Jesse Poteet is building a screen printing business from the ground up, and he's documenting the entire, unvarnished process in real time. Startup Screen Printing-How to start and grow a screen print business pulls back the curtain on what it actually takes to turn a DIY operation in a garage or basement into a viable company. This isn't a polished theory course; it's a practical, boots-on-the-ground audio journal where Jesse shares the specific tactics and strategies he's implementing right now, especially when marketing funds are scarce. You'll hear about the daily decisions, the unexpected hurdles, and the small victories that define the early stages of entrepreneurship in this creative trade. The podcast digs into the questions every new printer faces, from sourcing equipment on a budget to finding those first crucial customers without a massive advertising spend. It’s built for anyone who has felt inspired by the industry's biggest names-many of whom started exactly this way-and wants a honest, step-by-step companion for their own journey. By tuning in, you get a front-row seat to the trials, errors, and lessons learned as one person navigates the challenging yet rewarding path of growing a screen print shop from an idea into a sustainable business.
