5 things I’ve learned as the co-founder of après-pickle
1. Community first. Relationships matter most. Our best customers became our biggest cheerleaders.
2. Wear lots of hats. Every day is different, and embracing that is part of the fun.
3. Trust your aesthetic. Having a unique perspective and point of view makes the brand your own.
4. Partnerships take patience. Consistent follow up makes all the difference.
5. Have fun with it. Pickleball clothing should be fun! Don’t take it too seriously.
