#63 Don't Just Sit There and Suck Your Thumb - Sean Beers, Portland Product Werks

Back again to tell us what's happened in his business since his last show, Sean and his crew at Portland Product Werks have had a great ride, befit with highs and lows. He specifically discourages first time entrepreneurs from entering into his clothes licensing business, as there are a million things that can go wrong. However, his company's licenses have been strong, particularly footwear with Pendleton and Dove Tail, manufacturers of women-specific construction wear. But there are always curve balls. The US/China tariff wars have really caused glitches in the business plan. But if "We curled up and sucked our thumb every time we had a problem, we would have quit a long time ago", as Sean says.
