Podcast Episode 64: Collaboration Above Competition with Megan Green
Today on the Dear Handmade Life podcast we’re talking about collaboration, community and competition with Megan Green of Craftin’ Outlaws, Midwest Craft Con (you can grab your ticket here) and Stinky Bomb Soap and drinking Stone Brewing’s Mocha IPA. We discuss our positive and negative experiences reaching out to competitors to collaborate, getting through the fear pitching to competitors as well as the notion that building community with your competition will be detrimental to your business, how to start off on the right foot when you approach competitors, how to know if you’re sharing too much, dealing with copycats, the importance of being knowledgable on what’s happening in your industry and more.
