I was first introduced to Susan Peterson when I bought a pair of baby moccasins from her Etsy shop years ago – but then, just a few weeks ago, I was watching reruns of Shark Tank with my son when I saw Susan come on the screen to pitch Freshly Picked!

I was amazed to see that the mom I bought those shoes from had grown her Etsy shop into a multi-million dollar brand, helping people all over the world style their babies in a cuter way, and I just had to bring her on the show and talk about that journey!
