Cherry Pick is going to be your one stop shop for everything vintage, combining your most loved online thrift and vintage sites into one place.In this episode Delaney not only gives us a bit of a sneak peek into what cherry pick will be, but she also shares some invaluable and really honest advice about being an entrepreneur from all the questions she had starting out, all the things she didn't know and had to figure out herself for the first time. Showcasing how much she's learned and sharing this knowledge for other people.If you listened to the episode with Brigitte and Ellie, the founders of Zero, they referenced Delaney as being somebody that they go to when they have founder questions and need advice.
