In this episode of The Riley Black Project, we sit down with D’ondra of Work Boots & Glasses, a self-taught maker whose business journey started by kicking her husband's car out of the garage—literally. From building furniture to launching a fresh line of earrings and glassware, D’ondra shares how she turned her DIY spirit into a full-blown brand.

We talk chocolate stashes, market wins and fails, creative chaos, and how documenting your journey (even the messy parts) builds true connection and community. Whether you're in the maker space, thinking of starting a side hustle, or love a good "accidental business" story—this one’s for you.
