What would you do if your factory closed down overnight? How would you cope?
Megan from Second Scout is a guest on the podcast today and generously shares her journey and some of the ups and downs of having a product-based business.
Last year, Megan went through a major down and we discuss how she was able to come back from it better than ever.
If you ever start a product business, a good rule of thumb is to always be prepared. You never know when a stockist is going to pull away, a factory will shut down, or the market will shift.
