In this episode of The Riley Black Project, we hit the road to Atlanta for the Georgia Laser & UV Printing Business Meetup with Sumita & Anuj

We dive into:
✨ Why in-person events hit different compared to online groups and tutorials
✨ The power of simple tools like Keychain Thingies—and why seeing them live makes it click
✨ Lessons on outsourcing, staying organized, and investing in the right tools (like accounting & Shopify)
✨ How makers are diversifying—from laser engraving and jigs to apparel, acrylic, and even video content
✨ Real talk on balancing family, ADHD distractions, and scaling a creative business without burning out

From hilarious stories to practical advice, this episode captures what makes the maker community so special: support, inspiration, and the push to keep creating.

👉 If you’ve ever wanted to connect with other makers, grow your laser business, or just laugh at the behind-the-scenes chaos, this one’s for you.
