The Gift-Cast

Small Business Collaborative with Therese Oertenblad

Gift of the Year Season 1 Episode 32

In this episode we're joined by the truly wonderful Therese Oertenblad, owner of the Small Business Collaborative and super active member of our wonderful community. Therese originally worked on the retail side with businesses like NPW, Sweet William and Paperstyle Books before deciding to go it alone as a business consultant, coach and mentor. As a true champion  of small businesses Therese has a fascinating take on various parts of our industry, including, of course, the current hot topic - trade shows!
