Episode 15: Vacations in a Microbusiness
Ep 15: Vacations in a maker business
Anne mixes up the video editing this episode and swaps Anne and Stacie’s usual spots. We chat about what it’s like to plan for vacations in a maker business, do a “speed dating style” Q/A with some of the fun questions viewers shared on Instagram. There’s lots of knitting and chat about mostly well-behaved puppies.
