E208: Celebrating 4 Years of the PODCast! + Print On Demand Trivia & Industry Insights

Ever wondered what it takes to keep a podcast thriving for four years? Join us in this special anniversary episode of the Print On Demand Cast as we look back on our journey since launching on August 31st, 2020. We'll kick things off by sharing some behind-the-scenes stories about the evolution of our logo and branding—from a humble printer ink splatter to a vibrant 80s synth-wave aesthetic that truly captures our spirit. And of course, no celebration would be complete without a slew of rapid-fire dad jokes to keep things light and fun.

Think you know everything about print-on-demand? Put your knowledge to the test with our trivia challenge! Discover when Merch by Amazon first opened its doors to eager creatives, and learn about the staggering milestone of Redbubble surpassing $1 billion in payouts to artists. We'll also explore the nitty-gritty of dye sublimation printing and discuss why direct-to-film (DTF) is giving direct-to-garment (DTG) a run for its money. Insights, laughs, and a few surprises are guaranteed as we challenge our expertise and reflect on what we've learned along the way.

Finally, we dive into the ever-evolving landscape of the print-on-demand industry and how it's intersected with our personal lives. From battling initial technical hurdles like DTG printhead clogs to adapting to the rise of AI tools like ChatGPT, we've navigated a dynamic and often unpredictable market. We'll discuss how social media influencers have reshaped the industry, the competitive pressures from platforms like Printify and Printful, and how the COVID-19 pandemic spurred a new wave of home-based entrepreneurs. Plus, hear about our personal transitions, relocations, and even how our hair lengths have changed over these transformative years. 😂

Enjoy the show!
