Today on the podcast, I speak with Robyn McLean - co-founder of Hello Period, the New Zealand-based brand shaking up the global period care industry. Founded in 2017 alongside her best friend Mary Bond, Hello Period was born out of a desire to create period products that were sustainable, safe, and actually worked. Fast forward to now, Hello Period is an award-winning, world-leading brand in sustainable period care – with a full range of cups, discs, reusable pads and period underwear, all designed right here in Aotearoa.  In this episode, Robyn shares the story behind Hello Period - from how a conversation with a friend turned into a bold business idea, to launching a product in a category that, at the time, was still considered fairly taboo. We talk about product development, sustainability, scaling a purpose-led brand, investment and the lessons she's learnt along the way. Honest, open, and full of real-life insight – I loved this conversation with Robyn as she doesn’t sugarcoat the hard stuff, and she’s generous in what she shares. This is a brilliant look behind the scenes of a Kiwi brand with personality, doing things differently and making a real impact. I know you’ll love this kōrero with Robyn as much as I did. Now, after you have finished listening, if you don’t have a Hello Disc already, I’m sure you will want one now!
