I'm so excited to introduce you to Alyssa Thomas. She is the owner and founder of Penguin and Fish. She has a fascinating story about how she took a hobby and her love for crafts and turned it into a business that sells to retailers, big and small as well as online.

How she was able to fill her orders.
How she markets her business now that she isn't doing trade shows anymore.
How she decided to go all-in with one product.
Why she decided to try to get a big-box retailer to buy her products.
How she was able to get into her first big-box retailer store without the help of sales reps.
