2 Regular Guys Talking Decoration and Personalization

13 hours ago

The 2 Regular Guys podcast has evolved from Aaron Montgomery and Terry Combs hanging out in hotel bars and restaurants after trade shows, eating chicken wings, disagreeing over ranch or bleu cheese as the true and proper dipping sauce, and talking the garment decorating and personalization industry. A long list of industry friends joined into those conversations over the years, in cities across America and the world. These same friends plus new friends we meet along the way now come back to join us as guests to the program. The trade shows continue, the industry grows and matures, and the 2 Regular Guys continue those conversations, talking garment and product decorating (and on occasion beer and chicken wings) weekly. Welcome to our 8th Year. Come along for the ride!

Shop Owner Growth Strategies

This week on the 2 Regular Guys Podcast, we’re joined by Adrienne Palmer and the team from Fabric.ink to talk shop ownership at a deeper level. Beyond revenue goals and the daily grind. We’ll unpack the real struggles that keep decorators stuck, and the shifts needed to grow with intention. From building financial stability to gaining back control of your time, we’re asking the hard questions. What actually moves the needle in today’s print shops? What tools, habits, and mindset changes separate growth-focused owners from the rest? If you’ve ever felt buried in production or unsure what “growth” really means for your business, this episode is for you.
