Open & Awkward: Shop Talk with Katie & Amanda
Season 2 Episode 17: BRING THE GONG
Eventually We Get to the Point
What’s this podcast about?
Amanda is making dunce caps for Cultivate to stop people from calling their businesses small. The second gong has also arrived. The two discuss their love for roadside attractions and then eventually get to the point. Or, at least, a point. A big part of today’s convo revolves around minimum orders and what local and independent businesses can do, and what producers are going to NEED to do in order to serve them. Shortly before the end Amanda drops a truth bomb and they say goodbye in the middle of Katie’s new existential crisis.
Highlights:
- Getting ready for CULTIVATE
- Meat sticks and outlet shopping
- Katie’s big big Illinois, Indiana, Michigan extravaganza.
- Amanda’s tree situation
- What do you want to be when you grow up?
