A sweet, apocalyptic update from a creator of TV-themed treats.
Notes from Chris
Episode 1860
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 the founder of Not Your Mother’s Resumé, who doubled her business since we first featured her, as well as the co-founder of Australia’s leading dental blog, turning brushheads across the country. Today, in our latest feature, we’ll hear from Carrie Buchanan, founder of the Bombshell Baking Company. Carrie is a full-time social worker who also earns up to $4,000 a weekend traveling to conventions selling her Walking Dead themed sugar cookies, among other concoctions. What’s happened since we first featured her more than a thousand days ago? Let’s hear more from her. I’ll be back at the end to wrap us up.
