Today's guest is Aneta Winiarski, she operates from Toronto, Canada. Aneta owns and runs a kitchenware brand called Stylized Settings, which is sold exclusively on Amazon.

A growing business like hers can eat up a lot of time. As a mom to two boys, she's looking at ways to have more control over that growth by diversifying away from Amazon.
