In this episode, I’m bringing you behind the scenes into something really special—a bonus Q&A call that I hosted right after The Bread Winner Summit. The energy was so good and the questions were so thoughtful that I ended up scheduling an extra session just to keep the conversation going. Today, I’m sharing a few of those questions and my real-time answers, covering everything from bookkeeping and batch baking to building a loyal local audience and scaling your sourdough menu without burning out.

If you’ve ever wondered when to hire a bookkeeper, how to simplify your offerings, what to bring to your first farmers market, or how to market in your own neighborhood without sounding salesy—this one’s for you. These are the questions so many of us have asked, and this Q&A format gives you actionable ideas and honest insight into the daily realities of running a microbakery. Pull up a chair, hit play, and let’s dig in together.
