Trademarked the name to a Youth Center yesterday. I stated earlier that my girl is a teacher and she wants to do this so we are partnering up on it. I also have an interest into getting into clothing..have a few dope concepts. There are a few more things that me and others are thinking about partnering up on also.
Be careful with partnerships, especially when it's your vision. Too many ideas may take you away from the direction you wanted to go. Look at contracting work out to people vs them being a partner. That way they get paid for their service but they don't have a stake in the company nor would you have to consider their ideas.

Good luck either way! If you work hard at it, you will get to where you want to be.

clothing line is almost ready for launch..youth center took back seat but many other things are being worked out...
would love to hear how you started the clothing line...I got some shirt and hat ideas I'd like to do someday...I did some research and it looked like teespring was a great way to go about it but is that site still profitable and poppin like it was back in 2014...most of the case studies I've seen about it was from a year or so ago

Invest in a heat press...you can press ur own shirt...I use fiverr/freelancer/upwork for overseas designers to do the work for cheap...get LLC...checkout T-shirt Helpdesk/Tshirtriches to get some information and to walk you through...I am outsourcing to screenprinter for my line but heatpress allows me to make $$ on the side customizing shirts for people...

Also, Shopify and bigcartel are good options too for a site

Like the shirts. I'll definitely cop one.

How did you make the logo? A particular program? I'm interested in making shirts.


Outsourced it. I use Fiverr, Freelancer, Upwork. I let people overseas do my designing to cut costs. Sometimes I use American designers if I want the communication to be easier.
