    Ever wondered how a simple hobby can turn into a thriving business? In this episode of Second Cup Sessions, hosts Kati and Calley dive into the journey of Northwest Accent, Kati’s screen-printing business that started in a bathroom and grew into a beloved Pacific Northwest brand.

    Kati shares the ups and downs of entrepreneurship—how she built her brand from scratch, overcame challenges, and learned the importance of bringing people into her business sooner. From her love of the PNW to why quality and comfort matter in apparel, this episode is packed with real talk, laughter, and even a few big dog stories. Plus, we get the inside scoop on her top five desert island movies (spoiler: The Notebook made the cut).
