If you’ve ever wondered whether your oddly specific obsession could become a real product, this one’s for you. Margaret C Beeler took two things she loves – books and cocktails – and turned them into Tropetails: the world’s first cocktail and mocktail recipe book inspired by literary tropes, now a full product line after a successful crowdfunding run.
Today we unpack how she did it, what worked, what didn’t, and what you can steal for your own business. Thank you for joining us.
