One of Tiffany's most frequently asked questions is where she gets her design inspo from. She talks about her general approach of finding inspo, her experience in fashion school and how she puts a collection together. She shares her opinions on what trends and style actually are and has some strong feelings about fashion's role in society.

This is a casual episode where Tiffany and Christine discuss their thoughts after having a couple weeks off for Holidays. They chat about relaxing (and why it's so hard), New Years Resolutions, good habits they want to cultivate and bad habits they want to let go of. They also share their mindsets going back into work at Chunks and looking ahead into 2023. Tiffany and Christine ask themselves, can goals be reached successfully and easily?

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery...supposedly. How does Chunks deal with the dupes of our products? Is there anything we can do about it? How much does it matter? On this episode, we discuss our history with dupes as individuals (knockoffs, anyone?) and how they have affected our business. This one is a wild ride, you've been warned. 😤

Planning for an entire year can definitely be daunting, so we're talking about how we make our Master Plans at Chunks. Taking the big vision of our company and connecting it to each team member and their work, we talk about the value of planning, even when it doesn't pan out *quite* how you thought it would.

We love our manufacturers and having our products proudly "Made in China," but we wanted to delve into the origins of negative stereotypes about Chinese manufacturing. In this episode, we discuss the nuances that come into play when international trade policies, human rights, industrialization, and consumerism meet.

2021 was a great year for Chunks so, naturally, Tiffany decided to spend a light 100K on a few things to *hopefully* boost the business to the next level -- email marketing, a branding refresh and a business consultant. Did it work or was it a fail? Investing back in your business can be scary but sometimes necessary. Follow along as Tiffany recounts her investments, one by one.

We LOVE an All Hands Meeting because our small business has a big vision and it's imperative that all our team members are on board. Building a work culture that emphasizes collaboration and creativity relies on transparency at all levels and a safe place for us to dream, and our All Hands meetings are a core part of making this happen. Listen to all the topics we covered in our meeting and how we're manifesting big 2023 goals as a team.

Tiffany's got craft shows on the brain as she starts her 2022 Holiday Tour. Craft shows like Renegade and West Coast Craft are held every season to bring together local makers and artists to offer the most unique and fun shopping experience to thousands of people. Knowing how to get prepared for these shows can be a bit overwhelming so Tiffany, who's been vending at craft shows for 8 years, gives all her tips and tricks.

Benefits can be a black hole for a lot of leaders and business owners -- they're intentionally complicated to enroll in, it can seem like you need a degree just to understand what your insurance covers, and who even knows what their 401k is invested in?! Christine and Tiffany discuss how tf to make sure your employees know how to use their benefits, and how to center the values of your business in an incredibly complicated system.
