  • Jenni from FuzzyAndBirch

    We've got a fantastically long episode for you today. We chat with Jenni from FuzzyAndBirch, FuzzyWeddings and TattoosByFuzzy. Jenni talks about her batch strategy using Marmalead, seasonality, Brexit, systems she uses to stay on track, massive flooding, her method for finding shop helpers, the weather, and her new Etsy course called "The Path to 1k." We kind of fell into this episode during our pre-interview chat so you'll get a bit of a behind the scenes peek before we realize we should just keep the whole recording. Enjoy!
