In this Shop Talk, Ink Kitchen’s Rick Roth, founder of Rhode Island-based Mirror Image Screenprinting & Embroidery, chats with YouTuber and business coach Stan Banks, founder of the T-Shirt Side Hustle, about what someone needs to do when considering growing their business from a side gig to a freestanding shop.
After founding multiple businesses, Banks grew his aptly named T-Shirt Side Hustle into a thriving full-time production. Through Hustle, Banks teaches people the ins and outs of starting a T-shirt business at home.
Individuals seeking the necessary knowledge to get their feet wet in the decorated apparel industry, will find information and tools on starting a custom print shop, a T-shirt line, and/or apparel brand via Hustle’s website and corresponding social media channels. Banks also provides tips and tricks for running heat presses and screen-printing technology.
