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.

  • 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.

  • 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.
