In this episode, Jessica sits down with Carmen and Steven Lee, the creators of Sunset Commons, a brand-new arts and crafts café in San Francisco’s Inner Sunset. The two high school sweethearts turned small business owners talk about what it takes to launch a small business post-pandemic, the importance of third spaces, and why crocheting in public might just save your soul.
The episode was recorded earlier this summer, but we’re launching it now because Sunset Commons officially opened its doors on August 2nd!
You’ll also hear about their longtime peer learning group SPREAD (@spread_sf), their favorite DIY kits, and their vision for a Sunset where creativity, community, and curiosity collide.
