Let's Talk Shop with Megan Jones from Curated Makers

In this episode, I talk shop with Megan Jones, founder of Curated Makers. Curated Makers organise pop-ups in national retailers to champion Northern makers on the high street. Bringing small businesses and maker that are local to the city into high street stores and disrupting how we normally shop.

Megan is so passionate about helping all the talented small business owners out there and we spoke all about:

- How Curated Makers started

- The challenges of starting Curated Makers and dealing with large retailers in a new way

- How Megan curates each pop-up and how to apply to take part

- The importance of being ready for retail

- Your Instagram feed is your shop window

- Creatival and what that is and how Megan got involved
