Behind Their Businesses: A Local Collective

49 minutes

In this episode, Jill Dudzinski sits down with her cofounder in A Local Collective, Katie Lakin, for a behind-the-scenes look at building community through small business. From new shop updates to holiday markets, Jill and Katie cover what it really takes to support local entrepreneurs, and the magic that happens when businesses lift each other up.

They chat about everything from the debut of a dirty soda shop and retro coffee camper to seasonal events like Woofstock, pumpkin patches, and the beloved Holiday Modern Market. Katie also shares what’s new with Little Mango, plus the exciting ways A Local Collective is partnering with MCC to bring more business education and resources to the community.

Whether you’re a maker, a shopper, or just curious about what it takes to run

collaborative local events, this episode is packed with fun stories, upcoming

pop-ups, and even a little giveaway excitement.
