Pancake Town Podcast

This week, Michelle and Emily attend the Renegade Craft Fair in Chicago and make it all the way through in record time: 4 hours!  After shopping, talking to vendors, and making notes, they sit down at Picante Taqueria for lunch.  They discuss just a few of their favorite vendors, what made certain booths more successful than others (spoiler alert: it’s signage and color), and - most importantly - share what purchases they made at the show!

This week, Michelle and Emily record the 50th Episode of Pancake Town the Podcast!  They talk about the idea of Community over Competition, and each shout out a few of their favorite designers and business owners.

In this week's episode, Michelle and Emily have breakfast at Alps Pancake House (where Pancake Town's name came from)!  They talk about rejection, customer disappointment, taking things too personally in business...  and not taking things personally enough.
