:02.810 --> 00:02:05.609 and as a really great friend. So I would love 00:02:05.609 --> 00:02:08.090 to know or I think the listeners would love to 00:02:08.090 --> 00:02:11.189 hear kind of Who is Autumn? Who were you before 00:02:11.189 --> 00:02:13.449 starting White Peony Boutique? What you kind 00:02:13.449 --> 00:02:16.550 of do behind the scenes? Yeah. So fun fact, I 00:02:16.550 --> 00:02:17.909 went to school for dental hygiene, and that's 00:02:17.909 --> 00:02:20.129 kind of where I started. So actually, before 00:02:20.129 --> 00:02:22.930 I started with White Peony, I was a dental hygienist 00:02:22.930 --> 00:02:25.810 for eight years and developed, it's a genetic 00:02:25.810 --> 00:02:27.750 thing, but I developed a shoulder injury that 00:02:27.750 --> 00:02:30.610 caused me to take down my hours. And before that, 00:02:30.610 --> 00:02:33.409 I was also on a health and wellness journey after 00:02:33.409 --> 00:02:37.090 my second child. I had went through a lot of 00:02:37.090 --> 00:02:39.000 things and I realized I needed to put myself 00:02:39.000 --> 00:02:41.819 forward. So I was kind of developing that part 00:02:41.819 --> 00:02:45.219 of me a little bit more on the, you know, quote 00:02:45.219 --> 00:02:47.819 unquote, fitness influencer and eating right 00:02:47.819 --> 00:02:50.460 and on my own journey that way. But then as my 00:02:50.460 --> 00:02:54.939 health declined physically, I had to go part 00:02:54.939 --> 00:02:57.599 time and I was like, I'm a very hard worker. 00:02:58.020 --> 00:03:01.639 So no rest for me. And so actually it popped 00:03:01.639 --> 00:03:03.860 up on my Facebook feed right when I had decided 00:03:03.860 --> 00:03:06.680 to go part time that you guys needed help during 00:03:06.680 --> 00:03:09.259 the holiday season. And I said, Love white peony, 00:03:09.319 --> 00:03:12.039 I could do that. That's where it started. I started 00:03:12.039 --> 00:03:15.719 a holiday temp position to kind of fill my time 00:03:15.719 --> 00:03:18.819 because I... don't know how to sit down in the 00:03:18.819 --> 00:03:23.000 chaos. Yeah. And I, if looking back, I'm like, 00:03:23.020 --> 00:03:25.159 that's probably like one weekend. I'm like, please 00:03:25.159 --> 00:03:28.620 be on my team forever. Cause there's something 00:03:28.620 --> 00:03:31.219 about autumn who, if there's, if I could describe 00:03:31.219 --> 00:03:34.759 autumn, it number one is like a fierce work ethic. 00:03:34.979 --> 00:03:37.699 That's for sure. But it's for me and having you 00:03:37.699 --> 00:03:40.080 come on our team, um, full time was far more 00:03:40.080 --> 00:03:43.099 than just a work ethic. I knew pretty quickly 00:03:43.099 --> 00:03:45.219 on how much heart you put into the work that 00:03:45.219 --> 00:03:47.849 you do, which for me, is obviously very, very 00:03:47.849 --> 00:03:52.189 important from the very first time that you came 00:03:52.189 --> 00:03:55.530 on to white peony like that first week and you 00:03:55.530 --> 00:03:56.930 were like, what do you want me to do? You were 00:03:56.930 --> 00:03:58.330 like running around. Where do you want me to 00:03:58.330 --> 00:04:00.150 go? What do you want to do? Okay. Yes, ma 'am. 00:04:00.550 --> 00:04:04.610 You know, to leading people today, it has been 00:04:04.610 --> 00:04:08.789 quite the incredible journey. We joke a lot about 00:04:08.789 --> 00:04:12.219 how, when I got hired on, she's like, I had you 00:04:12.219 --> 00:04:14.340 in shipping. I knew you were meant for something 00:04:14.340 --> 00:04:16.759 else. And it was true. And it was funny because 00:04:16.759 --> 00:04:19.360 for me, I was like, yeah, I'm a person and always 00:04:19.360 --> 00:04:21.959 have been the person that if you give me a task, 00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:24.000 if you tell me something to do, I will do it 00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:28.920 110%. And I'm driven by physical results. So 00:04:28.920 --> 00:04:31.019 the transition into leadership where that technically 00:04:31.019 --> 00:04:33.699 isn't always the case was probably the biggest 00:04:33.699 --> 00:04:35.899 transition for me. Yeah. But I think you've done 00:04:35.899 --> 00:04:38.459 it well. Yeah. What, what year did you start 00:04:38.459 --> 00:04:40.480 with Tony? I was trying to think of this. My 00:04:40.480 --> 00:04:42.879 kids just asked me that too. I think it w it 00:04:42.879 --> 00:04:47.300 was full time. It was 2020 when I started and 00:04:47.300 --> 00:04:51.319 then 2021 when I full time started. Okay. Yeah. 00:04:51.439 --> 00:04:53.800 Man. The things that we've done in four years. 00:04:55.120 --> 00:04:57.920 I feel like I've been with you side by side with 00:04:57.920 --> 00:05:01.579 this journey for 10 plus years. Truly. Like when 00:05:01.579 --> 00:05:03.620 you think about it in the beginning of when we 00:05:03.620 --> 00:05:07.279 were, it would be go to work. and then come home 00:05:07.279 --> 00:05:09.500 in the evenings. And the group of women that 00:05:09.500 --> 00:05:12.199 would come on their evenings every single night 00:05:12.199 --> 00:05:16.980 to do all the things, like lives, shipping, taggings, 00:05:17.060 --> 00:05:19.000 all of the things happened in the evenings because 00:05:19.000 --> 00:05:22.439 we were not running at full time. And now we're 00:05:22.439 --> 00:05:25.720 running to get out of here by 4 .35 o 'clock, 00:05:25.720 --> 00:05:28.019 like running. So it's like turntables in such 00:05:28.019 --> 00:05:30.740 a great way. Yeah. We've met a lot of people. 00:05:30.740 --> 00:05:33.839 Yes. We've had a lot of events. Yes. We have 00:05:33.839 --> 00:05:37.040 moved a lot of clothing. Two and from, and two 00:05:37.040 --> 00:05:40.639 and from. My physical activity is always on point. 00:05:40.899 --> 00:05:43.100 She's a girl to track her steps. And if she doesn't 00:05:43.100 --> 00:05:45.300 ever watch on, she gets upset. And let me tell 00:05:45.300 --> 00:05:49.180 you. I'll go back and get it. My stairs are counting. 00:05:50.639 --> 00:05:53.019 No, but it's really been an incredible journey. 00:05:53.220 --> 00:05:58.980 And honestly, I thank the universe for allowing 00:05:58.980 --> 00:06:02.459 our paths to cross, truly. I believe that. you 00:06:02.459 --> 00:06:04.259 know, those kinds of things happen for a reason. 00:06:04.279 --> 00:06:08.639 I agree. And I think when you pair our drive, 00:06:08.759 --> 00:06:11.819 our work ethic, but like our heart and passion. 00:06:12.399 --> 00:06:14.800 I mean, we could sit here and talk with you guys 00:06:14.800 --> 00:06:16.779 for hours and we're probably going to end up 00:06:16.779 --> 00:06:19.579 crying like 13 times in between only because 00:06:19.579 --> 00:06:22.639 we're talking about together and that we care 00:06:22.639 --> 00:06:25.279 about it so much. But yeah, that's another fun 00:06:25.279 --> 00:06:27.800 fact about me. Any emotion other than me, I'm 00:06:27.800 --> 00:06:31.220 crying probably happy, sad. I don't know if I 00:06:31.220 --> 00:06:34.259 believe that, but I love it. Okay. Let's talk 00:06:34.259 --> 00:06:35.800 about your transition a little bit more on what 00:06:35.800 --> 00:06:39.420 is meant for. So from very beginning, like just 00:06:39.420 --> 00:06:43.139 talk about like white peony. I repeat myself 00:06:43.139 --> 00:06:45.939 over and over and over. And I've said it from 00:06:45.939 --> 00:06:48.379 the beginning. And I'm like, and this is no offense 00:06:48.379 --> 00:06:52.079 to anywhere else, I just really, really hate 00:06:52.079 --> 00:06:56.199 the word retail. I hate it. I hate it because 00:06:56.199 --> 00:07:00.459 I think because I grew up where retail was like 00:07:00.459 --> 00:07:03.680 the longest hours, the weekend hours. You knew 00:07:03.680 --> 00:07:05.860 that you weren't getting any Christmas time off. 00:07:06.160 --> 00:07:11.180 I worked at a retail location for. Three months. 00:07:11.319 --> 00:07:14.519 Three months, then that was it when I was younger. 00:07:14.620 --> 00:07:16.240 And I can't remember if I was a senior in high 00:07:16.240 --> 00:07:18.300 school or just fresh out of high school. But 00:07:18.300 --> 00:07:21.180 it was literally, no offense. And I'm not saying 00:07:21.180 --> 00:07:23.300 anything. We will not say where it was at. It 00:07:23.300 --> 00:07:28.420 was the most boring, awful three months. I always 00:07:28.420 --> 00:07:31.259 say that because I literally, while folding, 00:07:31.500 --> 00:07:34.180 I walked in. It was uncomfortable because I didn't 00:07:34.180 --> 00:07:38.769 know anybody. And I folded clothes. the entire 00:07:38.769 --> 00:07:41.790 time. And I watched my, I even got a watch, honestly. 00:07:41.870 --> 00:07:44.009 I put a watch on, I never wore watches, but cause 00:07:44.009 --> 00:07:45.889 I was like looking at the time counting down 00:07:45.889 --> 00:07:47.670 and you know, you're not supposed to do that. 00:07:47.709 --> 00:07:51.230 Like that just makes it go up and soar. So going 00:07:51.230 --> 00:07:53.529 from, you know, working with my family at the 00:07:53.529 --> 00:07:56.769 Minnesota State Fair and then folding clothes 00:07:56.769 --> 00:07:59.790 for like four hours, it felt like an eternity. 00:08:00.170 --> 00:08:02.029 And they walk in and then destroy what you just 00:08:02.029 --> 00:08:06.019 did. And I didn't use, I wasn't like taught at 00:08:06.019 --> 00:08:07.980 the time. And I'm not going to blame anyone else 00:08:07.980 --> 00:08:09.500 besides myself, but I think there's a journey 00:08:09.500 --> 00:08:12.300 with learning people skills, but I definitely 00:08:12.300 --> 00:08:14.399 didn't know how to use my people skills at that 00:08:14.399 --> 00:08:18.879 time. So long story short, I, when creating white 00:08:18.879 --> 00:08:21.540 peony boutique, I was like, this is not going 00:08:21.540 --> 00:08:25.319 to be your normal retail. And I will like work 00:08:25.319 --> 00:08:28.600 sunup to sundown to make sure it's not. Yes. 00:08:28.899 --> 00:08:31.379 And you have been a part of that journey, too. 00:08:31.579 --> 00:08:33.659 So when I say it is more than just clothing, 00:08:34.019 --> 00:08:37.340 it is not just retail. What do you think that 00:08:37.340 --> 00:08:41.220 means to you? I love this question. So when I 00:08:41.220 --> 00:08:43.980 had started, again, I was thinking more when 00:08:43.980 --> 00:08:45.419 I had started what I originally was going to 00:08:45.419 --> 00:08:47.139 do. I'm like, I'm shipping. I'm going to come 00:08:47.139 --> 00:08:49.440 in, clock in, clock out. And as everything kind 00:08:49.440 --> 00:08:51.379 of evolved, that was always a thing you had said 00:08:51.379 --> 00:08:53.220 from the beginning, more than just clothing or 00:08:53.220 --> 00:08:56.220 more than just retail. You know how some people 00:08:56.220 --> 00:08:58.080 can say things and you're like, okay, that sounds 00:08:58.080 --> 00:09:00.600 really pretty. But I think the biggest thing 00:09:00.600 --> 00:09:02.980 and I'm glad you're doing this podcast on like 00:09:02.980 --> 00:09:05.220 leadership because truly you walked the walk 00:09:05.220 --> 00:09:07.899 and not just talk the talk. And I'm a people 00:09:07.899 --> 00:09:11.379 person and truly it's about the connections you 00:09:11.379 --> 00:09:13.379 make with the people that walk in. There are 00:09:13.379 --> 00:09:16.580 customers that we've had for years that honestly 00:09:16.580 --> 00:09:18.940 come in not even to buy anything, but just to 00:09:18.940 --> 00:09:21.759 come and say hi. I know their kids' names and 00:09:21.759 --> 00:09:24.440 I know that they just had surgery last week and 00:09:24.440 --> 00:09:27.480 some people just need an outlet. Some people 00:09:27.480 --> 00:09:30.039 are looking for a confidence booster, some people 00:09:30.039 --> 00:09:32.480 come in not wanting to try on clothes, but at 00:09:32.480 --> 00:09:34.580 the end of the day, if you can make them feel 00:09:34.580 --> 00:09:36.460 beautiful, there's so many people that come in 00:09:36.460 --> 00:09:38.279 that are looking for something different. Yeah, 00:09:38.539 --> 00:09:41.169 I agree with that. It's connecting. connecting 00:09:41.169 --> 00:09:43.909 on a human basis, because truly each individual 00:09:43.909 --> 00:09:46.269 customer, we're so thankful for them to be in 00:09:46.269 --> 00:09:49.129 our store and come to visit us and maybe buy 00:09:49.129 --> 00:09:51.110 some clothing. But it's so much more than that, 00:09:51.210 --> 00:09:54.149 because there's clothes everywhere. Yeah. Isn't 00:09:54.149 --> 00:09:56.009 that the truth? And it is about being different 00:09:56.009 --> 00:10:00.470 and making them feel welcome and like family, 00:10:00.649 --> 00:10:04.189 truly. I'm going to speak right now to anybody 00:10:04.189 --> 00:10:06.730 that's listening, whether you're a business owner 00:10:06.730 --> 00:10:12.389 or an individual, I think for me, I didn't realize 00:10:12.389 --> 00:10:16.450 the power and the love I had for connection initially. 00:10:16.990 --> 00:10:20.649 But what I did know is that I went through my 00:10:20.649 --> 00:10:22.909 own journey. And I think you can speak to this 00:10:22.909 --> 00:10:26.950 a little bit further too. But I was a young mom. 00:10:27.309 --> 00:10:30.409 trying to get by in life, trying to climb a corporate 00:10:30.409 --> 00:10:34.269 ladder, trying to like push against every darn 00:10:34.269 --> 00:10:37.950 insecurity that you can come up with for a girl 00:10:37.950 --> 00:10:40.309 my age, you know, at the time. And I think that 00:10:40.309 --> 00:10:42.830 era too, like I grew up with freaking Barbie 00:10:42.830 --> 00:10:46.309 dolls and magazine covers and all the things. 00:10:46.570 --> 00:10:49.110 So yeah, I struggled with major insecurities. 00:10:49.309 --> 00:10:52.090 I had great friends, I had sports, I had phenomenal 00:10:52.090 --> 00:10:55.940 family, but internally I was very insecure. And 00:10:55.940 --> 00:10:57.700 I remember there would be like times that I go 00:10:57.700 --> 00:10:59.779 shop for like jeans and it would only take my 00:10:59.779 --> 00:11:01.980 best friend because I knew that I was like, I 00:11:01.980 --> 00:11:04.379 hate jean shopping. I'm going to feel like crap 00:11:04.379 --> 00:11:07.940 about myself. I hate it. But what I'm getting 00:11:07.940 --> 00:11:12.620 at is like, I wanted to create a space, an outlet. 00:11:12.940 --> 00:11:15.080 So when I, in the beginning, I said, white piano 00:11:15.080 --> 00:11:16.779 boutique is more than just a clothing store. 00:11:17.039 --> 00:11:19.679 I wanted to create a space where you could come 00:11:19.679 --> 00:11:23.100 and feel a part of something bigger that is not 00:11:23.100 --> 00:11:26.250 just clothing, it's literally to feel good, to 00:11:26.250 --> 00:11:28.909 be heard and seen and actually to have a space 00:11:28.909 --> 00:11:30.990 where you can relate with people. I think we 00:11:30.990 --> 00:11:33.009 also get insecure because we think that we're 00:11:33.009 --> 00:11:34.529 going through it ourselves. Well, I know social 00:11:34.529 --> 00:11:37.889 media has kind of like done good and bad with 00:11:37.889 --> 00:11:41.049 that. Um, but I just wanted, you know, a busy 00:11:41.049 --> 00:11:43.350 mom, sometimes you got to cry it out and like 00:11:43.350 --> 00:11:46.269 move on. I wanted it to be a space where someone 00:11:46.269 --> 00:11:48.250 could come do that with us if they needed and 00:11:48.250 --> 00:11:51.950 just know that. You aren't alone and it's okay. 00:11:52.230 --> 00:11:54.570 And it's just an experience. It's not just trying 00:11:54.570 --> 00:11:56.450 on clothes. Like it should be an experience where 00:11:56.450 --> 00:11:59.370 you're finding the things that make you feel 00:11:59.370 --> 00:12:00.889 good when you walk out the door. Like I want 00:12:00.889 --> 00:12:02.509 someone to be proud of the purchases that they 00:12:02.509 --> 00:12:05.149 have because how they feel in the clothes. It's 00:12:05.149 --> 00:12:07.970 deeper. Yes, it is deeper. So speaking to anyone, 00:12:08.490 --> 00:12:11.309 business or individuals, I think, especially 00:12:11.309 --> 00:12:14.360 business owners. It may start, especially if 00:12:14.360 --> 00:12:16.179 you're starting a new business, you might not 00:12:16.179 --> 00:12:18.820 have all the answers. Like in my heart, I knew 00:12:18.820 --> 00:12:20.740 that this was going to be more. I knew that I 00:12:20.740 --> 00:12:23.120 wanted to be more. I didn't, I couldn't put like 00:12:23.120 --> 00:12:26.100 a thumb on it though. And then I think as a journey 00:12:26.100 --> 00:12:29.299 involved, it was very clear. Yeah. I mean, we've 00:12:29.299 --> 00:12:32.000 done a lot of things to make that known that 00:12:32.000 --> 00:12:33.740 were not just your average retail, including, 00:12:33.740 --> 00:12:38.500 um, You know our part -time staff that is incredible 00:12:38.500 --> 00:12:41.980 by the way. Gosh Yeah, we have the best group 00:12:41.980 --> 00:12:44.820 of ladies here ever but I think it stems from 00:12:44.820 --> 00:12:48.240 like you and I and our mission and Even for them. 00:12:48.240 --> 00:12:50.179 I don't want them to come and be bored folding 00:12:50.179 --> 00:12:54.500 clothing for four hours That's a no, but I think 00:12:54.500 --> 00:12:56.259 but it's evolved so in the beginning I didn't 00:12:56.259 --> 00:12:58.259 really know the people skills and how to use 00:12:58.259 --> 00:13:01.919 that but I knew I wanted a Space where you could 00:13:01.919 --> 00:13:04.179 get away and just take your mind off all this 00:13:03.980 --> 00:13:08.120 stress of every day. And then it really has turned 00:13:08.120 --> 00:13:12.480 into an art of people skills. And very quickly, 00:13:12.779 --> 00:13:15.159 I'm like, I love bringing people together. I 00:13:15.159 --> 00:13:17.639 love bringing people together. I love it. And 00:13:17.639 --> 00:13:20.159 I think when it comes at like your social little 00:13:20.159 --> 00:13:21.600 butterfly, that's what my uncle used to call 00:13:21.600 --> 00:13:23.899 me, social little butterfly. I believe that you 00:13:23.899 --> 00:13:27.019 are as well. And so just in the transition with 00:13:27.019 --> 00:13:29.620 the people skills, yes, we're going to talk about 00:13:29.620 --> 00:13:31.580 leadership here, but I think there's something 00:13:31.580 --> 00:13:34.279 to be said about leading not only our team, but 00:13:34.279 --> 00:13:37.779 leading our customers and our community and showing 00:13:37.779 --> 00:13:41.009 them them that you truly care. Yes. Right. Agreed. 00:13:41.090 --> 00:13:43.370 Talking about just culture in general, we're 00:13:43.370 --> 00:13:45.230 talking about a little bit of the journey. We'll 00:13:45.230 --> 00:13:46.750 get into a little bit more about your leadership 00:13:46.750 --> 00:13:49.250 and whatnot, but culture. How do you believe 00:13:49.250 --> 00:13:52.590 or how do you feel about the culture here at 00:13:52.590 --> 00:13:55.909 white pony boutique, even in its journey? has 00:13:55.909 --> 00:13:58.350 kind of shaped you personally, maybe professionally, 00:13:58.450 --> 00:14:01.110 definitely. Yes, that's a really big question. 00:14:01.110 --> 00:14:02.769 And I'm like, I could go so many different ways 00:14:02.769 --> 00:14:04.210 when it comes to the culture of white peony. 00:14:04.470 --> 00:14:07.250 And like I had said before, with the leadership 00:14:07.250 --> 00:14:09.169 skills that you had kind of set for yourself, 00:14:09.250 --> 00:14:11.190 I think one of the biggest things is empowering 00:14:11.190 --> 00:14:14.990 the people that work for you to develop their 00:14:14.990 --> 00:14:18.210 confidence in their roles. And that has been 00:14:18.210 --> 00:14:23.090 a huge thing for me. And a lot of white peony 00:14:23.090 --> 00:14:27.480 culture I believe you kind of set the tone for 00:14:27.480 --> 00:14:30.240 for us as your employees and for just white peony 00:14:30.240 --> 00:14:32.720 in general Authenticity is the first thing that 00:14:32.720 --> 00:14:36.299 I think of letting me specifically be exactly 00:14:36.299 --> 00:14:39.000 who I am and finding the skills within the person 00:14:39.000 --> 00:14:41.159 because like I don't have the same skill sets 00:14:41.159 --> 00:14:44.580 as some of my co -workers do but really honing 00:14:44.580 --> 00:14:47.799 in on like who you are as a person and Really 00:14:47.799 --> 00:14:50.559 growing in confidence and developing those skill 00:14:50.559 --> 00:14:54.179 sets that I have like I'll never be Mama Jane's 00:14:54.179 --> 00:14:57.080 charcuterie Queen. Okay, and that's okay. I don't 00:14:57.080 --> 00:14:58.639 have that attention detail But that's why you 00:14:58.639 --> 00:15:00.899 have people on your team that are those people 00:15:00.899 --> 00:15:03.519 didn't she fire you from wrapping gifts a hundred 00:15:03.519 --> 00:15:07.379 percent She's pretty much fired me from any creativity 00:15:07.379 --> 00:15:10.620 Like putsy. I know autumn's not the girl that 00:15:10.620 --> 00:15:13.629 we're gonna do crafting with but she's Definitely 00:15:13.629 --> 00:15:17.230 the person, my right hand, the girl. You're on 00:15:17.230 --> 00:15:20.450 my speed deck because I need to talk with you. 00:15:20.909 --> 00:15:23.230 I need to get. I'm literally a bull in a China 00:15:23.230 --> 00:15:25.509 shop. Like it's just, we don't do well with crafts, 00:15:25.509 --> 00:15:27.789 but like I'll make, I'll move some stuff, you 00:15:27.789 --> 00:15:31.090 know? Um, but the other thing that I think in 00:15:31.090 --> 00:15:33.370 general, and I think this is white peony for, 00:15:33.470 --> 00:15:35.389 if you work here, if you are someone that walks 00:15:35.389 --> 00:15:37.889 in, it's just more of an empowerment thing. I 00:15:37.889 --> 00:15:41.149 think when a woman walks in or we hire somebody 00:15:41.149 --> 00:15:44.330 it's truly empowered. them to live their own 00:15:44.330 --> 00:15:48.250 truth and be exactly who they are today and seeing 00:15:48.250 --> 00:15:51.970 truly themselves as somebody else sees them and 00:15:51.970 --> 00:15:54.669 I think it takes time sometimes like even with 00:15:54.669 --> 00:15:57.230 our customers like they come in and developing 00:15:57.230 --> 00:15:59.710 those relationships and you start to see that 00:15:59.710 --> 00:16:02.210 spark in them but same with the people that work 00:16:02.210 --> 00:16:05.330 here I think every single woman that's on this 00:16:05.330 --> 00:16:09.779 team has such strong attributes and such strong 00:16:09.779 --> 00:16:12.279 character that it's been really cool. Like everyone 00:16:12.279 --> 00:16:14.659 is their own person. I agree. The one thing I'm 00:16:14.659 --> 00:16:17.919 so proud of is that our team, the women, our 00:16:17.919 --> 00:16:19.639 team, there's one common denominator and that 00:16:19.639 --> 00:16:22.799 is heart. Great. So everyone is so different, 00:16:22.840 --> 00:16:25.759 but I was like, you know, if the economy does 00:16:25.759 --> 00:16:28.840 something wonky, I mean us, we've got two, our 00:16:28.840 --> 00:16:31.639 hearts are way too big to slow down. We have 00:16:31.639 --> 00:16:33.539 too many things to give and too many people to 00:16:33.539 --> 00:16:38.490 serve. But I think of you from, I remember being 00:16:38.490 --> 00:16:41.370 out white peonied in the very beginning. And 00:16:41.370 --> 00:16:43.509 it's always uncomfortable because I think we 00:16:43.509 --> 00:16:47.350 went to market. We had like literally 50 boxes 00:16:47.350 --> 00:16:51.289 at the shed. I had called, asked friends if anybody 00:16:51.289 --> 00:16:53.789 wanted to come help unbox. It was like before 00:16:53.789 --> 00:16:56.870 an event. And we need to get 50 boxes in a teeny 00:16:56.870 --> 00:16:58.769 tiny little space. So we had to unpack them. 00:16:58.960 --> 00:17:01.340 Now, and if anybody knows our journey and what 00:17:01.340 --> 00:17:04.680 we've worked with thus far, we do not have a 00:17:04.680 --> 00:17:06.839 warehouse space that is ideal in any way, shape 00:17:06.839 --> 00:17:10.779 or form. The shed was originally built out for 00:17:10.779 --> 00:17:13.019 warehouse space, but after COVID was like, we 00:17:13.019 --> 00:17:14.980 need people in our life. So we made it into a 00:17:14.980 --> 00:17:17.710 much bigger storefront than I ever thought. But 00:17:17.710 --> 00:17:19.849 looking back at that, I remember I had a bunch 00:17:19.849 --> 00:17:23.029 of friends, my mother -in -law, my mom. We were 00:17:23.029 --> 00:17:25.950 unboxing. Everybody came after work. I think 00:17:25.950 --> 00:17:28.670 we got pizza. And Autumn was running around doing 00:17:28.670 --> 00:17:32.150 her thing. And I'll never forget, it was either 00:17:32.150 --> 00:17:34.869 that night or after. And I was looking at you, 00:17:34.869 --> 00:17:39.029 and you looked just nervous. And I said, I can't 00:17:39.029 --> 00:17:40.750 remember if it was that night or, like I said, 00:17:40.829 --> 00:17:43.450 the next day. But I remember being like, hey. 00:17:43.690 --> 00:17:46.930 You just be you. You're good. Because you're 00:17:46.930 --> 00:17:48.430 just like, what do I got to do? I don't know 00:17:48.430 --> 00:17:52.529 these people. I'm running around. And so I knew, 00:17:52.670 --> 00:17:54.509 and it wasn't in a bad way in any way, shape, 00:17:54.670 --> 00:17:56.329 or form, but I'm like, I want to see the real 00:17:56.329 --> 00:17:59.710 Autumn. I want to know more about who the real 00:17:59.710 --> 00:18:02.930 Autumn is. And when you try to be someone in 00:18:02.930 --> 00:18:05.849 a room that you don't know anyone, you know how 00:18:05.849 --> 00:18:10.029 that is. You're nervous. Should I talk about 00:18:10.029 --> 00:18:11.769 my personal life? Should I talk about my career? 00:18:12.309 --> 00:18:14.170 Should we talk about the weather? Which you're 00:18:14.170 --> 00:18:17.170 never supposed to do. It's really, really, really 00:18:17.170 --> 00:18:18.930 cool. And we've had these conversations many 00:18:18.930 --> 00:18:21.930 times. It's like, just be you. There are people 00:18:21.930 --> 00:18:25.190 that may not want the best version of you or 00:18:25.190 --> 00:18:27.289 want to see that, but there is someone out there 00:18:27.289 --> 00:18:29.529 that you're inspiring. I'm inspiring someone 00:18:29.529 --> 00:18:31.390 else. Someone might not want to hear my voice 00:18:31.390 --> 00:18:33.650 on here. It's just, there's someone out there. 00:18:33.819 --> 00:18:36.039 That needs to hear you. Yeah. And who you are 00:18:36.039 --> 00:18:37.279 and what you bring to the table. It's so funny 00:18:37.279 --> 00:18:39.799 you say that because growing up, I had a personality 00:18:39.799 --> 00:18:42.140 that sometimes was too much for people and so 00:18:42.140 --> 00:18:44.700 coming too much. Yeah. I was always like, yeah, 00:18:44.799 --> 00:18:46.920 I called myself the chameleon that I was with 00:18:46.920 --> 00:18:49.259 the popular kids. I could, you know, kind of 00:18:49.259 --> 00:18:51.759 try to blend with them because I felt like sometimes 00:18:51.759 --> 00:18:55.740 if I let my true self out, then people, I don't 00:18:55.740 --> 00:18:58.319 know. I just, I felt like they. I was too much 00:18:58.319 --> 00:19:00.420 of a personality and I had you say that coming 00:19:00.420 --> 00:19:03.059 into certain situations. But now I'm like, you 00:19:03.059 --> 00:19:05.200 know what? I don't know if it's age or white 00:19:05.200 --> 00:19:08.400 peony, but all of it. Yeah, all life in general. 00:19:08.599 --> 00:19:11.099 Yeah, I'm like, I am who exactly who I am. And 00:19:11.099 --> 00:19:13.480 I think I'm a good human. And if I am too much, 00:19:13.579 --> 00:19:16.299 then I won't be friends. You know, and that's 00:19:16.299 --> 00:19:17.660 OK. I'm not going to be friends with everybody. 00:19:17.700 --> 00:19:20.240 But I used to be try to be friends with everybody. 00:19:20.240 --> 00:19:21.559 And I realized, like, you're not going to be 00:19:21.559 --> 00:19:23.900 everybody's cup of tea. No. And you want to be 00:19:23.900 --> 00:19:26.099 just authentically you and you'll attract the 00:19:26.099 --> 00:19:28.509 people like I. I do believe it comes with the 00:19:28.509 --> 00:19:30.369 age and everything else too. But I believe when 00:19:30.369 --> 00:19:33.569 you start honing in on your own values, I believe 00:19:33.569 --> 00:19:36.230 that when you start to be yourself, there is 00:19:36.230 --> 00:19:38.450 something so darn beautiful in that. And you 00:19:38.450 --> 00:19:40.490 actually are going to attract far more people 00:19:40.490 --> 00:19:42.589 being you. So that is something that we talk 00:19:42.589 --> 00:19:45.210 about on our, I often say with our team. You're 00:19:45.210 --> 00:19:51.369 stepping on my cord. My head went like this and 00:19:51.369 --> 00:19:55.250 then I wasn't sure if we should keep. I'm stuck. 00:19:56.659 --> 00:19:59.140 It's fine. You say where your foot wants to be. 00:19:59.259 --> 00:20:02.039 I'll feed on you. Stop. This is your podcast. 00:20:02.140 --> 00:20:04.440 If you want me to lower it, fine. No, stop. I'm 00:20:04.440 --> 00:20:07.680 moving my cord. I'm just going to keep my feet. 00:20:08.819 --> 00:20:10.559 I can't wait to see the video where it's just 00:20:10.559 --> 00:20:13.740 like this. It would have been funnier if your 00:20:13.740 --> 00:20:16.099 head went like this. Just talking to the side 00:20:16.099 --> 00:20:20.039 of his feet. Oh, shoot. So that's authentic. 00:20:20.180 --> 00:20:22.059 That was beautiful. If you were here, I just 00:20:22.059 --> 00:20:28.190 stepped on Adam's cord or mic. So we had a moment, 00:20:28.849 --> 00:20:31.990 but what we were talking about is we talk. amongst 00:20:31.990 --> 00:20:35.430 our team a lot, even for those who we hire on 00:20:35.430 --> 00:20:38.589 as new. I believe that everyone is an influencer 00:20:38.589 --> 00:20:40.190 in some way, shape or form. And I think that 00:20:40.190 --> 00:20:43.009 is kind of a leadership mentality too. Everyone 00:20:43.009 --> 00:20:45.410 has something different to bring to the table 00:20:45.410 --> 00:20:47.890 and that's okay. I think it's so important to 00:20:47.890 --> 00:20:51.509 be authentic and be your darn self. I'm not going 00:20:51.509 --> 00:20:54.490 to be you either on them. There's things that 00:20:54.490 --> 00:20:56.450 you bring to the table that I just, I'll never, 00:20:56.549 --> 00:20:59.849 and that's incredible. I love that. I think sitting 00:20:59.849 --> 00:21:02.869 at a table with women and men or whoever that 00:21:02.869 --> 00:21:06.109 looks like who are very authentic and who they 00:21:06.109 --> 00:21:10.869 are, hold strong values, are kind people, kind, 00:21:10.930 --> 00:21:14.529 genuine people. Like there's nothing more powerful 00:21:14.529 --> 00:21:18.549 than that. So I always say everyone is actually 00:21:18.549 --> 00:21:22.029 an influencer and I'm not talking. I am not talking 00:21:22.029 --> 00:21:24.849 the social media influencers that are trying 00:21:24.849 --> 00:21:26.950 to make money on TikTok and this and that. I'm 00:21:26.950 --> 00:21:28.880 trying to change the word. You know what I mean? 00:21:29.400 --> 00:21:31.980 Exactly. I believe that everyone is an influencer 00:21:31.980 --> 00:21:36.920 because when you walk in a room, you have the 00:21:36.920 --> 00:21:40.720 choice to influence the room. 100%. When you 00:21:40.720 --> 00:21:44.319 sit at that table for a meeting, you have that 00:21:44.319 --> 00:21:47.319 choice on how you're going to influence. the 00:21:47.319 --> 00:21:50.319 room, when you leave the room and walk out, you 00:21:50.319 --> 00:21:51.920 have a choice how you're going to make people 00:21:51.920 --> 00:21:55.460 feel after you've left. So for me, it is, you 00:21:55.460 --> 00:21:57.420 actually probably don't even know it, but whether 00:21:57.420 --> 00:22:01.160 it's your kids, I'm going to say dog, maybe not 00:22:01.160 --> 00:22:05.180 talk. She loves her dog. Whether it's your children, 00:22:05.339 --> 00:22:07.500 whether it's your staff, whether it's a fellow 00:22:07.500 --> 00:22:09.980 coworker, whether it's a boss, whether it's a 00:22:09.980 --> 00:22:14.019 friend. You are a leader. You can be a leader. 00:22:14.279 --> 00:22:16.970 You are a leader. You know on the same you had 00:22:16.970 --> 00:22:19.230 asked this question and I was thinking about 00:22:19.230 --> 00:22:21.289 this because we're in the world of in social 00:22:21.289 --> 00:22:23.569 media so influencers and I was like it's it's 00:22:23.569 --> 00:22:25.569 not selling somebody something that's not we're 00:22:25.569 --> 00:22:28.089 not influencing you to buy a pair of jeans the 00:22:28.089 --> 00:22:31.490 point is is influencing you to be your most authentic 00:22:31.490 --> 00:22:37.450 self and I want people to see me and I want to 00:22:37.450 --> 00:22:40.289 be proud of how they view me I want them to see 00:22:40.289 --> 00:22:43.400 the parts of me that I think make me exactly 00:22:43.400 --> 00:22:46.819 who I am. And I was also thinking like, I want 00:22:46.819 --> 00:22:49.759 for white peony in general, where you're like 00:22:49.759 --> 00:22:51.720 a white peony influencer, I want white peony 00:22:51.720 --> 00:22:54.200 to be proud of the people that represent them 00:22:54.200 --> 00:22:56.539 because they're authentically themselves. Yeah. 00:22:56.740 --> 00:22:58.839 Amen. You know, and so it's like a vice versa 00:22:58.839 --> 00:23:01.279 thing. Like, I'm proud to say I'm part of white 00:23:01.279 --> 00:23:03.400 peony. And you also want white peony proud to 00:23:03.400 --> 00:23:08.170 be part of you. I agree. So Whether you're, again, 00:23:08.369 --> 00:23:11.250 an entrepreneur or not, it doesn't matter. I 00:23:11.250 --> 00:23:12.849 would say take this. If there's anything you 00:23:12.849 --> 00:23:16.349 would take from this podcast, it is you've got 00:23:16.349 --> 00:23:19.490 to start, or if you're on the journey, follow 00:23:19.490 --> 00:23:22.670 along with us because we are here to highlight 00:23:22.670 --> 00:23:26.450 and help you deep dive into what makes you, you. 00:23:26.939 --> 00:23:30.279 And that is something so special. And I think 00:23:30.279 --> 00:23:32.680 I look at the people that walk into the room 00:23:32.680 --> 00:23:37.000 and don't give two, you know, what's, and I love 00:23:37.000 --> 00:23:39.039 them more. I think they're amazing. Think about 00:23:39.039 --> 00:23:41.880 what they do. And for those, you know, like I 00:23:41.880 --> 00:23:43.460 said, growing up with a little bit of insecurity, 00:23:44.019 --> 00:23:45.579 kind of what that journey looked like, of course, 00:23:45.839 --> 00:23:47.839 it kind of everything gets better with eight. 00:23:47.920 --> 00:23:50.920 My mom was like, you know, I thought 20 was a 00:23:50.920 --> 00:23:53.579 blast. Then I was, I turned 30 and then 30 came 00:23:53.579 --> 00:23:56.240 in and went, and then I was like, no, forties 00:23:56.240 --> 00:23:58.450 even. better and then she, you know, keeps going 00:23:58.450 --> 00:24:00.210 on. She was like, as I get older, it just keeps 00:24:00.210 --> 00:24:03.009 getting better. But I think it's because we finally 00:24:03.009 --> 00:24:05.450 understand what we bring to the table. I love 00:24:05.450 --> 00:24:08.670 that. I know. All right. So I think we're going 00:24:08.670 --> 00:24:10.869 to wrap this up here because literally you could 00:24:10.869 --> 00:24:12.789 have autumn and I talking with these microphones 00:24:12.789 --> 00:24:16.170 for a very, very long time. But most importantly, 00:24:16.849 --> 00:24:19.589 like why autumn is here on our very first interview 00:24:19.589 --> 00:24:24.569 podcast is because. The journey from autumn starting 00:24:24.569 --> 00:24:28.049 my peony until now. Yes, there has been four 00:24:28.049 --> 00:24:32.710 years of your own life experiences and there 00:24:32.710 --> 00:24:35.390 have been professional development. There has 00:24:35.390 --> 00:24:37.609 been everything in between, but you have really, 00:24:37.609 --> 00:24:41.089 really grown into who you are. And it is like. 00:24:41.210 --> 00:24:43.609 Best friend proud. I can't, I'm not that much 00:24:43.609 --> 00:24:45.509 older. I'm not talking about, so I'm not going 00:24:45.509 --> 00:24:47.630 to say mama proud, but I'm just as a best friend. 00:24:48.049 --> 00:24:51.450 So dang proud. So grateful to have you on my 00:24:51.450 --> 00:24:54.509 team, honestly. So we are going to keep kicking 00:24:54.509 --> 00:24:58.170 butt. I love that. Now we're on a bigger journey 00:24:58.170 --> 00:25:01.009 for Autumn's development as far as a leader. 00:25:01.309 --> 00:25:03.809 As she said, this is a little bit on the newer 00:25:03.809 --> 00:25:05.509 side. You've been a leader from day one at white 00:25:05.509 --> 00:25:07.630 peony, but we're definitely in a deep dive to 00:25:07.630 --> 00:25:09.970 something greater. So I cannot wait to share 00:25:09.970 --> 00:25:12.349 a little bit. more with that. We'll have you 00:25:12.349 --> 00:25:15.009 on again and talk leadership and kind of your 00:25:15.009 --> 00:25:17.470 thoughts about it even further. I've got lots 00:25:17.470 --> 00:25:22.250 of thoughts on that. We might have a call in 00:25:22.250 --> 00:25:28.210 question and answer session. But yes, if you 00:25:28.210 --> 00:25:30.529 are a professional, you're a leader in the community, 00:25:30.750 --> 00:25:34.109 an entrepreneur or not, I think this episode, 00:25:34.410 --> 00:25:36.950 if anything you can take from it is connecting 00:25:36.950 --> 00:25:40.720 with people, people skills. being authentically 00:25:40.720 --> 00:25:44.960 you, and actually seeking out authenticity in 00:25:44.960 --> 00:25:48.079 someone else is such a true connection piece 00:25:48.079 --> 00:25:50.920 that I don't think people get sometimes, how 00:25:50.920 --> 00:25:53.799 much it means. I think that's, like for me, the 00:25:53.799 --> 00:25:57.859 biggest takeaway is that you, as a leader, so 00:25:57.859 --> 00:25:59.420 if you're in this and you're going to be a business 00:25:59.420 --> 00:26:01.500 owner, what I would suggest if you're going to 00:26:01.500 --> 00:26:05.259 have employees is not making them somebody that 00:26:05.259 --> 00:26:10.059 they're not, but truly finding their skill sets 00:26:10.059 --> 00:26:14.519 and developing those because One you are not 00:26:14.519 --> 00:26:16.680 going to harness the best version of themselves 00:26:16.680 --> 00:26:19.700 or your business by wanting them to be somebody 00:26:19.700 --> 00:26:24.339 that you're not But to you're going to create 00:26:24.339 --> 00:26:27.839 a human an employee for life when you develop 00:26:27.839 --> 00:26:32.369 somebody and really let them be them and harness 00:26:32.369 --> 00:26:34.910 their good energy and harness their skill sets 00:26:34.910 --> 00:26:37.529 and really let them develop that and believe 00:26:37.529 --> 00:26:40.670 in them along the way because I've worked at 00:26:40.670 --> 00:26:43.190 many different places. And I think one of the 00:26:43.190 --> 00:26:46.329 biggest things and why Lindsay's this podcast 00:26:46.329 --> 00:26:49.769 is what it is, is because she leads by walking 00:26:49.769 --> 00:26:52.589 the walk, not just talking the talk and truly 00:26:52.589 --> 00:26:55.049 looks at each individual that she comes in contact 00:26:55.049 --> 00:26:57.609 with and sees them for who they are. I love that. 00:26:57.670 --> 00:26:59.490 I'm getting a little choked up here. You keep 00:26:59.490 --> 00:27:04.029 looking me in the eye. Just know that this is 00:27:04.029 --> 00:27:07.150 a journey. So I could have Mindy come on here 00:27:07.150 --> 00:27:09.230 to one of our other white piano plays and talk 00:27:09.230 --> 00:27:11.349 about this because we're honing in on it with 00:27:11.349 --> 00:27:14.329 our retail staff or part time staff. It's a little 00:27:14.329 --> 00:27:17.650 bit of a journey, but I encourage you, I encourage 00:27:17.650 --> 00:27:21.589 you to like look at what makes people tick, find 00:27:21.589 --> 00:27:24.069 out what motivates them. It's not going to be 00:27:24.069 --> 00:27:26.680 a set in stone. Yep. what they're good at right 00:27:26.680 --> 00:27:29.099 off the go. You might have to fumble a little 00:27:29.099 --> 00:27:31.880 bit. But there is an evolution there that is 00:27:31.880 --> 00:27:36.960 so important. But we have never had a cut and 00:27:36.960 --> 00:27:39.559 dry black and white job description. And I'm 00:27:39.559 --> 00:27:42.059 really proud of that. Has it taken a lot more 00:27:42.059 --> 00:27:44.740 work on the back end? I think so. But I'm really 00:27:44.740 --> 00:27:48.460 proud because we, from everybody, you, Tara, 00:27:48.740 --> 00:27:52.240 Emily, Mindy, myself, my mom, where everyone 00:27:52.240 --> 00:27:56.920 was started, it has evolved based on listening 00:27:56.920 --> 00:28:00.000 and holding in on each individual's skills and 00:28:00.000 --> 00:28:01.960 talents and strengths. And even for where my 00:28:01.960 --> 00:28:04.680 position is now, I remember the day that it just 00:28:04.680 --> 00:28:07.480 clicked. I was like, I get it now, you know, 00:28:07.660 --> 00:28:11.019 because to transition from I'm the girl that 00:28:11.019 --> 00:28:13.220 rolls up her sleeves, physically moves things 00:28:13.220 --> 00:28:15.559 and makes things happen to really developing 00:28:15.559 --> 00:28:18.380 the leadership skills of knowing, like looking 00:28:18.380 --> 00:28:21.740 at the bigger picture and connecting your team. 00:28:22.180 --> 00:28:26.519 That was huge. Yeah. It's a huge step. Yeah. 00:28:26.759 --> 00:28:31.359 Amen. All right. So overall, we've talked a lot 00:28:31.359 --> 00:28:35.170 about white puny boutique because We are on a 00:28:35.170 --> 00:28:38.190 mission that it is not your average retail, your 00:28:38.190 --> 00:28:41.769 clothing store, but I hope that you take from 00:28:41.769 --> 00:28:45.869 this what it is to hone in on authenticity. There 00:28:45.869 --> 00:28:48.549 is definitely leadership skills and in your mixed 00:28:48.549 --> 00:28:52.089 in there. Talk about that more, but honestly 00:28:52.089 --> 00:28:54.930 hone in on your people. Yeah. and love them hard. 00:28:55.289 --> 00:28:57.130 So thank you guys.
