How I Built My Small Business

Andy Hunter is the founder CEO of bookshop.Org
In todday's episode, he talks about his innovative solution to save indie bookstore.

Quoting the New York Times, “The rapid rise of Bookshop.org during the shutdown has been hailed as a boon for independent stores.” B-Labs announced the company as one of the “best for the world,” and in the top 5% of all B-Corps.

The business model is brilliant on so many levels, and I can’t wait for you to hear what he has to share.
