## Resource

CFO Karen Gordon is back for a Classics episode + we're taking The Cafe at the Edge of the Woods entirely seriously as a business proposition. Magical or not - sadly, it does not hold up. We discuss the many issues of which not having a business plan is only the start - what happens when your only customer pays in gold? And that's before we get into the hygiene issues of magical creatures. This is a Classics episode, where we treat a book that is absolutely not a business book as though it were.
