She has now told over 50,000 items and through this, has learned a lot about the industry. Many people have asked her how she learned the industry (just trial and error!), so she decided to make a 25+ page PDF guide "How To Be A Reseller." In this episode, we dive into some of what's included in that guide so listeners can hear some BTS into this industry, gain some thrift tips for themselves and understand the importance of circular fashion.
Allison first started off reselling vintage Nebraska husker apparel, then she opened New Wave in 2020 (which sold secondhand, vintage and handmade goods) and then she opened 1404 Collective in 2023 (which only sells second hand).
We discuss the challenges and rewards of starting a small business, the importance of doing market research, and the value of networking within the reselling community. We emphasize the importance of community, collaboration, and sustainability in the fashion industry, while providing practical advice for aspiring resellers, including sourcing, pricing strategies, and overcoming challenges.

Vulnerability and embracing both feminine and masculine energy is essential for personal growth and healthy relationships.Compassion and understanding are key components of a spiritual practice and can enhance communication with others.Balancing feminine and masculine energy allows for a more harmonious and fulfilling life.Men should be encouraged to be more receptive and sensitive, and women should hold space for them to express vulnerability.When he's not teaching or leading sessions, you can find Kun playing various instruments, surfing the waves, practicing Thai Chi, or riding his motorcycle, fully embracing the art of living well.

I’m getting married soon and I can’t decide between if I want to splurge or save on a weddingI accepted my dream job as a nurse… and I think I’m getting hazed. My parents are pretty wealthy and I have some inheritance money from my grandparents. I just feel so guilty that I have such a financially secure future when other people can't even afford to put food on the table.My boyfriend has a drinking problem and I don’t know how to move forward. Am I being too naggy? He is an absolute dream aside from this, everything I've wanted in a man and the one I want to marry, so it feels hard to just walk away and give up.SPONSORS + DISCOUNTS:
