This episode I chat with Kelly Jennings, owner of Bookish and Bakewell, a gift company who make great gifts for all the book lovers out there. I loved chatting with Kelly, there were lots of laughs and I had so much fun. Kelly started wholesaling her range of pins, stickers and more last year and we chatted about:

•	Building a business and the flexibility it gives you and the challenges it comes with.
•	How shop owners and brand owners are very similar, both are often one person businesses trying to do everything. 
•	How Kelly plans new product launches and how she wishes to get more organised with her product plan to grow her business.
•	Using social media to connect with potential stockists and much more.
