    BONUS – The Rise of Automation: How to Future-Proof Your Print Shop
    Nov 28 2025
    Automation isn’t the future. It’s happening now. The 2 Regular Guys are joined by Brad Pengelly, Founder of Hoops, to talk about how automation is reshaping the print and promo industry. Brad shares real-world insights from running his own print business and building Hoops — modern order and sales management software made for decorators. Discover how automation can help you, eliminate wasted time and manual admin, build clarity and consistency into your workflow and unlock new capacity, growth, and profitability. We’ll cover why process is the true foundation of success, how to break the “we’ve always done it this way” mindset, and how automation empowers your team to focus on what really matters — creativity and customers. Tune in and learn how to prepare your print shop for long-term success in an automated future. Your business doesn’t need more tasks. It needs clarity, alignment, and a structure that supports you. The Business Builder Accelerator is a guided 12-week experience that helps you uncover what actually matters, make confident decisions, and build a foundation you can grow on.

Use the subject line “Weekly News.” Rise of Automation Terry: Brad, let’s start with your story — what was the turning point that led you from running a print shop to founding Hoops? Aaron: What does automation mean in practical terms for a small or mid-sized print shop? Terry: Many shops feel automation sounds too complex or expensive. What’s the mindset shift they need to see it as accessible and empowering instead of intimidating? Aaron: Before adding software or automation, you talk about “process clarity.” What’s the best way for a business owner to uncover what’s actually happening in their workflow? Terry: Can you give an example of a shop that transformed their operations by getting their processes right before automating? Aaron: What kind of measurable results do you see — in time saved, errors reduced, or growth unlocked — when businesses implement automation effectively? Terry: How do you balance automation with the human side of the business — creativity, relationships, and personal service? Aaron: We’ve always done it this way – What’s your advice for leaders trying to break through that resistance to change? Terry: What are some early warning signs that a print shop is falling behind because it’s not embracing automation yet? Aaron: What do you see as the next big evolution in automation for the print and promo world? Terry: How does Hoops help decorators simplify their operations today and prepare for what’s next in this rapidly changing industry?

  • When Print Worlds Collide: Breaking the Old Rules of Print with The Print Whisper

    When Print Worlds Collide: Breaking the Old Rules of Print with The Print Whisper
    Nov 21 2025
    This week, the 2 Regular Guys welcome back Warren Werbitt, The Print Whisperer himself, to explore the growing convergence between commercial print and apparel decoration. Warren recently launched theprintwhisperer.shop, and we’ll talk about what pulled him deeper into the decorating world and why this crossover matters for the future of both industries. We’ll also continue the conversation Aaron and Warren started on his podcast, Printing’s Alive. Together, they unpack the challenges printers unintentionally create for themselves, the real drivers behind standout creativity, how sales mindsets have evolved, and what leadership really looks like in print today. Expect stories, laughs, and practical insights from two people who love this industry and aren’t afraid to say what everyone else is thinking. Your business doesn’t need more tasks. It needs clarity, alignment, and a structure that supports you. The Business Builder Accelerator is a guided 12-week experience that helps you uncover what actually matters, make confident decisions, and build a foundation you can grow on.

Use the subject line “Weekly News.” https://youtu.be/tN1SuUs-7Sw Dad Joke Terry: I’ve been warned not to tell any more Thanksgiving jokes (How’s that going?) Well, I couldn’t just quit cold turkey Print Worlds Collide Aaron: Welcome in! It’s been a while since we had you on the show (July of 2020). Give our listeners a brief Warren 101 and as a bunch of apparel geeks here, what inspired you to launch theprintwhisperer.shop? Terry: On the podcast you did with Aaron, you talked about selling a large batch of shirts and how exciting that felt. What does that kind of excitement tell you about where creativity fits into print today? Aaron: When we talked on your podcast (https://youtu.be/ZfQpEBmcWiY?si=Eanh7jMqcaEXnb8I), we discussed some ways that printers often create their own challenges. What are a few of those patterns you see popping up again and again? Terry: You and Aaron had a great conversation about passion being fuel. How do you stay fired up about print after all these years? Aaron: You’re known for connecting with people anywhere… elevators, airplanes, trade shows. How can less extroverted printers learn to build the same kind of relationships? Terry: Many shops struggle without realizing they’re creating their own roadblocks. What’s one self-inflicted challenge you see all the time that printers rarely admit to? Aaron: We talked about young talent on your podcast. What do you believe needs to change for print and apparel shops to attract the next generation? Terry: Humor plays a huge role in your content and your sales style. How can printers use humor and positivity to stand out to customers? Aaron: When you look at shops that thrive, what habits or mindsets do you see consistently? Terry: After everything we’ve talked about today, what do you wish more printers understood about their own potential? Aaron: Tell us where people can connect with you, learn more about what you do and buy some fun shirts?

  • The Hidden Power of Process: Lessons from a Growth Year

    The Hidden Power of Process: Lessons from a Growth Year
    Nov 14 2025
    This week on the 2 Regular Guys Podcast, we’re joined by Daniel Frank, owner and CEO of Silverscreen Decoration & Fulfillment, to explore how process, leadership, and strategic outsourcing can completely transform a growing business. With more than 30 years of experience in logistics and manufacturing, Dan has seen firsthand how disciplined systems and a solutions-first mindset drive real, measurable growth. His company is up 30% to 40% this year, with monthly volume more than doubling. Proof that process can outperform hustle. Daniel shares how outsourcing marketing, IT, art, and finance actually strengthened his company’s control and culture, and how focusing on client-driven solutions led to new revenue streams and loyal partnerships. If you’ve ever wondered how to scale without losing your sanity, this conversation is packed with insight and inspiration.

Use the subject line “Weekly News.” https://youtu.be/9ZGe96lNDTg Dad Joke Aaron: What do you call a happy cowboy? Jolly Rancher The Power of Process Aaron: Can you start by sharing your background and how your experience in logistics and manufacturing shaped the way you lead your company today? Terry: You’re in the middle of a 30 or 40% growth year — what are the biggest factors driving that success? Aaron: You’ve built a system that emphasizes process over chaos. How did you start creating those systems, and what was the first one that made a big difference? Terry: Many business owners fear outsourcing. What helped you get past that fear and build confidence in the decision? Aaron: How do you make sure those outsourced teams stay aligned with your brand and standards? Terry: Let's get back inside your internal team… How do you develop and empower your leadership team to own their areas while maintaining overall accountability? Aaron: You run on a merit-based culture. How does that show up day-to-day, and what impact has it had on your team’s performance? Terry: What’s your process for identifying new opportunities or deciding when to say yes to something new? Aaron: I know you have added a lot of digital decoration in recent years. As a contract decorator, some people feel they have to stay analog primarily from a pricing standpoint. But you have a unique take on what digital decoration, like DTF, is doing for your business. Terry: How do you personally balance working on the business versus in it as you continue to grow? Terry: We have only scratched the surface of some of the wonderful conversations I have had with you. If people want to connect with you or learn more about the services you provide, how can they do that?
