What It's About
How two sisters made bread sharing their families heritage and recipes.
Notes from Chris
Episode 1997
Today’s episode is part of a new feature we’re doing in 2022 called ‘Your First $1,000.’ As you might surmise from the title, this is all about how someone made their first $1,000. How did they get to that point? Not their first $100,000—that’s cool, but it would probably be a long story. One thing I’ve learned is that once you begin to earn real money, the steps required to go to the next level—whether it’s $1,000 to $2,000, or even to $5,000 or $10,000 are often easier than that first real paycheck. With that in mind, today’s feature comes from Casey White in Massachusetts. This is a tag-team project, together with her sister. Their background is Polish, and they’d noticed that there was no where in the Boston area to get decent pierogi. We first featured them back on Episode #1137: Polish-American Sisters Cook Up Pierogi Profits. But what about their first $1,000—how did they make that happen, what did it feel like, and what did they learn? Listen to today's episode to learn more...MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:
