What does a CEO from the hundred-million-dollar corporate world know about running a small screen printing shop? As it turns out, everything.Dan Frank left a career in global logistics to acquire a local print shop, convinced that elite business principles in efficiency and productivity could transform small businesses into multi-million dollar companies. His theory was put to the ultimate test when the pandemic hit six months later, forcing him to innovate or fail. The result: he doubled the business and scaled to nearly 100 employees.In this interview with Ryan Atkinson, Dan unpacks the exact operational playbook he used to engineer this explosive business growth. He reveals the secrets to applying lean manufacturing on a small scale, building a merit-based company culture , and the best way to maintain high employee retention. For any owner looking to break through a growth plateau, this episode is a masterclass in turning a traditional business into a high-performance machine!Takeaways:- Apply core principles of manufacturing, efficiency, and budgeting to any business, regardless of its size. High-level strategies are not just for large corporations.- Use a major crisis as a catalyst for innovation. Instead of just cutting back, pivot your business model, invest in technology, and re-engineer processes to fuel future growth.- To improve efficiency, you must first measure it. Implement systems that track daily productivity and set clear, obtainable performance standards for employees to strive toward.- Create a system where compensation and promotions are directly tied to measurable performance. This "meritocracy" directly rewards and motivates your highest-achieving employees.- Foster a high-performance environment by investing directly in your team. This can include significantly increasing pay, adding full benefits, and implementing a profit-sharing program tied to performance.- Implement a strict probationary period and be prepared to let go of new hires who are not a cultural fit. This "fire fast" approach protects your company culture and leads to higher long-term retention.- Scaling your business successfully requires building a reliable management team through years of mentoring, daily production huddles, and fostering a collaborative problem-solving environment. - Build a "winning culture" by setting realistic and achievable goals. Avoid demoralizing "stretch goals"; instead, set targets that allow your team to win consistently, which builds motivation.- Identify and intensely focus on your single most controllable expense. For Dan, managing labor costs as a specific percentage of revenue was the key to ensuring overall profitability.- Place your leadership directly where the core work is done. Moving supervisors from offices to the production floor eliminates a potential "us vs. them" culture and keeps them engaged in daily operations.Tags: Retail Goods, Print Shop, Lean Manufacturing, Entrepreneurship, Business Growth Resources:Start Your Business Today: https://links.upflip.com/451nU5V Connect with Dan: https://www.linkedin.com/in/daniel-frank-60766aa/

DGI Apparel—the “Expedia of blanks”—just got shut down. So what happened… and what does it mean for your shop? In this solo Print Hustlers Podcast, Bruce and Steven break down the surprising shutdown of DGI Apparel, a software that allowed decorators to compare prices across major garment manufacturers. The platform had to close its doors—leaving shops with fewer sourcing tools and big questions about the future of tech in the industry. Steven also shares a detailed, honest guide to starting a screen printing shop in 2025 with just $10,000—what gear to buy, what to avoid, and how to actually build momentum without overextending.

Roots Music Rambler
Celebrating Bluegrass, Harmony and Family with the Bibelhauser Brothers

Few musicians today stay as busy as Aaron Bibelhauser. Not only is he a prolific songwriter and one half of the twin brother-led bluegrass band called The Bibelhauser Brothers, but he hosts a notable bluegrass music radio show, collaborates with several other artists on albums and singles and leads a community jam session periodically in his home city of Louisville. The only mystery about Aaron is when does he sleep? Aaron and his twin Adam, who splits vocals with his brother, plays bass, contributes to the writing and production of songs, and naturally offers beautiful blood harmony to the group, joined Roots Music Rambler this week to talk about the group's new singles, a potential new album, collaborations and more. We discussed their journey to be musicians, and their history with a previous band called Relic as well. While Adam has a day job and is a full-time dad, Aaron is busy writing, performing and producing. He's penned songs for Del McCoury, Michael Cleveland, and the Louisville Shakespeare Festival, and produced a tribute album for Mickey Clark. He's also the host of Bluegrass Evolution, a Sunday night bluegrass radio program on WFPK (91.9 FM) in Louisville.  Also on the show, Frank and Falls discuss Grammy snubs and take a listen to Stephen Wilson Jr.'s astonishing new cover of Ben E. King's standard “Stand By Me,” which lit up the Live at the Print Shop video concert series recently.  Don't forget you can now show your support of the show with Roots Music Rambler's new merch, now available at rootsmusicrambler.com/store.

Hey hey! Hope everybody is having a truly relaxing, mindful summer with enough sunscreen and design totes filled with image-heavy, text-light books to go around. We're back with another episode of Graphic Support Group, believe it or not. We have a very special episode for you, the first in a series we'd like to call “Behind the Screen” (thanks to Drew's partner Deniz Önder for the great nomenclature). This series focuses on the behind-the-scene heroes of the design industry: the printers, technicians, administrators, and studio managers who keep the wheels of this chaos screwed on. Without them, we'd be pretty helpless, so we'd like to dig into what keeps these instrumental figures motivated and inspired, and the pitfalls they undoubtedly face from time to time. Our inaugural Behind-the-Screen-er is Hasan Askari. Hasan has been a key figure at The Rhode Island School of Design since the late 90's when he co-founded Concept-Link, a print and design shop that slowly but surely became a go-to resource for design, photo, and architecture students, helpless to find the proper printing capabilities on RISD's Campus. Over the years Concept-Link offered their services to RISD's students and faculty to the point of giving students access to the print shop after hours, answering emergency 3 am phone calls from feverish degree project candidates in the 11th hour of production, and even eventually moving into RISD's official facilities to become the one-stop-shop for students to talk through print techniques and revise projects to make them actually printable, while Hasan dished out philosophy and literature references and pearls of wisdom to bloodshot-tearful eyes of the RISD woebegone. Besides being a full time print hero and entrepreneur, he has also enjoyed a journalistic career and contributed in critical studies and creative nonfiction. He has also been working on an anthology of English translations of contemporary Urdu poetry. James and Drew were delighted to talk with Hasan, after years away from Concept Link with memories rushing back in of our days as crying students. We hope you enjoy! This is a public episode.

Welcome to Dev Game Club, where this week we continue our series of one-off episodes about games that featured rotoscoping, turning to 1989's Prince of Persia. We set it in its time and discuss its publisher and author before talking about the game proper. Dev Game Club looks at classic video games and plays through them over several episodes, providing commentary. Sections played: To levels 4 (Tim) and 8 (Brett) Issues covered: the series hook, games from 1989, rotoscoping, similarities to Tomb Raider, tiles and metrics, a more systemic/discretized game, precision and replay, figuring out the level enough to know where to save, that speedrunning feeling, do you ever wish you could rewind time, requiring more game due to mechanics, having to learn the whole game, the feeling of running and jumping, the tension of animation and input, multiple inputs, the intertwining of animation and design, the feeling of swashbuckling, the great feeling, action as character and commitment, wondering how many people finished the game, the punishing feeling, checkpointing, punch the eagle, the great feel of parrying, pushing through the enemies, tells, the approaches of different guards, cinematic combat, difficulty in text adventures and player appeal, chipping away at knowledge, adding drama, resources and the doppelganger, level design and reuse, animating bits of the world, his books, mixing up the skeleton. Games, people, and influences mentioned or discussed: Another World, Jordan Mechner, Broderbund Software, Populous, Game Boy, Super Mario Land, Tetris, Ghosts and Goblins, Sega, Golden Axe, Shinobi, SimCiy, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Ultima (series), Star Trek, Final Fantasy II, Castlevania III, Print Shop, Choplifter, Karateka, Lode Runner, Hypercard, The Last Express, Agatha Christie, Tomb Raider, Triple Click, Plague Tale: Innocence, Dark Souls, Jamie Griesemer, Halo, Mario 64, 1001 Arabian Nights, Seventh Voyage of Sinbad, Errol Flynn, Indiana Jones, Civilization, Robin Hood, Captain Blood, Daffy Duck, MegaMan (series), Kirk Hamilton, Jake Gyllenhaal, Ben Kingsley, Final Fantasy VI, Aaron Evers, Mark Garcia.

You are not responsible for the inflected Childhood Trauma that is causing your perspective of “It's Impossible for me!” (Those ‘sins' are others to pay for, for THEY made THOSE choices!)  However, you are responsible for maintaining that perspective, AKA: Your actual prayer request, that you are repeating in the center of God's Temple, AKA: The center of yourself. (I Corinthians 3:16) nothing will change until YOU change the prayer yourself. Listen in as I show you a life beyond childhood trauma, a life bolding walking through the wilderness, fearing not because you understand the power within you.
