In this episode of Designers, Plants & Coffee, we unpack what it really means to collaborate in today’s handmade business world. It’s not just about tagging each other on IG or saying “let’s collab!” in a DM—it’s about alignment, clear agreements, and mutual benefit.

We talk about:

  • How we built our podcast from the ground up—starting with friendship
  • Why contracts protect both your business and your relationships
  • The difference between a true collaboration and a one-sided ask
  • What to say (and NOT say) when pitching a collab
  • Red flags and must-haves before signing on

Whether you're a creative looking to grow, an educator partnering with others, or a designer ready to scale, this episode is your behind-the-scenes pass to doing it right.
