Episode 1600 - Bobbi Althoff

Yes, and I was like... People are going to need masks. I'm going to make them. So I was like, I'm going to start a mask making company. So I started selling on Etsy masks. I learned how to make them and would go to Target and buy bed sheets.

No, I learned for this. And I got pretty good. My mom, the sewing machine she got me, would embroider pretty shitty embroidery, but it was there. So I would embroider... People's names. I sold them for like $22. I made $3,000 on masks, though. That's pretty good. It was so good. But I was going to turn that into something. An empire? But I was always doing little things.
