In this episode, Bora sits down with Taylor Johnson, founder of Hazel and Olive, who unknowingly pioneered social commerce in 2012 when Facebook was just a social network with no shopping features.

- How she maintained customer loyalty through the evolution of social platforms
- Practical insights into scaling operations from a one-woman show to a sophisticated daily launch machine
