This week we are joined by Shopify Merchant Jake Starr, Founder of Recycled Firefighter!
Jake was a full-time firefighter working over 72 hours a week, when he realised that even with overtime pay I wasn't making enough money to support my growing family. With 10 years of firefighter experience under his belt it was time to venture into something new, teaching himself how to sew, and grew his Shopify business into the extra income that he desperately needed.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
