Oh my gosh. This was just the best, most real podcast! I fell in love with the both of you in your conversation together. Thank you! I would love to hear you ask the folks that you interview how they scaled up from home production to small manufacturing. Like what did people need in order to scale up for bigger prodution. I have not seen any podcast done about this and I’m at this point and I still completely lost. Thanks a million!
