Show Notes

When Leslie Bateman left New York City, she was shocked to discover how hard it was to find shoe repair in her new town. A new business, Coblrshop, was born when she met business operations maven Emily Watts, and together they set out to modernize how cobblers and customers connect. Join us for a candid chat about the challenges and joys of building the leather repair start-up that, less than two years into operations, impressed our Reusies Judges enough to land the win for Most Innovative Company in Fashion & Apparel at The Reusies 2024.
