I can’t get enough of this podcast! As the owner of two magical, eclectic shops, I love creating store displays. And Michelle shares so much inspiration and information. I love this podcast so much! Thank you, Michelle
Michelle really knows retail and her respect and caring for retailers really shines through!
No fluff and just realness. Thank you Michelle for these honest conversations!
Getting the opportunity to be interviewed by Michelle for the podcast was an honor. I love being around other retailers/ wholesalers who are passionate about what we do, and having her share that with others is amazing! When we all work to support each other everyone wins!
Came for my friend Kerrie fiztgeralds episodes and stayed for more! I’m not a product founder, but I am a PR coach for product founders, so I love finding resources to recommend them! Michelle has curated such amazing case studies in every niche imaginable! Hearing how so many people got their start in biz is always interesting, so even if you’re not a biz owner this will be a very fun and inspiring listen for you!
