Every so often, I’ll be posting an interview I feel is time-relevant. It is imperative to support local businesses during the pandemic, not only bookshops but all small businesses. Today my guest is Allison Hill, CEO American Booksellers Association. While her work is focused primarily on independent bookshops, she is knowledgeable in entrepreneurship, anti-trust issues, eCommerce, and demographics. We chat about all this and more and help you understand why it’s so important, whenever possible, to keep your purchases in your hometown.
Here’s a list of links, authors, and books mentioned in this podcast.
