Listeners Questions
On this episode:

• Why do people only want to buy mugs?! @gooseandswanpottery
• I’ve recently started a home studio, I’d love to know how to maintain a budget and file those taxes! How do you keep track? Pile of receipts? Excel sheet? What counts as a write-off? I realize this might be a question for a CPA but any insight would be helpful. @palermoceramics
