Smithy Sodine

I have people who help me with the sewing, but I do all the buying.

All the creative side is all me, and we also make the answer, the actual, what you were thinking about, the pillows, the stuffing.

We also make them there, and...

pack them and ship.

It was so simple to start this business in terms of financial investment.

I started it with $10,000 and I've never invested another penny in it.

That's basically how it happened.

I wanted to understand what...

And e-commerce entails, because again, I know how to sew, but someone my age or most people my age have a very hard time understanding the e-commerce concept and all the lingo that goes along with it.

Like, what is SEO?

What is...

You know, conversion rates, you know, all this stuff.

So I wanted to understand from your perspective what you understood.

And really, should I buy ads or not?

Like, what is this exactly?

And I was able to pick your brand, and I got a lot of information about it.

And also, I needed encouragement from...

from people who were maybe young, young entrepreneurs, people who were doing it.

And you were.

You were always creating new companies.
