#1511 - Failure Friday: A Global Customs Snafu During Childbirth

Synopsis

The debut of a new 'Failure Friday' segment tells the story of a Canadian tea merchant whose shipment got held up at the U.S. border while she was giving birth to her first child. It is a cautionary tale about customs, timing and contingency planning when importing physical goods across the border. There is no actionable business model, only a lesson.
