The Courage to Start: How Lucie Pushed Past Fear & Built Green Panther
What if the hardest moment of your life was actually the beginning of something extraordinary?"
That’s exactly what happened to Lucie Durie, founder of Green Panther. After burning out from corporate life and spending over a year bedridden with chronic fatigue, she found herself at a breaking point. But instead of staying stuck, she turned her healing journey into a mission—to create a skincare brand that wasn’t just another ‘clean beauty’ label, but a radical statement of power, integrity, and self-trust.
In this episode, Lucie shares:✅ How hitting rock bottom became the catalyst for her business✅ The shocking truths about the beauty industry that fueled her fire✅ Why she refused to cut corners—even when manufacturers told her to✅ The deeper meaning behind Green Panther (it’s more than just skincare—it’s a movement)✅ Her #1 piece of advice for women ready to stop dreaming & start DOING
If you’ve ever felt stuck, doubted yourself, or wondered if you truly have what it takes—this episode is for you.
Listen now & get inspired to take bold action in your own business!
Your host:
Hey, I'm Nina Huchthausen, your host & the founder of the Makers Business Tribe. After more than 15 years scaling tech startups and government projects across the globe, I’ve seen firsthand what it takes to turn ideas into powerhouse companies. I’ve had the chance to lead the growth of some fantastic teams and now-global companies like Bike Exchange and MadPaws, driving successful IPOs and tripling revenue along the way. With a Master’s in International Business and Project Management, my background is all about organizational strategy, leadership, and finding those little time-saving hacks that lead to big growth.
I’ve been lucky to speak at events like CPA Australia’s Women in Leadership, Forward Fest, and Agile Aus, and my own journey scaling a business to seven figures while embracing motherhood has been one of the most fulfilling (and challenging) experiences of my life. My career path took a big turn when I decided to leave corporate life to focus on something closer to my heart: empowering other makers and leaving a positive impact on our planet.
Now, at Makers Business Tribe, I’m here to support our tribe members in laying the groundwork for business success that’s not just profitable but also deeply fulfilling.
