Torrey Tornado | New Duds | Shirt Show 28

Warning: Torrey Tornado has just touched down. Andy & Dylan got to hang with Torrey Valyou, the man behind New Duds, Squeegee Burger, Off Reg, and probably a few other projects that he's started since this episode was recorded. Torrey doesn't seem to be slowing down anytime soon, and he's leaving a path of creation in his wake. We covered a lot of ground in this episode, and had a damn good time doing it. We talk about everything from how he got into the industry, opened a print shop with his wife, created multiple brands (some more secretive than others), and even started a printing scholarship. We also discuss topics such as: growth, print teams, how his fulfillment operation lead to shipping beer, logistics headaches, employee benefits, the dangers of printing on camo, the benefits of taking breaks, dream shops, and why Dylan's prized possession is a dead rat. Duck and cover, we're talkin' shirt.
