Please find some links and notes from the 2 Regular Guys Podcast. We interviewed Justin Lawrence from Oklahoma Shirt Company. They have some unique marketing approaches, and always good to hear from active decorators in the marketplace. Justin and his company are also involved in some unique fundraising program supporting good causes, so we will get the scoop on that as well. Learn from someone who has built their business from the ground up with lots of passion and culture.

“I think making the world a better place starts at home, and as a husband and a dad, my number one priority is my family,” “When I’m not loving my kids, I’m spending my time with my second family, the family we’ve built at Oklahoma Shirt Company, united in our love of this great state and building lasting relationships with our fellow Oklahomans and standing alongside other local businesses. We take so much pride in our community, which has given us so much, and we love giving back as much as we can to the people of Oklahoma.”

Our company began humbly enough as a way for me to support my family while I was in medical school.
