Why Not Whatnot?
Hi, I’m Karri Kennedy, and this is Why Not Whatnot.
This podcast is about buying and selling on the Whatnot app, and what it’s really like to build a business there.
I share practical, no-nonsense advice from my own experience, and I bring on other sellers to talk about their journeys and how they’ve achieved their success.
If you want clear insight and informed perspective on Whatnot, this is the show for you.
Thanks for listening, and welcome to Why Not Whatnot.
