So real. So funny. So resourceful.

Every small business owner should listen to this!! Also can’t wait for Christine’s commentary on LIB S4. 🤣

Love from one small biz to another~

First off, I am obsessed with the Chunks brand and own too many clips, claws, and accessories to count. I love that they are WOC owned, women-operated, and are mindful of their environmental impact. As a WOC small business owner, I resonate with their values and love hearing all that they have to share!

ElizabethSandman ,

i listen to a lot of podcasts and i try to vary what i listen to- i also love Chunks and want to support them and know what they are doing and what is going on behind the brand. this podcast is a great way to find out more about what is going on! keep up the good work!
