The new episode is out today! 🎙️
I’m chatting with three amazing guests — Mary Liz Curtin from Leon & Lulu, Michael Schultz from Cursive New York, and Andrew Gawdun from curious… in Hermosa Beach.
We talk about what it’s really like to run an independent retail store today — the wins, the challenges, and everything in between.
What’s inside:
💰 Tariffs, Shipping and Survival — Hidden costs, customs chaos, and how small retailers stay afloat.
🎄 Holiday Merchandising and Magic — How they plan, set up, and connect customers to their seasonal stories.
🛍️ Future of Independent Retail — The real talk about pricing, vendors, and why staying authentic still matters in 2025.
It’s a fun and honest chat that every retailer will relate to. Tune in today!
