Scaling My Microbakery / The Startup Costs

I think the beauty of running a microbakery is that it will look different for everyone. Maybe you're like me and you start with two dutch ovens baking out of your home oven and just sell to friends and family as a side hustle. If I hadn't been laid off, I truly don't think I would have pursued this full time. There is so much risk involved, volatility, and investments that must be made to grow. In this video, I highlight all of my major investments I made into my business when this was just my side hustle in 2024 and the major investments I made in 2025 when this became my full time job. I also discuss whether those investments were wise, if I would do it again, or if I would have invested in some things sooner.
