Ram Sareen talks to long-time friend Joe Ganete. When he took over his father's grading business as a young adult, he never dreamed he would spend 20 years as an expert apparel grader. He was an early adopter of computerized grading and marking. In 1990 he developed a 10-lesson video course to teach his team and the industry the proper methods and techniques of apparel grading.

Ganete left the apparel industry to pursue his lifelong dream of being a police officer, and took the same spirit of excellence with him. Always tech forward, he now runs a company that tracks ammunition in police armories across the world.

Tukatalks is the show where fashion industry experts share real-world knowledge gained through hands-on experience.
