In our latest episode of The Happy WorkLife Podcast, Lord Mark Price sits down with husband-and-wife duo Johnny and Pauline Paterson, the founders of Dr.PAWPAW.
This British beauty brand grew from a simple idea into a globally recognised name. What began as a solution-focused product inspired by the natural benefits of pawpaw has evolved into a multi-award-winning business stocked around the world.
Together, they explore the drive behind building a global brand from scratch, balancing entrepreneurship with family life, and working side by side as partners in both business and marriage.
