#38 – How I Started Mini Truck Scene and Went From Photography to Apparel

Back in 2011, I had no idea what a simple domain name purchase would lead to. It initially started as a place to store my truck show photography, but over the years, that grew to all sorts of merchandise.

I started small, just some stickers, koozies, and super basic tshirts. For awhile, I even carried some products like DVDs from other companies in the scene.

In early 2013, I was ready to take this idea to a whole new level. My first vendor booth weekend was a success and I was hooked.

Listen to my story from how this idea became a reality, how my photography led to starting a clothing line, how I was able to finance everything, some simple tips I learned along the way, and so much more.

RWR-026: What It Means To Be An Expert

“To be really successful at anything, you don’t have to be the best. Being the best is too hard and there’s only one person who gets to be that. It’s too elite. You can be an expert if you know a little more than the average person. If you read 3 books on any topic or learn that amount of information on a skill or industry, you can make a good living at it on your own. You just have to want to do it. If you’re passionate about it, the money will follow.”
