Welcome to Season 1 of the Indie Business Podcast! In this fourth episode, I introduce you to Stacia Guzzo of The Handcrafted Honey Bee and Tehachabee Farm in Tehachapi, California. Stacia and I discuss how she manages her two Maker businesses as a wife and the mother of two young children, and how she became a top finalist in the 2014 March Stewart American Made Awards contest.
You'll also get some great ideas to help you incorporate video into your business. Now, you know I am always on you to do that, because you've got to cut through the noise to reach and connect with your fans and friends! If you are one of those people who is fearful or nervous about doing your own videos, you will love Stacia's low pressure, no nonsense approach.
