Life, Money & Love with Dylan Mullan

In this episode, I sat down with Mia Plecic, the Founder of the Slick Hair Company and creator of the TikTok famous SlickStick. An entrepreneur at heart, the Slick Hair Company is Mia's 6th business venture.

Mia's first ever business Pearly White's Australia, hit 7 figures in revenue with all of the business that followed having varying levels of success. One that from this podcast that Mia says stands out: "Slick stick, was the easiest to do, the quickest to do and the cheapest to launch, and the most successful business she has founded by far."

While scrolling Facebook one day Mia came across a product that was being marketed out of Korea that helps with flyaway hairs. She ordered one and 3 weeks later it arrived at her door step and she was hooked. She had found the next product she was going to launch.

Mia decided to document the whole journey of building the business on TikTok, one of the best decisions of her life as the brand completely took off! She would post videos of her packing orders and would wake up with 3 Million views and $30,000 in sales.
