Earl FieldsGUEST
My first business adventure, 'cause I have a business partner as well, and we kind of started this together in an event promotion company called Vintage Market Days, and there we recruited vendors to do pop-up shopping events throughout North Carolina.

Earl FieldsGUEST
While doing that, we had the opportunity to meet hundreds and hundreds of amazing vendors, small business owners who all had their own unique stories, and one of them happened to be Donna Kesler.

Earl FieldsGUEST
Donna was the previous owner of Apples Gone Wild, who had taken and nurtured this beautiful little baby and made these amazing apples that we always look forward to seeing.

Earl FieldsGUEST
And so just almost by happenstance, you know, right place, right time, she happened to mention to us, "Hey guys, you know, I think I'm about ready to retire.

Earl FieldsGUEST
It's getting a little bit much, you know, being on the road all the time, and, you know, it's a lot of work.

Earl FieldsGUEST
But if you know anyone who might be interested in a business opportunity, you know, I'd love to talk to them." So that beauty of networking and just relationships and knowing people, but she happened to say it to the right two people.
