Meet Julie Oates: The South African Woman Behind Julz Shoes!
Loading player...
A devastating fire, a R2 million hijacking and a multimillion-rand South African footwear business!
Julie Oates, the incredible woman behind Julz Shoes, has a story worth sharing.
On this week's episode of Good Things with Brent Lindeque, I sit down with Julie to discover how she turned a devastating setback into an opportunity, building Julz Shoes from humble beginnings in Gqeberha into a nationally recognised brand supplying more than 100 retail outlets.
But behind the fabulous shoes and colourful social media videos are some enormous challenges, including an entire shipment of shoes stolen in a hijacking, leaving her business with a R2 million loss.
We also chat about her passion for helping women feel confident, her partnership with Samaritan's Feet to provide school shoes to children in need, and the exciting future of Julz Shoes.
It's a conversation filled with valuable business lessons and a reminder that even the biggest setbacks don't have to be the end of your story.
