004 - Creating Candles with Kendra of The Fabled Flame
Show Notes Chapter Markers

Welcome back to Roll Play Grow, the podcast for tabletop entrepreneurs, creators, and fans. I am Courtney Stover of Lightheart Adventures, and in this podcast, we talk to the creators behind the brands in the tabletop role play gaming space about who they are and how they are turning their passion for gaming into a career. 

Today’s guest is Kendra, the owner and creator of The Fabled Flame, which is an Etsy store where she creates and sells d20 shaped candles. They are GORGEOUS, with really unique scents and they could even have a d20 hidden inside. We talk about all sorts of fun things like the logistics of creating candles in batches, fulfillment techniques, marketing and organizational struggles, and a whole lot more.

In the intro, I mentioned our new DM's Guild publication. You can find that here!
