11/1/18: 2 hours talking with Pat about our company's slogan and guiding principles on the car ride home, 3 hours Pioneer Baltimore, 1 hour when we got home taking pictures of shirts 11/2/18: 6 hours working on shirt picture taking, website updating with photos and formatting, slogan brainstorming 11/3/18: 1.5 hours talking with Al and Pat (and Jackie) in the kitchen about the business and Bob. It was a real heart to heart, making things right, was very beneficial and very necessary. Got to be aggressive, got to let me be me, Al be Al. 11/4/18: 1 hour brainstorming with Pat about how to get these shirts out and when, goal setting and to-do's for the week 11/5/18: sent message to Christos (started and recently shut down Corrupt Youth) asking for advice 11/6/18: talked with Christos over FB messenger to ask him a few questions. Learned that he ordered shirts wholesale, removed tags, put his own on, then screen printed. For hats, he said he got fabric and sent it all to a manufacturer to have them made. Said to go on alibaba and search hat makers to find one? Finally drafted a response to Xan Hood (founder of Buffalo Jackson) to see if I could talk with him on the phone to ask him some questions about the more minute details of starting and running a business. Wore one of our shirts yesterday and today, so did Pat. Going to be working on developing the About Us tonight so that we can make the website go live either tomorrow or Thursday. Thinking Thursday would be a good day to post a picture of some of our shirts/hats. |
