Damn Good Marketing

What I Learned About Business From Watching My Parents Built It From Nothing


Listen Later

In this special episode of the Damn Good Marketing Podcast, Meet the powerhouse duo behind one of Louisiana’s most inspiring family-run businesses — John and Connie, founders of Connie’s Impressions/CI Sports. In this unforgettable episode, host Shelby Clement brings you the real, raw story of how her parents turned a small-town dream into a thriving legacy that’s been going strong for 33 years (and counting).

This is not just a story about business.

It’s about grit, leap-of-faith entrepreneurship, family legacy, and building something from the ground up — with no degree, no blueprint, and no backup plan... just relentless determination. 👊🏼

✨ You'll hear how:

A dairy farmer and a beautician turned a small-town t-shirt shop into a full-service promotional empire. They took wild customer requests and figured out how to say "YES" even when they didn’t have a clue how to do it. They scaled from their garage and storefront to serving clients nationwide.

Whether you're a new entrepreneur, small business owner, or someone looking to feel deeply inspired — this episode will leave you with chills and motivation to just figure it out and get it done.
