Jor & Fab Season 1 Episode 37

Conversations with Olivia 

Ever turned a hobby into a thriving business? Olivia joins us to share her inspiring journey of launching her own Etsy shop, a haven for book lovers. From the thrill of receiving her first orders to the hilarity of dealing with spam messages, Olivia opens up about the challenges and triumphs of balancing a bustling startup with grad school and a new job. Listen as we explore the creative process behind her unique stickers, postcards, and bookmarks, and get a sneak peek into her plans for exciting collaborations and product expansions.

Our bookish chat doesn't stop at business! We delve into the realm of literature, swapping stories about favorite authors like Catherine Cowles and A.R. Jackson, and discussing the emotional rollercoaster of novels like "Magnolia Parks." We navigate through the nuances of romantic subgenres, debating the charm of tropes like "brother's best friend" and "forbidden romance," all while sharing snippets of personal literary journeys. 

This episode celebrates the joy of shared passions and the magical connections formed in the world of books. Come join Olivia and I discuss everything bookish!
