About this episode
Today on the podcast, we’re joined by Jasmine Brackett, a jill-of-many-trades who’s currently running Tindie, an online community marketplace that helps hardware creators get their projects into the hands of electronics enthusiasts worldwide.We’ll talk about how a love of crafting led her to costuming and how Burning Man introduced her to the world of electronics. And how her passion for positive change and a more collaborative future fuels all of her endeavors.
Plus we’ll talk all about Tindie. How a subreddit helped launch it, what it is and why it’s revolutionary. Plus a few of the cool things you can buy there, and some tips for those of you who dream of building and selling your own hardware– from supply to testing to shipping.
