Mimi Laser: A Journey of Resilience and Community Building

I do really believe 100% from every part of me that everyone has the capacity to be able to do the things that they want and not to be held back by the mental baggage that's in our head that we want to push through.

Welcome to the do the Thing podcast. In each episode, we get down and personal with people who go after the things they want to make all their wildest dreams come true. Join us as we unveil and dissect a formula for what it takes to do the thing. Here is your host, Stacy Lauren.

Hey, everyone. Welcome to the do the Thing podcast. This is your host, Stacy Lauren. Well, you guys, I'm excited because I love it when I get to see people that are doing extraordinary things, and not only for themselves, but for other people, too. And I met my next guest, guest, actually, through my amazing cousin and got to just really be a part of what her company is doing for the world, really. I even bought some of her candles for a friend of mine who became obsessed and addicted and loves them. And there's so much that she's doing that I love, and especially the community and the space that she's creating with the business and the brand that she's got. And so I'm so excited to welcome Mimi to the show. Hi, Mimi.

Hi. Excited to be here.

I know. I'm so excited. I feel just immediately relaxed being with you.

Great. I have the bottles out here for us, burning some collective energy, cleansing for us. Always important to set the tone and whatever we're doing.

So it's so cool I was seeing you. And for those of you listening. Yeah. When you get to watch the YouTube, because there's something really special about getting to see someone else, even. Especially when you're going, going, going, going, and then you see the intentional moment. Right. Where you're able to actually just take space for yourself and what you're experiencing. I need more of that in my life.

So I loved.

I loved kind of being part of that experience with you.

Exactly. That's exactly what we do. It's hard to create space for ourselves sometimes. You know, it's always great to leave it up to the people that do those things best. Right. So we can just kind of surrender into it and let those things take over because everybody is busy doing whatever thing that they're doing. Right. So, yeah. In that way. And into people's lives through the power of Palo Santo and daily ritual.

So with that, I'd love to hear your story and kind of, how are you even doing what you're Doing and all of the stuff.

Sure. So a really condensed version is that I was a New York City restaurant girl working and living in Manhattan, working at one of New York's top restaurants. I love my restaurant days. And actually in the beginning when I first started the business, I said, wow. I don't really know that much about business because I spent the last 17 years working in restaurants. And what I realized was actually it's what has given me all of the skills and resilience to get to where I am now. So that was my background in New York. And we had been traveling back and forth to Ecuador for personal reasons through my best friend in New York City, who was also a restaurant girl with me. And I just fell in love with the place. I fell in love with Ecuador. I brought my family there. We had so many different projects going on. I'm not going to go into all of the ones that went up and down, but the way that the universe showed me that I was really craving to make a deeper impact, not just through hospitality, but through really inspiring people to connect to their creative potential. Because what I had realized through my journey of transitioning from a full time restaurant career person to a small business owner in the health and wellness space especially, which took a couple of years to navigate through, I realized that I was looking to leave a legacy. I was looking to be a part of something bigger. And I said, wow. I was transformed by the Palo Santo itself and Ecuador, which if you go on my website, you can kind of read the story of how it happened that particular night. It was from a movie. Everybody was on the beach walking. It was late and me and my husband, Red, were walking and we saw this billow of smoke coming from the little shop and it was classical music playing. And we met our Paro Santo mentor, which are now our suppliers and partners in Ecuador and dear friends family members there now. And this was 2016, so we're going into year nine. And I was fixated and transformed by the person at first about the knowledge and the passion that they had and explaining to me what this was, why it was going to help me, because I was there in a moment of limbo. I wouldn't call it depression, but it was more like, what am I doing with my life? What am I doing? I thought the restaurant was my world. I thought I was going to own restaurant and Ecuador and hotels and all this. And things took a change and I had to really sit down with myself, which I had never done before, and ask myself what I wanted to do and we had about a month of that and we were so lucky to have that time. And we started burning paro Santo in the house and smoking our entire house and just doing it with meditation and just loving the product so much that we were bringing it back and forth with us on a suitcase, using it to pay for our plane tickets back and forth to Ecuador. Because at the time, I have this as a representation of. We had a Moroccan rug company, so we used to design these beautiful pillows and rugs in Morocco, where my husband is from. And we started kind of experimenting with essential oils and candles and incense to pay our booth fees. Because selling rugs in Manhattan that are really big, when people have small apartments, it's not as easy as you think. I didn't really think that went through a hundred percent. But it was through this business that we also developed our love for social good. Now we were funded by a company called Kiva or an organization, kiva.org which is a non profit that funds small businesses looking for zero percent interest capital to build companies that do something for other people. So in Morocco, we had our part in a small school where we built part of a wall, was very small, but it was just like, wow, I can make products that are super cool, amazing people love them, and we can help people. This kind of checked off all the boxes in my heart space. I was like, I love this, I love doing this. And I was super excited about it. And as we slowly transitioned into working more and more with Baro Santos, bringing it to the restaurant, I was selling it on the street, I was hustling it out of my coat. It was crazy. It was crazy times with Baro Sando. And it opened up a whole new world to me. And it became another avenue of conversation that I began to explore. And I got to use it to deepen my existing yoga practice. And in 2018, I quit my job, left the restaurant on my birthday as a gift to myself, just as a gift for take that plunge, take that ultimate leap of freedom. And we went to Ecuador for six months and we developed our deep knowledge and understanding of where it came from, the traditions, the people. We got to learn more about the culture which I was already had been living in the country at that point for four years on and off between there and New York. So we were already familiar, but really focused on now the nature. And we started developing our brand. Tenants of sustainability, community, giving back and really planting not just seeds of Baro Santo, because we do support reforestation with our brand, but also now seeds of inspiration in the hearts of our customers. So our journey has taken us through learning how to open a business, create e commerce stores, deal with photography and graphic design. Before, Canva was a thing, right things grassroots, do it together as a family unit and work in communities that are in another country. So really, the journey itself, our story is really a story of growth. And I have grown as a person through this vehicle of the business. Our original name was Magic Carpets, Magic with a K. And we eventually switched over in 2018, we did the official switch to Maison Palo Santo. And mizon means house in French because our family is French. And. And Palo Santo is the product is the wood, which translates to holistic. So we are the house of Holywood, essentially. And it's been a really, really beautiful time. And now we're located in Austin, Texas, and we share our space between here in Austin and at our property in Ecuador.

Wow, that's incredible. I love what you said too, about how your restaurant experience has translated into what you're doing now, because I don't think people value as much how much your skills that you've done, regardless of what it is and how translatable it is into every place in your life. I was curious, how do you think you actually took the leap, quitting your job on your birthday and then jumping in? Because that's the ultimate do the thing moment?

Well, I had support, and I had support from my partner, from my husband, who always wanted something more for me. And I'm not gonna put this all a hundred percent on him, of course, because I took all of the action. But he planted a seed. And I'll get back to this in a moment. Sometimes if somebody plants a seed in you, it's that little kind of support that you need to even bring the thought to your mind, like, hey, wait a minute, maybe I could actually do this. Let me start thinking about it. And I had divine intervention from the universe as well, because after leaving my job and after not having that steady income for a while, which was a pretty great, significant income too, I started freaking out. And I wanted to move back to the city and get a job again. And I literally fell down the stairs and broke my foot.

Oh, my gosh.

And when I fell down the stairs and broke my foot, I ended up having to stay with my mom in Jersey. I couldn't work, I couldn't walk, I couldn't do anything, which for somebody like me is really, really hard. So what did I do? I learned how to launch an E Commerce brand. And I used that time to really Focus in on the actual meat and potatoes of the business side of it. And what really made me take the leap was following my heart really. I mean, I don't know, I'm somebody that, I think that has been blessed with an opportunity to do what they think because what could happen, I've never been a big. I don't want to say that on plan because I love to plan, but I really believe in experiencing it and judging from the experience versus what people tell you is going to happen. Because when I left my job, everybody told me that I was crazy and people didn't believe it. And actually some people were even went across that line and even got negative with me saying, oh, you'll never make money doing that, you'll be back in a year or whatever. And I just think that having that ultimate dedicated focus which most people can only have when there's a catastrophe, and this comes from meditations and self care and being around people, being inspired by people that were already doing the things and being that sponge of motivation and inspiration. And then when we got more into it, one of the biggest things that really helped me was that I did get a business coach. I did get a coach and that gave me the confidence to learn just enough that I realized that I had a lot more knowledge than I thought that I had. So it was really, really empowering. And everybody used to laugh at me because I remember when the very first day. So if you're out there and you're listening and you want to start something but you're embarrassed because you think that you're too old to be doing the thing or whatever, don't even worry about it. Because I went to this business meeting in front of so many people, founders, million dollar business owners, and they started talking about KPIs and all I could think about was the kewpie mayonnaise in the, in the restaurant. And so I raised my hand and I said, I'm really sorry but you're going to have to explain what that means. And I could see that there were other people that were really interested in the answer. So people will thank you if you speak up if you don't know the answer. And I think just having that capability, that humbleness of like, I don't know, can you explain it? I don't know. Can you help me? I don't know, can you teach me? And that's a really. It's a skill that takes time to develop. But if you do it once, the more you do it, the easier it gets. So that really, really helped me a lot.

I think there's so many people that got hung up about what will people think of me.

And I don't want to look dumb.

Or I don't want to seem like I don't know something. But what they don't realize is, well, number one, like what you said, by you doing that, you're creating the space for other people to either feel comfortable doing it or at least learn from what you're asking. But also you're giving the people that know the information and whether that's the leader who's ever leading the room, the coach or whomever, or the people that are with you, you're giving them that feeling of contribution because they feel good to be able to share something that they know and they all of a sudden feel even more empowered to do what they're doing because they know more.

Absolutely. And I think that just this open flow of conversation, I feel sometimes we are so connected as people now of all over the world on every social media platform and sometimes. But just that openness and being able to just be authentic with no judgment is really important.

Yeah. So you've built this amazing brand and you're not only commerce now, you're doing all other kinds of stuff. I mean, that's still a big part of your business, but I'd love to have you kind of expand a little bit more about what you're doing.

Sure. So we launched products on Amazon to start, we've pretty much sold on every third party platform and kind of navigated our ways out of the ones that we've outgrown. As we have a direct to customer website. Thanks to our very amazing mutual friend Randy, who does a great job with that. So through that brand development story, through that, we were able to identify other brands and other businesses that we aligned with. And since I'm also a yoga teacher and meditation guide, I naturally was inclined to start bringing the products to yoga studios. And I was like, wow. And then when I went down the rabbit hole of these quote unquote aromatherapy products that were being used in yoga studios and I was looking at the ingredients, I wasn't necessarily presenting the product in that way, but I was just presenting it in a way that here's a way to use Palo Santo. You don't even need to use smoke. Right. Because in a lot of yoga studios, we want to have a lot of smoke going. The windows are closed all the time and we just want to make sure that we're abiding to everybody's standards. Not everybody likes to have that experience. So we had this entire line of products that were being used in yoga studios sprays and the candles and I started giving them to yoga teachers and they started using them in classes. And we started selling in boutiques here in Austin, also in New Jersey, also in New York City. And through that I was able to also identify that personalization and making special gifts for specific yoga studios was a great way for us to up level their experiences. Right. So we would find yoga studios and I'll reach out to them and say, hey, I know you're doing these beautiful, awesome retreats. Let's keep the vibe going after your people leave the retreat by offering them a gift that's customized with your brand name on it. We'll do a candle, we'll do a boro santo stick, we do a little gift set and then they can remember through the power of scent. So that was kind of our end to working with boutiques. We started going to trade shows as well. We've done a couple of shows where we've got wholesale accounts. We're now in 17 out of 50 states. Small boutiques for now. Also working on some larger independent retailers for 2024 and 2025. And we were really lucky because setting up the business from the beginning with wholesale capability was one of the greatest things that we did because a lot of times some people set up their product based businesses in a way where the pricing would never allow them to actually sell wholesale or to scale the business in any way. So we were very lucky and fortunate. And we always blame it on the paro santo that it protected us from the beginning, even when we didn't know 100%. But we were really making decisions intuitively and from deep within our hearts, knowing exactly what the value was, I think being rewarded with that later. And then that led us to developing and then as you know, the whole shutdown happened through that. We're very busy with our E commerce. I don't know if anybody here is listening has ever sold something online, but during that time a lot of things were happening. Very, very busy. We were shipping things out in plastic, but I mean it was insane because there was no supplies. I mean, we're not going to take us back to that trauma. But anyway, we spent a couple of years in Austin actually and then we decided we were going to go back to New York and we said, we're going to drive back to New York. And this was 2021. And this is where I started to get really excited because I was Looking on websites of restaurants and yoga studios that were on our journey, on our way and different places that we were going to stop. And I would look at the website and I would find yoga teacher names or the general manager or the name of the restaurant or the city at least. And I would hand solder with a soldering iron in the hotel rooms the names of the people and I would hand them out for free. We took some social media stuff. You have to really scroll back on our social media feedback, but if you want to check it out. And people were just meeting us in tears. They were so happy because I would literally go to the yoga studio. I made my husband take so much yoga, I mean, he couldn't even walk afterwards. He was good though. At the end I was like, this is like an intensive. And people were just laughing and smiling and hugging me and saying, this is the most thoughtful thing everybody has done. And I was like, wow. I mean, I love doing it. And then some people were asking me, well, what is it? And I was like, wow. Because I could understand the restaurants, but I didn't understand the yoga studios. And I said, oh, Mimi, not everybody knows what is Palo Santo and we can do it with yoga. So my brain was like, it was firing up that entire car ride back home, which I think is like a 30 hour ride. And we made an entire trip out of it. It probably took us about 10 days to get through the whole thing. But through that we said, you know what? We now want to offer experiences with our products as well.

And so what did the experiences look like?

So the experiences look like a really beautiful, dynamic combination of yoga, energy, cleansing, movement and sustainability talk. So we partner with yoga studios, health and wellness centers, corporate offices where we'll show up. We bring Palo Santo bake large pieces from the forest so that we can actually kind of see what the raw material looks like. I feel like there's a lot of disc connect in a lot of industries. Whether it's, you know, food or coffee or tea or these like sage and Paro Santo and these type of, you know, plants that come from exotic places, we kind of forget what they look like in the raw form or maybe we've never seen it. And it brings a sense of reverence to it. Like, wow, this came from that. Which comes from a place that represents the Mantegna culture from my times. And we go through the history of the paro Santo. But during this experience, so that we're not making it boring because there's nothing boring about us is that we do it through a movement, right? We do it through a breathing exercise. And it's also very music based, so we use silent disco headphones. It's very immersive. And we go through this beautiful flow that takes us through, showing reverence, learning about sustainability, dropping into a meditation, doing a little energy cleansing, and then we also do a great breath work. And the breath work that we do is so approachable and rhythmic and transformative and it's easily done by all. So it's nothing that even if you show up and you're a shaman and you've been doing this for 40 plus years, you can really go deep into it. If you've never done anything like this before, which is our favorite person to invite, then you can really have a transformative experience and hopefully be motivated to maybe do something more of that for yourself, which is really just forgetting about the external and bringing all of the energy back into the internal. Because truly we have everything we need inside. And as a business owner, I mean, I was like the shiny object lady. I was like, I gotta do this, I gotta get this program, I gotta do this. And everything was swirling and swirling and swirling and then realize I had to bring everything inside and really develop a true belief in myself. And so Baro Santo Sacred Journey over the past three years now has really developed into this workshop to plant seeds of inspiration and to connect to our innate creative potential. And also to plant seeds of Palo Santo. And just to remind our community that when you're a part of our brand, when you're a part of our business, when you buy something from our website, it's not just a regular candle company, it's not just a regular photo Santo company. You have the opportunity to connect with us as deep as you want to go. If you want to just buy a candle and give it to your friend and just enjoy the aroma, that's fine. If you want to do it and you want to meditate with it, you can. If you want to join us and an experience in a city near you, you can. And all the way on the last stop is joining us in Ecuador at one of our upcoming yoga retreats. So that's the very final stop on the Mison Pero Santo train as of now.

I love how it's just sort of unfolded as you've done each step right. You didn't have a master plan. It was just kind of like you did one thing and then something else opened up and something else opened up.

Absolutely. And it sounds all like rainbows. But even today I had something I'm being really personal with you guys right now is that even today I had something that was on the table that I've been working for for a really long a contract with a really big vendor to be a part of their hotels. And although I thought it was signed in stone, it's actually not happening. And my husband sent me a message saying just remember that you're already doing it, you're already there, so don't even think about it one more step because you're already there. So I had to grab my journal and I literally had to write two pages and I'm showing you guys of my I am statements about who I am. Because what happens is sometimes when we get news or things don't work out, we forget who we are and we focus on that thing and then we bring this energy and then the energy that we put out is what we attract. Right. So already one thing happened, right. I didn't get the contract. I don't need more things to start happening because I start bringing in self doubt. So hopefully this will create some sort of learning that I will be able to process about that.

Yeah, I think that's such a good reminder. And especially as each new level you get to, it's like you have to remind yourself again. Cuz you almost go back to where you were mentally because you're having to do something new and that you haven't done before.

Absolutely. And it's just like I used to get not angry, I used to get frustrated that every single day I had to get out of my comfort zone. Every single day I was doing something that I had no idea how to do it. And now I look at it as a blessing because my brain is constantly being activated. And I feel that sometimes one of the things that was bothering me at the end of my restaurant career, which is not over by the way, you guys, Mizo Paro Santo will hopefully have some sort of tea house, meditation lounge, cafe situation happening in the future. So stay tuned. Throwing it out there right here, right now. But it was very repetitive, right? The same thing all the time, saying the same words, seeing the same people. And maybe some businesses are like that and there's nothing wrong with that. Some people really, really enjoy that. And I did for a really long time. And then I realized that also it was okay to change that. It's really okay to change and it's okay to change what you want and the environment that you're in. And it's okay to create the things that you need around you in order to find what you're looking for, or at least to enjoy the process, which is something that I'm also actively working on daily. Because we are doing it. This is it. I've kind of released any attachment to the outcome. Also understanding that I really like what you said because it's not necessarily like one day Nordstrom, Saks Fifth Avenue, Macy's.com, and anthropology, they're all going to order on the same day. Right. And I'm going to have 10,000 units a month in a new account and I'll be able to build the pool at the retreat center.

Right.

It just doesn't all happen like that. It's happening step by step and I'm enjoying the process of it. So I hope that whatever you're doing, you guys just enjoy it. Because when we can embody the feelings of enjoyment and peace and happiness, they'll happen for us. They will.

Something else too is that so many people, they're depending on the algorithm. Right. Or thinking that Instagram's gonna blow everything up, but you're going after it physically going to these places. And I'd love to just have you speak to that, what that's like and maybe the rejection and how you're dealing with that. Because I think that's so hard. That's so hard for people to understand.

Yeah. One thing that I had to get rid of is being in love with my product. I had to get rid of that. Of course I'm in love with my product, but it's not everybody's job to be in love with it. And I feel that sometimes there's an energy that we forget that because we are so immersed in the project. If we speak to somebody that doesn't have the same rapid fire response or same passion in their answers or maybe doesn't understand what we're talking about, it can feel almost like it's an offense. Right. We kind of get hurt. So that's one thing that I've realized that just present it for what it is and let people make their own decisions. Just make sure that whatever it is that you're presenting, it's the best that you can provide with the knowledge that you have at the moment. And that's what it is. I've had the best time doing grassroots marketing. That for me has had the largest return on my investment when it comes to time. And everybody has a different strategy when you talk about. And they're all strategies. Right. We all have different ways that we go about things and we have to kind of Test things out and keep throwing it against the wall until something sticks and times change, products change, demographics change. So you kind of have to be very flexible. That's one of the things that I've always been able to do as well, is to just be flexible with things. If things have to change, just kind of go with it. But going to actual locations, walking in with my products in my hand and walking into a store or to a yoga studio and saying, hi, my name is Mimi Durra and I'm the founder of Mison Pero Santo. Is there a buyer that I can talk to? Where's the apothecary section? Oh, my God, I love these clothes. What I realized is that working with small businesses, other small businesses, is something I love to do because I know them, I know what they're going through. I know that they have 182 emails that they didn't get to. They can't sleep at night because they're thinking about all of the things that they didn't get done. They're also thinking about all of the things that they could do if they had that better program or if they had more employees or if things weren't happening right. So I already have the feeling I use comedy as my relief, not just in my pitch and not just to help me. If you guys ever get an email from me, you'll see laughter is my best medicine. Showing a smile and a little bit of compassion to another small business owner has been one of the best things that I've ever could possibly do, because it's about creating relationships. And creating relationships is it's a lot of work and it takes time and it's a give and take. So one of the things that's worked for me is supporting other businesses going into a place, into a yoga studio, but not just going in, only asking. Signing up for a class, taking a workshop, buying something from their boutique, joining their email list, understanding who they are getting in their buying cycle, seeing how they communicate with their customers, and doing that for a couple of weeks before I even go and make my pitch to them. Because now I understand where they're coming from. What's important to them is it the sustainability piece? They want to make sure that all the packaging is recycled, which it is, by the way. But are they focused on that or are they focused on price and they want to make sure that they're keeping their products under a certain price? Or are they focused on experiences and they want to bring people in that they only carry products that you're Able to come and do a pop up and talk to the audience, for example. So learning how to speak to people in advance has been something that I've been really good at. And I'm very blessed that the things that I like to do are typically my market research. Take some yoga classes, go do some sound bowls and ask them if they want to collaborate on an event. And that's where I've gotten a lot of traction with my paro santo sacred journey. Because what we'll do is it will collaborate. So now we're leveraging each other's community and we can not only introduce the products and new customers to their business now, we can also get an account with them and sell products in the boutique. So it's really not only what can I get, but what can I give? And I think that this has been something that I've not only enjoyed doing, but I've seen it work.

Yeah, it's that value exchange kind of leads to more co creation too with the other company.

Yeah. And it doesn't always happen right away. And I feel like sometimes too, these relationships, these cycles that we get into with people, it's just about growing this network, this spider web of people that they know. Like for example, if you had somebody call you and say, hey, I want to get a candle or a boro santo for my wife, what should I get her? Maybe you'd say, oh, you should buy from Mimi's brand. Here's the website and it's really great. But it does take time and effort. And what I've seen is that some people, and if you're not good at that. Right. Because that's not everybody's thing. Right. It's not everybody's gift to go in and open doors and talk. Even though if it's not, I challenge you to do it because you'll only get better at it if you do it a couple of times, then it'll become seamless and effortless. But maybe that's something that you can bring on a team member, which is what I'm trying to do now. Or not what I'm trying to do. What I am doing now. This is a habit that my husband is getting me bad. I said I'm trying. What I am now is bringing on more people to support me. Right. More people that believe in the vision, believe in the brand, align with the brand. So now we've got some great affiliates working on brand ambassadorship, promoting the brand. We've got some people doing markets with us so that we can do two markets at the same time on some weekends. And that can also be hard to release control when we're nurturing this baby business into something larger.

I'd love you to share what your number one piece of advice is for people on doing the thing.

Number one piece of advice for people on doing the thing is that if there's something inside you that you want to do, you have to do it, because this is. It's your duty to yourself. And try to. And I know this is really hard. Try not to focus on the how. Try to focus on the feeling of what it would be like if everything was happening in the moment of now. Close your eyes and just visualize the best representation of yourself, whether it's in your best outfit in front of the group of business owners. Are you doing a TED Talk? Are you going to restock inventory at national chain stores? Are you leading people? Are you doing your podcast? Whatever it is that you're doing, just sit down, close your eyes and visualize it. And this can be a really difficult technique at first. And I'll just share one little thing. What we always do in our panel, Sancho Sacred Journeys, is that we start by just thinking about a lemon, right? Close your eyes, think about a lemon. And if you think about it for long enough and how it smells and tastes, it shouldn't take you that long. You can literally do it right now while you're listening to this, I guarantee your mouth will start watering. And what we've now proven to ourselves, and this is from Dr. De Siddel about the da Silva method. But what we've proven to ourselves is that we can create a physiological response in the body from pure imagination because our nervous system does not know the difference between real and imaginary. So one piece of advice is create the internal landscape of success because you're already doing a great job. So just visualizing that and embodying the feelings is going to open up so many doors. And that's amazing.
