Episode Notes

This week we talk with Jeff Sheldon from Ugmonk.

It all started with a simple idea – design fresh high-quality unique items. Just one month after Jeff had graduated college, married his high-school sweetheart, moved to Burlington, VT, and started a full-time design job, he found myself brainstorming about launching his own brand centered around a love for typography and minimal design: Ugmonk.

What started as an outlet for my passion and entrepreneurial experiment quickly grew into much more than just selling a few shirts.

Listen and find out how Jeff went from full-time agency employee to full-time Shopify store owner and clothing designer.

Check out Ugmonk and pick up some finery for yourself. (I know I've got my eye on those waxed canvas bags. I love the patina waxed canvas develops with use.)
