A joy to create

Fabric’s co-founder Ryan Bartley had a list of interesting ideas for content creation related to e-commerce and Coffee and Commerce was one of them.

I took his idea and ran with it, starting to interview people on our team.

Usually you start creating a podcast with guests, but we have so many talented, experienced, and kind people on our team at Fabric. I figured, may as well interview our teammates!

In addition to extracting deep commerce insights from them that are invaluable for high growth retailers and brands, I have the opportunity to get to know people on Fabric’s team.

It’s a real joy for me as a content marketer, teammate, and person.
