In this episode of The Localist, Carrie tells us about one of her very first businesses, the screenprinting company Sugartop Gumdrop. Carrie started Sugartop with her friend John Yam, and while they had a lot of passion and untapped talent, they didn’t have a lot of practical business experience. Join them as they navigate learning the Print Gocco, as they construct a store display, as they expand into t-shirts and more.
