The DIY Small Business podcast is all about community, radical creativity and sustainability for small business owners and freelancers.
Hi, I’m Yarrow.
For the past six years I’ve helped thousands of small business owners start and build beautiful small businesses that are meaningful and fun to work in. The DIY Small Business podcast is a free resource that I hope will help you on your journey too. I’m sharing a mix of solo episodes with reflections and how to guides as well as deep dive interviews with entrepreneurs who found exciting ways to do things differently.
