Hey friends! In this episode of The Bread Winner Podcast, I share some of the lessons I've learned from the best and worst investments I’ve made while building my bakery business. From the tools that have become indispensable to the ones that were total flops, this candid conversation is packed with practical tips to help you skip some of the missteps I made.
I share how starting with the cheapest options sometimes cost me more in the long run (hello, sticking bread liners and terrible oven gloves!). But it’s not all regret—this episode also highlights the equipment that’s been worth every penny, like my trusty Cambro containers and double oven setup. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to upgrade your toolkit, this episode is a must-listen for anyone trying to grow a small business smartly and sustainably.
