Ever wondered what it’s really like to run a small business? Join me as I walk through the lively flea market in New Haven, chatting with vendors who are juggling passion, hustle, and a whole lot of creativity. It’s less about business plans and more about real people chasing dreams—sometimes with a side of laughter, surprises, and the occasional deep advice. 

These are the bakers, crafters, and creators who turn their passions into something real, often with more grit and creativity than you’d expect. Each conversation is part business talk, part storytelling, and part just hanging out with people who love what they do. You’ll hear about the challenges they’ve faced, the little wins that keep them going, and the funny, unexpected moments that come with running a business. It’s a mix of lessons, laughs, and local flavour that celebrates the human side of entrepreneurship.
