What happens when a 3D artist from Lucasfilm sells out at Comic-Con and realizes he might have a business?

In this episode, Jackie Huang, founder of Woolbuddy, shares how a handmade toy for his daughter grew into an international needle felting brand sold in museums and online worldwide. We talk about failing faster, breaking the “invisible wall” between buying and doing, scaling from garage production to outsourced fulfillment, and why teaching your craft does not create competition. Jackie’s story is a masterclass in turning creativity into community, product into experience, and failure into fuel. If you are a creative entrepreneur trying to grow beyond trading time for money, this conversation will open your mind.
