- Inviting and inspiring
Thoroughly enjoying this series. Not only is it great to have an insight into some of my favourite local businesses but hearing the owners talk with such passion about what they do is really inspiring for any budding entrepreneurs, makers and artists out there. Alexandra brings such warmth to the conversations and is able to really let her guests shine. A great listen.

This has been such a treat to find, it feels like having folk chatting at home and is such a celebration of the myriad of ways independents are crucial to our lives, especially in 2020. The Good Store episode is a fave as we absolutely love shopping with them even though they are not our nearest. Well worth the extra cycle to support their values which resonate with our values.
