Welcome to Episode 1 of Secondhand Sessions. This marks the beginning of a new podcasting adventure to capture voices and perspectives throughout the Thrift Industry! Join host BJ Breish as they reconnect with an old friend and fellow thrift industry veteran, Josh. Their candid conversation in the broom closet of a future thrift store covers a range of topics, from store real estate and cost-saving strategies to product mix, the critical role of merchandising, and the challenges facing thrift stores today. Get an inside look at Josh's growing thrift store operation (currently two locations, soon to be three) and learn about the inspiring mission of the organization they support, which works to reach and serve survivors of human trafficking. And, as BJ bravely faces the microphone for the first time, listeners can join in the shared experience of navigating the uncharted territory of podcasting.
