Welcome to Yap & Hustle, the no-fluff podcast where I spill the real tea on what it’s actually like to be a small business owner. I’ve spent the last 10 years doing it all: from launching an exclusive online boutique before pop-ups were even a thing, to printing graphic tees for over 7,000 boutiques nationwide, to now running a niche indie bookstore-meets-wine-bar in Panama City, FL. This is your behind-the-scenes pass to the wins, fails, wild stories, and unfiltered lessons that come with building multiple businesses from the ground up. Pull up a chair, sit down and lets get into ittttt!

We’ve all heard the saying “you have to do everything in business”, but the truth is, doing everything isn’t sustainable, and it definitely isn’t success.
