In this episode of Let’s talk shop, I chat to Niko Dafkos and Paul Firmin from Earl of East. Earl of East started as a market stall and has grown to be a lifestyle brand that includes 2 permanent shops that host regular workshops plus a pop-up shop. As well as being stocked by over 200 retailers worldwide.

Niko and Paul also just released their first book, The Scented Candle Workshop which is published by Kyle Books and you can win a signed copy by sharing where you are tuning in on Instagram and tagging me @small_business_collaborative.
