Episode 7—Traveling
Join me as I take a road trip across Washington state, then fly from Seattle to Tennessee to attend the Self-Reliance Festival, where I demo'ed spinning yarn for attendees. Along the way, we'll visit some Walmart remnant racks, talk about the ongoing dysfunction at Joann Fabrics, and hear how Macy's actually listened to their customers as they developed and launched an exciting new house brand.
