Dad Gang Takes Over The Hat Market | Bart Szaniewski

Dads need representation in a world that makes it almost a running meme. Bart Szaniewski, co-founder of Dad Gang Co. joins the podcast to discuss the best year of being in the hat business, or better yet - the dad business!

We got a chance to touch on the feeling of fatherhood, the connection it can bring for men in all walks of life, and even the organic growth the message has landed the Dad Gang brand. The design of the hats has a style for just about everyone and it is in a niche that is essentially unlimited.

We get to learn about why community and a personal touch can change the perception of "business" into a bond between customers and a brand. I learned a ton in this episode.
