Welcome back to Kent in Good Company! In today's episode, I sat down with Susan, the owner of Hazelmade. I got to record this interview in her shop in the Sanford building! It was so cool! She’s got labeled bins lining the walls with products and such; it was truly a sight to behold. The only thing better than seeing her intricate workspace was hearing her intricate story of going from graphic designer to entrepreneur. She had so many helpful tips and nuggets of information for anyone that’s an aspiring entrepreneur or someone who wants to turn a hobby into a side hustle or even a career. I hope you enjoy it!
