Welcome back to the PODCast!

How can better organization revolutionize your print-on-demand business? In this episode, Travis and Josiah unpack the secrets to mastering design and product management that can set you up for long term success. Join them for some light-hearted banter (nothing new there!) and a pirate-themed dad joke before they dive into the nitty-gritty details of design IDs, efficient workflow automation, and creating a master listing spreadsheet to streamline your business.

In fact, you might consider watching this one on YouTube because Travis shares 3 example spreadsheets that he uses in his business to this day. (Might be hard to follow along with audio.)

The guys break down the concept of a Design ID (DID) system building SKUs and for managing products across platforms like Walmart, Amazon, Etsy, and Shopify, making your catalog both manageable and scalable. The discussion includes tips on using storage solutions like Wasabi and using tools like Google Sheets and Excel for seamless project management and product creation.
