Welcome to The Business Method Podcast listeners and today we introduce our next guest Tracy Matthews. Tracy runs a full-on location independent jewelry business and 800 person jewelry community called Flourish and Thrive Academy. After years in the jewelry business, Tracy then decided she wanted to help other entrepreneurs in the industry and create a place where jewelry entrepreneurs can learn and grow their businesses together.
