372 | Opening a Retail Store in the Portland International Airport with Victoria Venturi, Paper Epiphanies [Part 2]

Hey, friends. I'm back with part two of my interview with Victoria Venturi from Paper Epiphanies. If you have yet to listen to part one, that was episode 371. In part one, Victoria shared about her business growth, including what it was like shifting from a business model that was 90% wholesale to a business driven by 90% retail today. Now, she's finding a middle ground between the two.

Today, we're continuing our conversation, and Victoria is sharing about the process of opening her store in the Portland International Airport.
