Notes from Chris
Episode 1601
Welcome to Throwback Thursday / “Where are they now?” where we take an in-depth look at someone who’s story has evolved considerably since we first featured them. Recently, we’ve featured handkerchiefs, energy gum, candles, the Sweet Afternoon Bakeshop in Toronto, Canada, and more. Last week, we heard from the co-founder of Bean Goods, which sells dachshund-themed apparel for dogs and humans. Today, in our latest feature, we’ll hear from Hannah Fastov in New York City, the founder of Go Dash Dot, which sells handbags and other accessories for active women (“Tote-ally Functional Bags for Women on the Go”). What’s happened since? Let’s hear directly from Hannah, and notice how she speaks about her customers—there’s at least one lesson here! Listen to today's episode to hear Hannah's updates...MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:
