A Story of Resilience, Creativity & A Chick In A Wheelchair

07/28/20 • 30 min

Some businesses are born unexpectedly, from tragedies nobody ever saw coming.

When Samantha Longmore was 20 years old she was involved in not just one, but two shocking accidents on the same day.

Her life would never be the same.

One day, sitting at home in Binalong (in the Southern Tablelands of New South Wales) sick of feeling unsure about her place in the world, Sam made a decision to start a business in the most unlikely and unexpected way.

This is the story of OhhBulldust.

Sally Hepworth Wrote A Book That Wasn't Good Enough

Sally Hepworth is an author. She’s also a mother, a wife, the primary breadwinner for her family and a Lady Startup.

From the outside, Sally’s business is successful. Amy Poehler has even optioned the rights to turn one of her books into a TV show.

But last year, Sally was told that the book she was writing wasn’t good enough, which meant she had no income for a year.

So she had to adapt and this is how she did it.

This episode of Lady Startup Stories is brought to you by GoDaddy. The place to go to get your business idea online.
