Our regular listeners know this, but 2 Regular Guys are all about garment decorating, a bit of fun, and no rants or lectures or selling. We are not doing this for our employers, but rather for our industry. Since February 2013, The 2 Regular Guys have been the first and the most listened to garment decorating industry podcast on this planet! We are humbled by all of you tuning in each week. We work hard to bring you information that will make your business better, and our industry better. Take a look at our incredible weekly guest list and you’ll understand where this industry goes for news, interviews and the heartbeat of garment decorating. Thanks for listening! Made to Make It with Ryan Moor
Share with our listeners a little bit about your own start in the industry. How did you learn to pull a squeegee in your garage? Your new book is Made to Make It: A Guide to Business Success in Screen Printing. Sounds as if we’re not talking screens and inks. So this is more than a book, it’s interactive education. I know that because I have a signed copy. Tell us about that. Where does the reader (or our listener) start with the process? Part 2 of the book is entitled Developing Your Customer. I love the idea of this. Talk about the concept. VeeAtCentralianShop: What surprised him as he talked with printers around the country for this book VeeAtCentralianShop: What is the number 1 mistake screen printers make (on the business side)? Our listeners are always interested in discussions on purchasing equipment and supplies. Let’s spend some time talking about this. How large an impact has your online store and the ability of customers to place online orders have on your business? You talk about Getting Lean and Optimizing Your Processes. I’d like to have a conversation on that subject. We devote whole shows to planning and you wrap up your book with this subject. Share your thoughts on this with our listeners. Would you like to give us a quick update on the philanthropic project you told us about back in March?
