Welcome to the first episode of the QUIT YOUR DAY JOB podcast, where we wish to remind you that YOU ARE NOT YOUR DAY JOB! We want to encourage, motivate, and inspire you to DO MORE OF WHAT YOU LOVE! 

In future episodes we'll talk to some amazing creators, small businesses and side hustlers and hear their story. Plus, we're going to drop as MUCH knowledge as we can, from merchandise strategy, branding, designs.... OH, it's gonna be RAD. So, be sure you subscribe right now wherever you're listening or watching so you don't miss a beat. And we'll be recording this live on our Youtube so subscribe there as well if you want to drop live questions at us. 

Today the crew explores a few key questions:

1. What job did you really hate and want to quit, and bonus points if you quit it? 

2. Why the hell do you stay at our current day job? (Spreadshop)

3. What passion do you wish you could do full time? 

Then we drop a bunch of motivating knowledge just like we promised we would.

Fear of failure? Throw that out your brain!

It's time for you to get started.... let's see if we can give you the shove you need to QUIT YOUR DAY JOB!

🔥Back in the saddle again....  with a new direction for our little podcast. We were really good at dropping all kinds of knowledge about the merch game, but now we're gonna drop knowledge ALL OVER THE DANG PLACE!!! Spreadshop podcast is now the BYOB Podcast, brought to you by Spreadhop.com. I'll be dropping tips and strategies you can use to help you build your own personal brand or even your own mega brand. 

In my first swing at bat, I talk a little about my trip to eTail East 2019, where I was honored to speak on stage about "growth hacking" and building scrappy teams of experts. I could literally talk about this all day, and i did, for 4 whole days at eTail! It was a great time, full of big brands and fancy people. I recorded a piece of my talk to share with you all. 

I hope you can use these few tips within your own journey of building your brand. And hey, if you need merch, I know a guy who knows a guy... spreadshop.com 🔥

In this riveting final episode of the Spreadshop merch cast, the gang fills you in on what they've been up to, new and upcoming features of the Spreadshop and we bid a fond farewell to this version of the podcast... Until we meet again! 🐎🧡

The Spreadshop insiders are always excited to field your questions. Whether you reach out via socials, forums, or chats, the team is at the ready to continue the conversation on how you can get the most out of your online merchandising efforts.

In this week’s edition of the MerchCast podcast, the team was up to the task. 

The format: three hosts; three questions. Taking recent questions from the interwebs, the gang responds in this lighthearted episode. 

If you have questions on anything MERCH related, be sure to hit us up or send your audio questions in the Anchor App!

Many people overthink their merchandise before launching. Or they've never even tried selling merch before but they're worried about the variety of products that are available. In Today's Merch Cast the gang reminds you that it all starts with that FIRST SALE! 

Listen in for our tips, and then take this week's challenge to start with ONE SHIRT! And it's a great week to try as you can offer your shirt with this free shipping promo January 29 - February 2  with Code: SHIP4U19 at checkout.

"Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try Again. Fail again. Fail better." - Samuel Beckett 

In today's Spreadshop MerchCast the guys talk all about how to learn from your failures and then win big!

Maybe you've launched your custom merch and made no sales even after you had fans begging you for merch, or maybe it's just not how you envisioned it would be. Don't give up yet, listen to these key pointers and come back even stronger in the merch game. 

Of course, the great thing about Spreadshop is you don't risk anything as it's absolutely free to use. No monthly fees or any of that BS to deal with. And an added bonus is, you can actually launch as many shops in your account as you wish. See for yourself at spreadshop.com

In this  episode of the Spreadshop MerchCast podcast, the insiders demonstrate  brainstorming skills by pulling ideas out of a hat — or in this case the  next best thing: a Bossk Halloween mask. That’s right, a rubber replica  of that creepy, lizard-like, bounty hunter from space. 

The  podcast pals turn to their trusted friend Brooke to select ideas at  random that they then use to spitball ideas for merch designs, shop  styles, and promotional strategies. Just as Bossk hunts for elusive  Wookies across the galaxy far, far away, the team hunts for great ideas  to build a successful brand and sell merchandise online based on these random topics submitted to the group. 

In our first podcast of 2019 the gang gives a fun re-cap on why the heck Spreadshop is so awesome, what the heck you can do with it and more, and how it's basically for anyone and everyone. 

We need your help for next episode! To show that it truly can be used by anyone we're going to do a live brainstorm episode and will draw a topic randomly while we record! So if you want some free advice or design ideas from our experts just send your topic to [email protected] or comment or message us through any of our social media. 

If you're an Anchor App user, you can even send us an audio message and we can play your topic request on the show and shout out to your brand, product or social media handle.
