Due to a last-minute cancellation, we get to close out the show from August 7th. First, we get an opportunity to talk to Show Sales Director James ”Ruggs” Kochevar from the former NBM Shows, now Graphics Pro Expos about 2020, their Breakaway Sessions, and plans for 2021. Then Terry and Aaron are going to talk about starting a product decorating business. And all the Regulators will be pitching in with their insights as well. The conversation will include: 1) What do we wish we had known before starting a business? 2) What pitfalls can we help you avoid? And 3) we’ll wrap up with business advice from the guys and the Regulators as well!
