What It's About
An update from a maker who's turning heads!
Notes from Chris
Episode 1454
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. Last week we heard from a pediatrician who creates an educational tool to help kids with STEM learning. Today, in our latest feature, we’ll hear from Brittany Shillingford in Long Island, who had an idea to go all-in on making headbands. She ends up making thousands of them, and a couple of years ago was earning several thousand dollars a month—all from an item that we tend to think of as fairly utilitarian and low-priced. What’s happened since? Let’s hear directly from her. I’ll be back at the end to wrap us up. Listen to today's episode to hear Brittany's updates...MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:
