I can't help but think of myself, when even after getting some experience under my belt in one facet of the industry, how woefully ignorant I actually was in another when I changed direction. Going from printing yardage, to flat stock, to engraving and die stamping, and then to shirts was eye-opening, and in retrospect, humbling.
The big difference was that fortunately, I didn't have the desire for celebrity and the internet to help me broadcast this publically. God help me if it had been now!
