Ep 27: Tara Chapman, Two Hives Honey

Tara Chapman spent a decade at the CIA working on issues surrounding Afghanistan and Pakistan — then quit to become a beekeeper in Austin, Texas. In this episode, she talks about the Groupon beekeeping class that changed her path, why she took a seasonal job with a commercial beekeeper before going all in, and how a simple idea to sell honey turned into Two Hives Honey, an agritourism business that now hosts thousands of visitors a year for hive tours and honey harvest parties.We get into how she found her first paying customers on Meetup before she owned any land or bees of her own, why she believes in making the best decision with the information in front of you rather than waiting for the perfect one, and what finally convinced her to stop doing everything herself.Two Hives Honey: https://www.twohiveshoney.com/Dana's Newsletter: nationofdoers.substack.com
