Transcript

In 2020. It was the first time we ever had a thousand orders in our queue. And I remember I called one of my managers and I was like, bawling. And I was like, daddy, how are we ever going to ship a thousand orders? Like, we cannot even fathom that many. And I remember she said, we're going to ship them one at a time.

And it just like, I don't know, it was such a pivotal moment. That's just how we've done everything. We've built it one, one stepping stone at a time. Today on the We Share podcast, founder and CEO of Little Mama Shirt Shop China Hansen.

Welcome to the We Share podcast. I'm Julie. I'm Alex. We share ourselves and we provide a platform for others to share. We believe everyone has a purpose and a story to tell. And we're back on the We Share podcast. I'm Julie and I'm Alec, and we have a great guest with us who is a local business owner, which we love to celebrate here.

Local business owner, Mama of Little Mama Shirt shop. Her name is China Hilton. And it's grown. And now it's, co-branding with vast apparel. So they are taking eastern Idaho by storm and just bringing us all the good things we need. Thanks for having me. I'm so excited to be here. Yeah, I'm so excited. I came across your booth at, the Women's Expo, and so I'm always, you know, trying to meet new businesses in town and get to know women in business.

And, a couple of your, I guess, managers were there, and they were just so sweet. And I'm like, what is this? Like? I need to know more about it. And then had the opportunity to meet up with Selina and tour your facility, which I was blown away. Like, you know, it's so nice and organized and it's in right now.

It's where oh, shop 12 different. But it was like a week a week before, I guess, or two weeks ago. And just like your pink, filing cabinet and just how like need it is, and you can tell that so much thought was put into this. So I want you to take us back to how you how about this all came together and happened.

Okay. Yeah. So I started a little mama shirt shop eight years ago. My husband and I actually had the idea when we were moving, you know, a big life change. And I'm kind of a busy body. And so I just. We were packing up boxes one day, and I looked in them, and I was like, I'm going to start a shirt business.

And it has to happen. I already had the name that I wanted to call it Little Mama Shirt Shop, and I already knew in my head what our designs would look like, and my husband was just packaging a box to move and he just looked at me. He's like, could we just do one one life change at a time?

And, so we moved up here, he worked at the Iron Out, and then we launched, a little mama shirt shop. I launched Little Mom Shirt Shop, actually, in the spare bedroom of our rental home in Rexburg. I was actually at, like, a church activity one night, and I just ducked out early, and I was like, I got to go do something really quick, so I have to leave early.

Yeah. Divine got to go. Yeah. He's out. So, I hopped on a Facebook Live and we sold out of all of our inventory the first night, my I was just blown away by the response. It was like, you know, my grandma, my aunt, like friends and family. But we launched on Etsy and we had a really good start there.

Our very first design was raising boys, loving life. And at the time I had two boys and now I have five. So I guess that wow, that sealed my fate. So okay, I just have to tell you any. I have always said this. Anyone who has five plus children has made it into heaven, has two plus boys has made it.

Okay, so I guess on my spot then you are guaranteed okay at this point. That's why I'm so glad to know that because I started with two boys. Yeah, yeah. It's wild. My house is so chaotic and wild now, hence the pink council pink. So there's a lot of feminine energy at Little Mama Shop. We have. We employ 30 women now.

And yeah, so we, I operated out of our spare bedroom for a while and then we moved houses. We bought a home here in Idaho Falls. We operated out of a ten by ten bedroom there. I hired my first employee in that bedroom. And so we worked alongside each other for several months. And when you're moving around producing inventory, it was like touching each other's back, like, oh, sorry, sorry, sorry.

All the time. You know, very small space. And then we moved into our basement. We finished our basement with the business in mind and looking back now, like, wasn't my finest move because, maybe we should have been dreaming a little bit bigger. But we planned our basement so that we could house the business there forever. We made, like, in our guest bedroom, like, this really big closet with extra shelves.

And, like, this is going to last us so long, you know? And we outgrew the basement within, I don't know, 6 to 9 months. So it was pretty fast. I was like a good problem. It was like great problems to have all the closet room they could have. Yes, yes. So we got our first warehouse in 2020 and we were so excited about that.

Those were like really sweet and really hard times. The worlds closed down and our shop blew up. And so, we were working around the clock with neighbors, just Clorox ING the door handles and promising to, you know, stay six feet away from each other. While we tried to get orders out in 2020, it was the first time we ever had a thousand orders in our queue.

And I remember I called one of my managers and I was like, bawling. And I was like, Patty, how are we ever going to ship a thousand orders? Like, we cannot even fathom that many. And I remember she said, we're going to ship them one at a time. And it just like, I don't know, it was such a a pivotal moment.

That's just how we've done everything. We've built it one, one stepping stone at a time. So we did that. We lived at the warehouse basically that year, and I came home and Tyler was working from home, and I just said, either you're quitting or I'm quitting because this is like, no kind of life, you know, we're sustainable. Yeah, we didn't sign up for this.

Like, our kids need a parent, or two parents. Even better. And so I've, we kind of got our ducks in a row and, and decided which goals we wanted to meet before he quit. And then he quit in 2020. Also, looking back, I'm like, that was kind of crazy, middle of a pandemic. But whatever. And then we outgrew our first warehouse.

We were in our second warehouse for a year and a half, and then we built our, our warehouse that we're in right now, and it's 12,000ft². And I hopefully will house this for a very long time. And then, just last month we launched Fast Apparel. So we're really excited about that. Yeah, Selena made me think that you guys are already going to outgrow it.

Let's see. I have a tendency to kind of like dream big, but then like to avoid disappointment, you know, expect it to not happen, you know what I'm saying? So things can just get hired in there. And so my team is always like, could you order more? Like, of course we're going to sell that many of that. And I'm like, no, I only ordered a little anyways.

Yeah, it's hard to to forecast the growth and things like that. But you will like with the more years under your belt, your forecasting will get better. Your inventory skills, you know. Yeah. And then you've got because you don't really have sales. I know the blankets for big. That's. Yeah. And I'm like well do you still have some.

And she's like no worries that he actually put in about an hour or that I could just grab. Yeah. Right there. But yeah, yeah I was going to say about 2020 I have I went onto a podcast to talk about the way that I pivoted in 2020 because I made a huge job change in in 2020, and this radio station took a risk on us in 2020.

I can't tell you how many people that was the year of pivoting. It was. Yeah, it really was. And I think that is just the vibes that were out there. When everything is pulled out from underneath you like, like it was in 2020, it opens up all of these stores and it's just up to the people to walk through it.

Yeah, yeah, 100%. Does your husband miss the site? He doesn't. He liked it, as the engineer or when he did. H.R. Okay. There. So. So now, does he just do HR for you? He does. He does our HR. He does a lot of admin kind of behind the scenes work. He's not appreciated enough because he's not as much on the front lines with the girls like I am.

But he's kind of taking care of everything on the back end and everything that I don't want to do. I just kind of send him an email and I'm like, can you do this, this and this? Well, and that's his skill set. Yeah. Perfect. Yeah. Are your kids old enough to work at the shop? They do a little bit.

Yeah. So my oldest, he's 11, and he is a really talented artist. And so he's, he has a couple of designs in our shop. He drew a really cool trout shirt this year, and we've sold like 2500 of them in the last couple of months. So that's been really fun. And then we but we always put them to work, just smashing boxes and yeah, you know, they kind of destroy the place.

But we try to teach them a little bit of work ethic as much as we can. You should, talk to the trout hunter up in Island Pack and sell it there. Yeah, well, he's in one store in Highland Park right now, which is exciting. And so. Yeah. So fun for you. Yeah. It's fun. That's awesome. That is so awesome.

Okay, where else can we go from here on little mama's story? Like five boys. Are you going to have any more? I think I think we're good. We're going to call it good with my boys. My youngest is nine months, so we just bring the babies to work with us. On the days we don't have a baby sitter, we try to, we have a baby sitter one day a week, and then the other days we we alternate.

And then busy seasons like this. We bring them to work. We just have a little setup upstairs. And while the older three preschool. So the kids know they know the drill at this point, no, I think they learn. I think Allie, from the time she was two to super five with me and, had a big bean bag and she just was really good.

Yeah, but she was a girl. Yeah, yeah, they were. They tear it up in there, but they do. Coffee. Yeah, yeah. So it's really fun devices I know. Help. Yeah. Yeah, a little bit. Yep. There's are. What are your boys names? I have Paxton, Jace, Blake, Caden and Charlie. Oh. Very cute. I love hearing names. What would you say the biggest life lesson lesson has been?

That you have learned from owning your own business and and experiencing this growth? I am a big believer. I mean, if I kind of, I think I said this on every podcast interview I've ever done, but my motto is fail the fear and do it anyway. And so I really think, unless you're brave or at least trying to be brave, you're just not going to get very far.

So the very first year that I was in business, I bought myself a necklace that said courage on It. And I still have it, and I still wear it on days when I need it. But I really think that that is kind of the secret sauce of being willing to do the things that other people won't. Being willing to kind of push the boundaries and go the places that people want go.

And I think that's what takes you to the next level. So do you have a favorite shirt design that you've done? Is there one that just rests on your heart? Well, do you have that on a shirt filled affair? I do have that, so that's probably one of my favorites. But I kind of a basic girl, so I often just wear, the ones that say mama just kind of in a varsity font.

And I just feel like that's like the most all encompassing, but my favorite designs, that's something that people always ask me, and I feel like my designs change all the time, my favorites. But I still have my very first shirt that I ever made. It's in my office and I don't wear it as much anymore. But I do love that one and that one is the raising.

Yeah. Raising boys. Yeah. That's so wonderful. What's the most profitable thing for you right now? Is it online? Orders? Etsy. What? Where do you get to most play? Yeah. So we have a really an Instagram following which funnels to our website. And so we our website orders are the bulk of our work. And then that is picking up a lot of traction very quickly.

So we are working hard to scale quickly and it's a lot sometimes feels like it's running me right over. But my team's been awesome. I've told them many times, it's so much fun and so cool to start a business with like group of people and like lots of ideas and lots of minds coming together instead of just me and my spare bedroom being like, hey guys, I'm going to start a business.

We've been able to do this one, really strategically and like the Women's Expo where we met you guys was that was our very first event that we've ever done that was like kind of the introduction to the world, a vast. So, we feel like that's going to be the big thing. I, I know I saw this with Selena that day, and, so I'll share with you.

Is just the name vast? Yeah. It's, you know, infinite. It's like, never ending. It's always such a brilliant name. And then I'm an outdoor enthusiast. And so it's peaks and valleys in your logo. Yeah. So transcending to like, reproduce. It's like iconic. You guys did a really great job with the branding I love it. Thank you. Yeah, we were really, really excited about that.

I actually read because Red Shoe Dog. Yeah, I have a Nike, the Nike. I'm like slightly obsessed with that book. I read it like three times this summer. I listened to it while I was running every day. And I love this story of how they, came up with the Nike name for the brand, and and he paid his graphic designer $35 to, to design the Nike swoosh.

And so I told my team, if you members, my team were standing there after work one day and and $35 in 1960, whatever translates to like $300 today. And so I told them, I think it's like $280. And I said, I'll give give you guys $280, if you name it, something cool, it's got to be short. It has to have a strong letter sound, and it's got to be like inspiring.

So we went through tons of names. We wrote them all on a board in my office. We looked through them, we talked about what did we we were going to call it Sky. We were we talked about peak, like a few names like that, and then we really just landed on it and we loved that analogy of like, we've really leaned hard into this space, kind of because it tells the analogy.

Yeah, yeah. I just feeling like the sky isn't the limit for our business or for anyone else's. And so we can provide merch for them. That's totally custom to their brand that tells their story. So that's been really fun and exciting for us. We love that. So Vast Apparel is, this is the where you product brand for people.

Yeah, yeah. So they can just come to us with whatever they want. Their logo, or they come with a design that they want to bring to life or or they come to us with an idea. We also bring their design to life. They're doing ours. Yeah. So, Sand Hill Media Group, they're going to be doing our Christmas gifts for our employees this year, and we're excited.

I know everyone is really excited to give me their order and I'll pick their selection and then reshare until it doesn't know this. Yeah. So they're making hoodies and crew necks for us. And so that is under way. And I have worked for Selena. We're just doing a first batch small run, but we're hoping to offer those to our listeners that you can buy either from our website or directly from them.

We'll figure out how we're going to make that happen, but we're just excited to share that. And, our core values are all going to be on the back. So that's really exciting. Awesome. Yeah, that we love it. We've loved getting to know other business owners. I'm here about people's projects and events and things that they're doing. It's been super cool.

It's been so different. They need logo gear. They need like, I mean, some of my favorite brands, but I've come across it from my daughter because, yeah, the youth are like, yeah, share everything. Our lonely ghost, And I'm sure. Yeah. And dandy hoodies. And that's just what, like the youth today. The teens. Yeah. They want their hoodies and they.

And they want them. Yeah. It's like a drive on. Like a. Really? Yeah. You're on extra-large minds and like, you're five three. Yeah, I, I don't get it, but you're disappearing in there. But it's just about comfort. Yeah. And your products are like the greatest quality. And, they're made well. So soft. Great colors. Yeah. There's really nothing you guys can't do.

Well, we're we're trying to trying to make it happen. So that was that goal from. Yeah. Where does it go? I mean, I just hold on. This year we built a rocket ship with launching it and I'm like, next year we're landing it on the moon. We're just going to scale with fast as big as we can, which is going to be really exciting.

And so we've, we've been able to be a part of the Accelerate Idaho program. You guys know what that is? I've heard about it. Okay. So we were actually the very first business in the program. And it just started this year. And so that's been really cool. We've had access to some really awesome, really smart people who are mentoring and to you for that, actually, funny story.

How much time? Yeah. So it was in March or April and, as, as you guys know, like, business is really hard. And I was having a very hard moment melt down to my husband who had a newborn. I had anyway, I'm like, I'm like, and I can't even remember, like what the reason was. But I remember I was just like bawling to him when I like sa moans like, hormones are faster.

I'm like, I'm so tired, I can't do this anymore. Like, this is I'm such a hamster in a whale like you know, we're not getting the results we want. The economy is hard. All of these things. And, and I was like, I'm kind of ready to quit. Like, I don't know if I want to do this anymore.

And he's now looking back. He's like, I really thought, like, maybe you were done that night. I've never seen you that done before. Anyways, I got up the next morning and, you know, my eyes were all puffy from crying and I'm like, okay, I that's like typical. Maybe not all business owners, but that's like my life cycle. Like, you know, it's wonderful.

And I cry about it. And then you just get up the next morning, just do it. And just continue is going to do it. Nobody's going to do it. You know, I don't I can't quit like I have that option. You have employees. Yeah. Like I'm yeah that is a luxury to be able to quit. And I don't have that option and I don't want to but my lawyer called and I'm like, oh, great.

What does he want? You know, I'm already like, down in the dumps. And he calls and he's like, China. I cannot stop thinking about you. He's like, this is so weird. The timing is so weird. You might think this is strange, but, we a couple of guys who belong to the Chamber of Commerce have formed, like a little cohort called Accelerate Idaho.

And we're looking for, like, the very first business to be, you know, in the program. And I keep thinking of yours. And I came to my office this morning, and I look through my clients and, and I just feel like it needs to me, you know, like, we we've kind of thrown out all of these options and, and we just keep coming back to like, what you have and what cool thing it is.

What do you think about that? And I was like, oh my gosh, how did you know that? I was absolutely having a meltdown? And that sounds great, you know? So, so we started working with them in the spring, and they are a group of guys, which Tyler liked to rub shoulders with. Some guys. So he's like, oh, I got my bro.

Yeah. So there's like seven of them. And they've all had a lot of success in growing, scaling businesses. And so we've had mentorship from them this year and they've helped us really kind of expedite the, the scaling of vast, which has been awesome. So that's been awesome. I mean, that's cool. So have they gone on to help other businesses now how they do?

I think they've got like probably I don't know what they told me like 7 or 10 businesses that they're working with locally now. So do you know their process. Do they choose then or can you have to apply now. And so they and a funny thing is when they came over, I mean like they're wildly successful, you know, they're they're not like I'm not used to hanging out with people like them.

Well, but it probably excites them. They're like, we need our money, we want help. That's what they want to do. And so they came over to my warehouse one day, like in April, and we kind of had to pitch our business to them. And, I mean, my baby was like, it's like was like a local. It was I love it.

And my baby was screaming. My other baby was like flying around. They're on a scooter. My kids are like, let's go. This is boring, you know? And I just was off that day. We showed them around and it was just a complete chaotic disaster. And they walked out the door and we just waved. And I'm. And I just like to Tyler.

And I was like, we freaking blew it. Like, there's no way they're going to want to work with us. And it wasn't like 20 minutes later that they called and they're like, okay, yeah, like, when do we start? So, it's awesome. They're like, they need us. Yeah, yeah, it was awesome. And so now they have I think they have several businesses applying to work with them.

But I was going to say that they know what is the makings of something. Yeah. Well they know what it takes inside to make something big. Yeah. The kid on the is not going to interrupt that, right. Yeah. Yeah. No looking back now I can see that for sure. Well, and that's how I need. The minute I saw your booth and I saw the name and I saw your product and like, oh, yeah, where have you been?

I have seen a few Instagram posts. Yeah. And I had a couple other friends who promote and share your product that I follow and like play tennis with or whatnot, but I'm like, okay, I need to know more about this. Like I wanted to because I wanted to be a part of the movement, so to speak, and help them.

Yeah, I think we've we've had a couple of people tell us that we've done things very backwards and like upside down, inside out. And I at first was like, that's perfect. I know. And I was like, I'm not sure how they take that, you know, like, there's no rules. Yeah. There's I'm like, okay, we've done things backwards from the typical businesses.

And I'm like, do I want to look into that? Or do I just want to roll with it and be like, all right, it's worked for us and it's captured us some attention from, you know, really successful people. So maybe I don't want to know the reason it has worked. And I have listened to, like, a lot of podcasts and talk to very successful business owners.

And if we all waited till everything was perfect or we knew everything to start our business, we wouldn't start. Yeah, because there's something about getting, you know, down and yeah, just roll up your sleeves and it's so messy. And there are some things that feel so disorganized and chaotic and, and yet we can still pull it together and offer a great product and, and build a community hired.

Because I'm sure that a lot of those ideas that came to you, you probably have moments where you're like, this is pure inspiration. Yeah. For sure. Definitely. Well, and I mean, if I've heard great things from somebody who just spent a little bit of time with you, you're doing it right. I'm like, yeah, yeah, thank you. In general, people don't love when other people are successful.

And if you've created an atmosphere where people are all on the same team and are trying to be successful together, yeah. That's winning. Yeah. Well, and I think like our team is so awesome. I mean, we, we call our brand with little mama shirt, shall we say it's the sisterhood of motherhood. And we employ almost all moms. And most my very favorite women to interview are the ones who come in.

They're like, I don't have an impressive resume. I haven't worked in 15 years. I went to stay at home mom. But like, I've got this, this and this going for me. And I'm like, you're hired because the moms, like, the moms, get it done and the moms can see moms are the hardest. They're the hardest workers. They can multitask.

They can problem solve. And so it's been really fun this year to to build something new together and create opportunities, new opportunities for people who who want them in our business. So a perfect example of meeting Selena. Yeah. And give me her title for you. Like. Yeah. So she's. Yeah. So she's our customer relations. So she's actually we she's like leading our sales team of one currently but plans to expand that very soon.

But yeah she started working just over a year ago with us. And, she had been a stay at home mom for years. And then she started working in production, and then she started working in production, specifically. And then we said, okay, we're opening a sales seat, you know, and it's our first, position that's based on commission and, and that kind of thing.

And she applied for it. And like, I'm like, you can never leave. She is killing it. It's amazing. She's great. But something she said to me, she's like, oh, you need to have China on your podcast. You need to hear her story. And so when a coworker, an employee, a confidante, yeah, sisterhood of those things can say that about you.

I'm like, yes, we do. I want to hear her story. And I'm like, okay, don't tell me it. Then I'm going to save it. I want to hear about yeah, you live here on the show. So yeah. And I mean it it when I said that's a win, it truly is a win because I don't think there is.

I'm going to use the word vast, a vast amount of women out there that love to celebrate each other. So when you do find those people, yeah, that's your that's your tribe. Literally just go to her Instagram page and it's all women celebrating women. Yeah. Such a happy it's fun. Good thing it's getting it. It's been fun to I think we've just like attracted those people to our team, you know.

And then they've really like leaned into our values and, and been able to exemplify them in all that we do. You know and sign outside. We've got a book club, we've got we a movie club. We go to dinner, we. And so it's really fun to see especially, who has now. Motherhood can be so lonely when you're home with little kids, and there's been so many women that we've hired that have been home for years and didn't feel like they had friends, or that they're good at anything.

Yeah. And then they come to work and they've made, like, lifelong friends. And then I see them like traveling together with their families. And I'm like, I set that up, you know, like you created the space and the opportunity for them. Yeah. So I love that. It's been awesome. Really good. Okay. Before we end the podcast, we would love for you to share.

Maybe, a life experience you had that was changing or something that, is a motto for you or your guiding light. You know, I know you kind of did with you. I know with our fear. Yeah. But, and if there's anything else or or just, you know, what your, your core values are, but whatever. You feel inspired.

Yeah. Yeah. Okay. I, I'm a big believer in leaving some room for magic in the business and in life, but, my team, you know, they're they're organized gals. They're much more organized than me, and they've they finally got me to operate on a calendar this year. Eight years in. I've been very resistant to that. But I'm like, no, no.

Now, if we schedule our pulse, then they're not inspired. Or if we schedule our our holiday lot to, you know, I have to do it on the fly. I have to do it when it comes to me. And they've been like China. We have to have some sort of structure. You know, we have to be able to work ahead a little bit.

And so they've they've helped me see that there can be magic in that too. But I really believe in that. And, and just like moments of inspiration in business and being able to recognize what those are, I think I've gotten a lot better at that. Leaving room for, like, quiet moments to be inspired. I don't think we can.

I mean, I could work from now. I could disappear from life for six straight weeks and work 24 seven and still not be caught up. You know, you have to get really comfortable with never feeling down or never feeling caught up or ahead. So I just try to make quiet moments, even when there's so much to do and when there's so much chaos.

I live in Shelley, and so it's like a 20 minute drive for me. Oftentimes I don't listen to music or anything, and I just try to, like, leave moments for inspiration. And I mean, one of the first ones I can think of is, years ago when we were in my basement and we had everything in one room, you know, physically, I'm like, okay, I have to keep the business in here.

We have to store all the shirts in here. We have to keep all of the equipment in here. And I can't let it spill over because in my mind, I don't know if I had made the connection. But in my mind, if I let the business out of that bedroom, it would take over my life. And it would, like, run me over, and I wouldn't be able to do it.

And I would lose that time with my kids and my family, which is what's most important to me. And I remember looking into the business room and, and having those feelings and then turning around. It was in a hallway and turning around and looking at our guest bedroom that was just across the hall and rarely use and looking in there and thinking, maybe we could expand into there.

Maybe we could, maybe we could put up one shelf in there, you know, and, I had the strongest impression in that moment, looking in that empty room. Let it grow. And I just like, I just knew, like I was the one keeping a lid on it. And I think that's often times I mean, there's that quote, like, we're all living our life in cages with the door wide open.

I realized that I was keeping keeping myself small because I was scared. And when I let it grow into that room and now it's grown into several rooms and several warehouses. And so I've had a few moments. Even this year, I've had some strong impressions, like, you have not had your best year yet and and you have everything you need to grow.

And so letting those moments, like those thoughts drop in and believing that they were meant to be there. And then just like running with them, not questioning, not thinking on them too much, not doubting them and just going, so I love this so much. Well, for not knowing what you were going to say, that was pretty darn awesome.

Well, thanks. Yeah, I think I was inspired for sure. Yeah, yeah. Well, thank you so much for your time. Thanks for having me, Joy. And I expect it to grow bigger. I'm we're here, I am I'm ready for all the vastness. Yeah, yeah. Ready? Cool. Thanks, guys. All right. Bye bye.
