Motivating, inspiring and informative
I love Mel’s approach to furniture flipping and her unfiltered approach! She keeps it real and has tons of helpful tips for anyone trying to redo their furniture or start a small business or both! I looked for a long time for a podcast like this as a newbie at flipping furniture and am so thankful I found this one! Thanks Mel! Keep crushing it!!
Encouraging!
Mel is entertaining, real, and informative. I’ve binged all episodes!
Very Informative
Love listening every day to this podcast on my “journey” to create my own business doing furniture flipping. It’s really helped me get my wheels rolling and thinking of the business in all aspects. Highly recommended.
