Rand's an unsaveable addict of all things content, search, & social on the web, from his multiple blogs to Twitter, Google+, Facebook, LinkedIn, and a shared Instagram account.

Jake Starr, a 12 yr veteran firefighter, always enjoyed making his own gear by hand. He worked with leather and fashioned gear that included backpacking hammocks. After joining the Louisville fire department, Jake’s need to create handmade goods would not go extinguished.

February 09, 2016 Stitch People: Building a Tribe
"We don't know anything about marketing."
That's what one entrepreneurial couple with a successful niche store and growing community of brand evangelists told me.

This is one of our favorite episodes because it's jam-packed with great advice from regular folks.
Lizzy and Spencer both quit their day jobs work full time on Stitch People. With two books already out and several more in the design queue, Stitch People is becoming a common name in the contemporary cross-stitch market.
