In this episode of Passion to Profession, I sit down with brothers Curt and Aaron from BBC Emporium to talk about their journey from passionate collectors to business owners. We go deep into what it takes to run a successful business in today's hobby, how their mindset has shifted from collecting to serving, and what makes BBC Emporium feel like home to the local collector community.

We cover:

 – Why connection matters more than comps
 – Lessons from the early days of setting up shop
 – How they think about product selection, pricing, and supporting collectors
 – Why authenticity always wins in the long run

If you’ve ever thought about turning your passion for cards into something bigger—or if you’re a collector who values the experience of walking into a great shop—you’re going to connect with this one.
