Episode description

In this week's episode of Gent's Talk, presented by Bulova, the Gents sit down with Tyler and Braden Handley of Ink Box, the company that popularized temporary tattoos and turned $10K from a buddy into $65M! What does it take to successfully scale a startup? Entrepreneurship is not glamorous and too often business people fall in love with the idea/lifestyle rather than accept the reality of the work involved. Roll up your sleeves and check out this week's episode to avoid the pitfalls of entrepreneurship. #gentstalk About Gent's Talk: The Gent's Talk series, powered by Gent's Post and presented by BULOVA Canada is an episodic podcast/video style conversation with the leading gents and rising stars of industry.
