I invited over the core brain-trust from the retreat: Lisa Frank, owner of Rettlers, Kara Larson CEO & Editor-in-chief of Make Minnesota, and Lauren Callis Erickson Co-Founder and Executive Director of The Curiosity Studio; and owner of The Upcycled Closet. Together we chatted about their thoughts post retreat: what surprised them, what inspired them, and what they are taking away.  We also dove into a discussion around the consistent themes we observed bubbling to the surface thanks to stories shared by the participants and the work they all did throughout the weekend at the Makers Retreat.
