Dan, I wanted to say you're rad for taking my call for an hour once– just to offer advice about apprenticeships. It mentorship part of your weekly routine?

Having worked in apparel and now owning a brand, I learned design takes like 5% of my time. The rest is shipping, customer service, product dev, content creation, marketing and other shit.

Is this your experience and how do you divvy responsibilities?

What brands are inspiring you guys right now?

Great design concepts so far. Love the product shots too.

Any concerns about a crowded lapel pin market place? What products are next (plz say hats)?
