Episode 113: Put on your big girl pants and make it work

We love when our friend Maya Madsen, Vendor-101 grad and founder of Maya's Cookies, drops in to talk with us! Earlier this year, Maya had to pivot (like the rest of us) to stay afloat when COVID put a damper on farmers market operations. Then, in early June after her online store was included in a viral post highlighting Black-owned businesses, she had to hustle to fill thousands of unexpected orders. Now, not only is Maya the #1 Black-owned vegan cookie company in the US, she just opened a retail cookie shop! Despite what 2020 threw at her, Maya put on her big girl pants and made it work. Listen along to this week's episode to hear how Maya has juggled her farmers market operations, online sales and the opening of her new storefront.
