BWR 134: Sascha Mayer and Christine Dodson: How to Start a Business Inside Your Current Job
How do you become a Biz woman who ROCKS?
Listen to our Interview with Sascha Mayer and Christine Dodson of Mamava!
Christine Dodson and Sascha Mayer started Mamava because they were moms on the go and craved a private place breastfeed their babies. While working at their jobs, they came up with a unique lactation station that could be placed in public places, airports, corporate offices and more and be a solution for other women who had that same need! They started the “business within a business” because the company they work for decided to incubate their business! In this inspiring interview, Sascha and Christine share the real challenges of not having enough capital as a start up, how they got their first Mamava successfully into an International Airport and how they handle it all with kids and husbands!
Sascha and Christine’s Kick-A$$ Quotes:
It’s a problem that design solved and that is a huge part why we kept these two entities connected.
When we talk to people who get it, it’s not a hard sell.
Understand there’s ups and downs, but you have to have that willingness to be like “alright, we believe in this so much that we are going to pursue it, no matter what happens!”
