Today's interview is with my good friend and client Meg Sutton, the owner of a shop called Belle & Union located in San Antonio. Meg opened up her first brick and mortar shop in July of 2018 after running her shop strictly online for years.

We talk about what it's really like to open a brick and mortar store and how she even figured out how to open a retail shop, how and why she produces all of her products 100% in the U.S., imposter syndrome, why Meg stopped sharing her personal life on social media as well as why I stopped following the news. Yes, we get real deep in this episode and I'm excited for you to tune in!

As always, join in on the conversation with other Day in the Life listeners in our private Facebook group. Would love to have you over there so I can get to learn more about you!
