A Wormhole’s Wonder feat. Siew Ling and Charmaine: Starting a bookstore business with a friend, staying friends and helping non-readers fall in love with stories and books

It’s the eighth episode of The Hypodthetical, and to mark this extra cool milestone (fun fact: most podcasts stop after 7 episodes), I chat with Siew Ling and Charmaine, the 2 awesome ladies behind online bookstore, Wormhole! We had a little too much fun talking about the books and stories that make us feel all type of ways and discuss why operating a profitable physical bookstore might require space travel. We’ll also talk about the unique challenges of running a business with a friend and what keeps them going through the tough times! A chat that felt like a spontaneous dip in a cold lake on a Spring day, I hope you'll enjoy our conversation as much as we did recording it. Show Notes & Links: ⁠Wormhole What Happens Next?
