   42. How to Start An Apparel Brand in 2023

   In this podcast, the LAST one of the year, Ryan and Kota look back on the changing landscape of business in 2022, what we learned from the year, problems we encountered, solutions we're currently deploying, and how they might apply to your own business. And also what to expect in 2023. This episode also dives into the specifics of a new product/group we're launching (and why we're doing it), so if you've been toying with the idea of starting an apparel line, or maybe you already started one and it's not going the way you expected, you're definitely gonna want to see this. The new course ITW is launching is a complete guide to get started on your journey of building and scaling an apparel brand; what to expect, how to go about it, and how to avoid the MANY pitfalls on the path. After 15 years in the apparel game and helping hundreds of other brands grow and scale (as well as his own), the course is a road map of all the lessons learned and best practices. Everything from how to search for a name, to how to scale a modern e-comm apparel brand, to how to establish a valuation model and plan an exit when the time comes. The course includes 15 video lessons that go in-depth on these topics. 1. Mindset 2. Partnerships 3. Choosing a Name & Creating a Brand 4. Branding & Lifestyle (what is it and how to create it) 5. Business & Banking Structure (banking set up and how to use credit cards to get free money) 6. Creating Digital Infrastructure (your websites & social media) 7. Choosing Products (it's not always T shirts!) 8. Developing Art & Creatives 9. Sizing Ratio 10. Initial Launch Blueprint 11. Fulfillment 12. Data Analysis 13. Scaling Reach & Conversions 14. Advertising & Marketing 15. Valuation & Positioning for Sale For all of these 15 lessons, we have them available as full videos, but also as downloadable PDFs as well as an audio playlist so you can absorb the info whichever way is best for you. We also have a private Facebook group that has some of our friends and fellow brand owners that have 6,7, and even 8-figure businesses that can answer your questions and get you the info that actually WORKS. As you already know, it's super important to be a part of a community that wants you to succeed, and lifts you up, instead of dragging you down. We also have monthly LIVE ZOOM calls where Ryan and the best professionals in the industry come in and answer all of your questions! The group will also have access to exclusive events that are very unique to the apparel world. If you are interested in learning more about the Industry Brandworks course, click the link below!

   41. Job Titles, Decision Makers, and Business Partners

   If you are new to entrepreneurship, you might be asking yourself: “When should I start to worry about giving out job titles in the workspace?” It can be a bit confusing if you don’t know what each title means and the roles involved. CEO, CFO, COO, and so on. In reality, it doesn't really matter in the beginning. If you are a solopreneur and it's just you and the company, you can give yourself any role you want. IT’S YOUR COMPANY! If you do have a partner, it is important to understand each position and how you guys are moving the business forward. You need to find the lines where you don’t step on each other's toes, but you have the same end goal in mind. In the podcast Ryan and Kota discuss: - Understanding the importance of making the right calls for your business (each partner has their specific roles) - Giving yourself space and grace to make mistakes -How you can branch out and expand your company through different avenues to grow the vision even further -And why you SHOULDN’T move to Texas lol AND SO MUCH MORE!

   “How do I stay strong during the holiday season?” is a common challenge for anyone who has big goals, whether in business or just life goals. Christmas is right around the corner and it's normal to struggle with maintaining balance between your business needs and family commitments. You might be heading home for the holidays and see everyone else is taking it easy… but you know deep down inside, you can’t afford to do that. You want to SUCCEED! BUT… it is not always easy. In the podcast Ryan and Kota discuss: - How to keep your business ON TRACK during the holiday season. - How to deal with family members and their opinion of your entrepreneur journey. - Learning how to let go of people (even family) to build your future. - The importance of surrounding yourself with people that have the same vision you do. - Focusing on the most influential entrepreneurs and their stories how they got to that point ( read their autobiography, watching youtube interviews, documentaries) AND SO MUCH MORE!
