Listen "Making a Difference with Jo Tutchener-Sharp"
Episode Synopsis
Meet Jo Tutchener, who founded her amazing company Scamp and Dude after a life-changing brain haemorrhage made her completely reassess her life. She realised that if she were to die, she hadn’t done enough to help people and vowed that if she got better, she’d do something to make a difference. Terrified of leaving her young sons when she went into brain surgery, the idea of the Superhero Sleep Buddies was born. This was quickly followed by a clothing line for kids, all with the superpower button embroidered on the sleeve so kids could press it to feel better when they were scared or had to be away. Scamp and Dude launched into Liberty along with women’s sweatshirts also with the embroidered bolt. They were so popular they sold out instantly. Now Jo’s women’s collection has sky-rocketed and she’s expanded into stores around the country. But more than just a clothing brand, Scamp and Dude has become a community with women flocking to the stores and the Scamp and Dooders Facebook page. Jo has also launched the superpower-infused printed scarfs and for every one sold, one is gifted to a woman going through chemotherapy. So far Jo has sent out over 45,000. Thoughtful and passionate about her business and family, Jo shows us her most prized possession - a small pot of solid perfume from her Mum, as well as a set of lucky charms that she was gifted when she went in for her surgery. Jo says she’s a believer in the power of positivity and that it’s never too late to make a change. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
