About Dose of Dee Podcast

From the publisher's feed

My name is Dee Silkie and I am the creator of The Dose of Dee Podcast. I started my own fashion line four years ago. I found that one of my biggest frustrations as a designer was an abundance of un-answered questions that I needed answered in order to propel my creative business further. These questions ranged from "what does it actually mean to be a 'Canadian made' brand? Is owning an online shop really the future like everyone says it is? Or is a brick and mortar store really the way to go? How do I get money (other than sales) to fund my business, and what comes first, figuring out my aesthetic or my target market?"
