What It's About
An update from a plush side hustle that makes military-themed teddy bears to help kids sleep.
Notes from Chris
Episode 1167
Welcome to Throwback Thursday / “Where are they now?” where we take an in-depth look at someone who’s story has evolved considerably since we first featured them. So far in these features we’ve had a Denver woman who leads food tours for up to 700 people a month (among others), and last week a designer in Australia who sketches and sells illustrations of houses. This is now her full-time hustle. Today, in our latest feature, we’ll hear from the founder of ZZZ Bears:, which makes teddy bears for military families to help kids sleep at night. What’s happened since, what is his greatest current challenge, and what is his advice to those who’d like to do something similar? Let’s hear directly from Justin. I’ll be back at the end to wrap us up. Listen to today's episode to hear Justin's updates...MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:
