Makers Are The Entrepreneurs of The Future Ho Ho Holiday activations ... Holiday markets are a thing. Years ago — DC didn’t have a single market dedicated to local makers and craft artisans. Now, our cup runneth over! Julie Greenstein and Debbie Sonnenreich are Co-Founders of one of the best pop-up markets in the region, URBNmarket. This upscale, incredibly well-curated handmade, and vintage, market is now at the Hotel Washington and at Mosaic District. Julie and Debbie are in with me to talk more about the growing trend and they brought with them some of their makers: -Crystal M. Ellis, B.Birdwatcher Spiritual Stones -Terra Saunders, Creator/Co-Founder, Della Terra Organics -Sebastian Shriver, Founder, Black Eyed Susan Spice Company All of whom I am so excited to learn more about. Let's get shopping! Quotes We started the URBN market in DC because there weren’t too many markets in the area. URBN market is like a market with amazing vendors and handmade and vintage items and sometimes we call it Etsy live - Julie I am really happy to say that a lot of people in D.C. now have a Bird watcher on their wrist. - Crystal I always encourage people to look at the labels and read the ingredients. If it's not all plants, don't trust it. - Terra Some of the best advice we got in our first festival is always trying to be the hot sauce seller at a non-hot sauce event - Sebastian Our Guests Terra Saunders https://www.shopdellaterra.com Julie Greenstein https://twitter.com/really444 https://urbnmarket.com Sebastian Shriver https://blackeyedspices.com Crystal Ellis https://www.instagram.com/bbirdwatcher https://www.bbirdwatcher.com Featuring Nycci Nellis https://www.instagram.com/nyccinellis https://www.thelistareyouonit.com Chapters 00:00 Show intro 01:45 Checking the Mayflower Club 06:56 Talking about the market 07:56 Gathering vendors 08:58 Expectations 10:40 About Crystal and her business 13:21 Thestones and the metaphysical 15:42 Taking care of the stones 17:44 About Terra and her business 20:46 Putting the products together 27:33 Sebastian and his spice business 30:59 Death by chocolate 33:50 Getting into the URBN market 37:11 The process of selecting vendors 40:34 Links Produced by Heartcast Media http://www.heartcastmedia.com
