| 2/24/26 | Collaboration for Chocolate Makers Part 1: Why Do It, and General Considerations | Back in the first episode of 2026, I shares some things I think craft chocolate can learn from craft beer. One of those lessons (and, upon reflection, one of the only positive ones) was to collaborate expansively.

That's a shame, because collaboration offers amazing opportunity to growing your chocolate business. This is the first in a four... | 32m 14s | ||||||
