It’s that time of year again for the 10th time since the inception of 2 Regular Guys. The Decorators Community Industry Awards – the REGGIE’S! The only industry award that the people completely run. You all nominate, you all vote, and we get to facilitate. On this show, we will announce the winner from the 10 categories and host as many of them live as we can to accept their awards. The REGGIE’S this year is sponsored by Our Success Group. Please support them to be able to keep the REGGIE going by going to https://oursuccessgroup.com/tryosg/

Our regular listeners know this, but 2 Regular Guys are all about garment decorating, a bit of fun, and no rants, 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 improve your business and our industry. 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!
