From Friendship to Fashion with Cammy and Cologne of Show Me Your Mumu
“Life is fun — your clothes should be too!” is the motto of our two guests today, Cologne Schmidt and Cammy Hebert! Cologne and Cammy are best friends and the founders/co-owners of the incredible company, Show Me Your Mumu — a clothing brand and e-commerce platform that has grown exponentially since its launch in 2010! Their clothing is fun, comfortable, easy, and incredibly fashionable! They’re the kind of pieces you can wear anytime, anywhere.
Cologne and Cammy have such an interesting dynamic being both best friends and business partners. They’re also big proponents of giving back and practicing gratitude, which makes them the perfect fit for this month’s theme of gratitude!
In today’s episode, Cologne and Cammy share stories of their humble beginnings with Show Me Your Mumu, how they have navigated their friendship as business partners, what it is that makes the ‘mumu’ so special (as well as the process behind it all!), how they find balance between work-related issues and their personal lives, and their tips for practicing gratitude personally as well as through your business.
