How Ashore App Revolutionizes Proofing for Screen Printers | Interview with Cody Miles

Author: Jesse Poteet January 25, 2025 Duration: 48:08

Discover how the Ashore app is transforming proofing for screen printers! In this exclusive interview, I sit down with Cody Miles, founder of Ashore, to explore why he built this powerful proofing platform and how it’s helping creatives and screen print businesses streamline their approval workflows.

Tired of juggling emails, PDFs, and scattered customer feedback? Cody shares how Ashore simplifies the entire proofing process, offering features like automated workflows, real-time collaboration, white labeling, and detailed checklists. Plus, Ashore’s free plan is one of the most generous in the industry, making it accessible for screen printers of all sizes.

Cody also reveals why having a dedicated proofing tool beats built-in features of shop management software, like Printavo. If you’re ready to boost your efficiency, improve customer communication, and look like a pro in front of clients, this video is for you.

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.
