Dad Joke: (From Aaron’s Dad, so it’s a double Dad joke? Beware!)

Aaron: Tell our listeners a little about yourself and your business. What led you to garment decorating?

Aaron: Brandi – Last week we shared a news article we saw that was about one Mr. Taublieb and him coming to your shop with a scented T-Shirt. Tells us more about that shirt and your time with Charlie.

Aaron: As we were preparing for this discussion, we noticed that you both are very involved in your local communities, especially in giving back. Talk to us about why that is important to you?

Aaron: With all of the involvement in both running your business for profit and the altruistic side you both have, what are some of the biggest challenges you have to overcome? How do you navigate not giving it all away?

Aaron: How does that connection with your communities help your businesses thrive? How can other decorators emulate you?

Aaron: Based on what I’m hearing, you both have just given up sleeping. I know you are both Mom’s too, and probably a 100 other incredible responsibilities you juggle? Help us understand how you do it? For us mortals, what is the secret? 

Aaron: You are both 2021 Women in Screen Print Award Winners. Congratulations and well deserved. I’d love to know what that award means to you personally. 

Aaron: Lets talk passion projects. Being able to give back not only to our communities, but also to others in our industry and more broadly, what gets you excited?

Aaron: Tell us where people can connect with you?

Aaron: Closing question – If a young lady who is brand new to our industry came to you in a rush and said, “I have 2 minutes before I have to run, but what is the #1 piece of advice you have for me,” how would you answer her?
