114: The Power of Wholesale with Sarah of Simply Curated

Today’s episode is an interview with an amazing, super inspiring small business owner: Sarah Hart of Simply Curated. Simply Curated is a design-centric candle company. In this episode, Sarah really gives us a behind the scenes look into her business, and specifically how she approaches wholesale.

Sarah’s story starts in her parent’s basement in Queens, New York, in 2012, and she has gone through some incredible changes, evolutions and moves since then. She shares that story with us in this episode, which I think you’re going to love.
