EP 163.  What if the most overlooked opportunity in family marketing is sitting at the dinner table? In this episode, I talk with Shannon Amspacher, founder of startup Potluck, a new community-based meal swap app that helps families batch cook and share meals with people they already know and trust, like other parents from school, daycare, faith groups, or local communities.
