On this episode of Shirt Support, we connected with Lee Stuart and tackled heavy topics of depression, anxiety, and mental health. Further topics of discussion include: Dilly contemplating embroidery, panic attacks, anxiety disorders, trying different treatment options, diet & exercise, addressing burnout, writing vs typing, accountability, and how the universe is looking out for us.
Back again on the pod we’ve got Max from Family Industries. We just got back from an event he was working his magic at, and we had to have him on again. After all, the industry has changed a lot in the last few years, especially in the live events market. Topics of discussion include: Airplane food, managing short weeks, jet lag, live activations, experiential marketing, how to keep your event running smoothly, customer involvement, pitching your services, bad events, the best custom promo item, and truffles.
Catching back up with Zach as he and his crew are developing a way to bring fun and competition into the industry, and they're calling it the Print Masters Throwdown. Topics of discussion include: Creed, Oasis, waterbed camp, finding your role in the industry, curveball and virtual challenges, burnout getting in the way of growth, viewer voting, the productivity and time management that comes with working from home, and the storytelling behind content.
After a brief hiatus on the high seas, Dilly has returned with tales from his time away and newly reinforced fears for the future of humanity. As a good screen printing podcast does, we do eventually talk shop, this time with Alex Haug of Twin City Tees. A lifer by trade, our discussion naturally begs the question: Was it all worth it? Topics of discussion include: Prepping, interfering with production, personal sacrifices for business gains, covering customer mistakes, customer phone calls, having a sense of accomplishment, and shirt forums.
After a 4+ year recording streak, Dilly missed his first episode of Shirt Show. But who better to fill his shoes than 40 year old celebrity guest host Nick Wood? We put together a hot episode with Mr. JG of JG Graphics, a full time firefighter and shirt head. Starting from the ground up with his brother and a self made press, Jared has successfully scaled over the last few years and has kept a level head throughout the process. After all, shirt happens, but it isn't life or death like the firefighting biz. Topics of discussion include: sketchy flash dryers, managing growth with SOPs, empowering your team, hiring attitude over talent, hard conversations, leadership perspectives, giving back to the industry, and delicious cantaloupe balls.
What is an exit strategy, when do we need one, and do we even need one at all? We put our heads together with Bruce & Steven, and our mind amalgamation provided a rich conversation filled with plenty of questions, a few answers, and just an overall good time. A good time that would never touch on anything too personal, or even think about hitting a little too close to home for any of us, in any possible way... Topics of discussion include: Choice produce, popped screens, S&S acquiring Broder, DTF/DTG fulfillment, defining exit plans, choosing whether or not your business makes a profit, life outside of your business, reverse engineering an exit plan, merging shops, succession, divesting, therapy, and burning your business down.

Free Cheese Prints has come a long way from their humble punk roots, but their business aspirations remain grounded, and complimentary to the lifestyle Tate & Reesa want to lead. A rare quality among entrepreneurs, Tate & Reesa's ability to prioritize a healthy work/life balance over blindly scaling their business provided a very refreshing perspective. Topics of discussion include: Stresses, image capture beta testing, spelunking, vegan and government cheeses, doubling down on printing through sobriety, cautious growth, time management, ideal customers, Point Break, traveling, business credit cards, and nonstick pans.

Jeremy Panda is the mad scientist behind Peace & Cotton. Sure they have multiple locations and offer many services, but they are constantly pushing their boundaries and keeping things fun and interesting with their live print activations.

Topics of discussion include: Bad ham, facebook’s impending comeback, leaving the band life for screen printing, Niagara Falls, raves, Camping, trying new things, leaning into your branding, making lines not boring, and quesadillas.
