Gino I have been reading Mike Adams’ book about business storytelling. What caught my attention is that stories can reduce the push back. And then, I was reading about how they can be the path to success. I started thinking about your story and decided to apply what I have learned. Take a look...

FireSprint.com I am just curious. And, I would like to learn the details of how to post a video here on Signs101. So here is my question. What about posting your "FAST&FREE From FireSprint"? here on Signs101. Plus, I would like to know the specific steps about how to do that.

Johnny Best Thank you. I found them on Instagram. Interesting group.

SignosaurusRex SignosaurusRex as you ask, "For what purpose and to what end?" Back in January of 2019, I was reading Jeffrey Gitomer's new book, "Sales Manifesto." The purpose and end of my interest in those who still do hand lettering is their ultimate success. That is the big picture. In the...

SignosaurusRex I remember back about four years ago, just before I retired from N Glantz (New owner of Product Sign Supplies), I met two of these brand new hand lettering sign makers. I so much enjoyed visiting with them. I wonder, between you and me, could we continue this exploratory...

SignosaurusRex so glad you brought up the "growing community of young guns..." Do you happen to know if any of them are members of Signs101?

Johnny Best Well, your post about "getting caught..." I wonder. Let me narrow it down to one small detail. Johnny Best are you aware of how Paul Gentile views that kind of post?

Yes, I have had quite a few really bad days here on Signs101. Sorry about that. Today is a new day, and I hope to do better. I respect you and appreciate you. Often misunderstand you.

Billct2 Did you have any hiccups doing weeding with that early vinyl material?

Johnny Best So good to hear that you "Still do it all the time." I sense that you are in a rare class. And, I certainly to appreciate your handmade illustrations posted here on Signs101. Let me ask you this, think back to some of your early days and see if you can pull out an interesting story...

Gino, could you shorten that up a little. My attention span is not that long.

TammieH You mention "Letterheads...groups." Back when I worked at Product Sign Supplies, three years in a row, every October, they would host a Letterheads event. All kinds of hand made instruction from the leading experts. Alas, the company was sold and the new owner did it once and said no more.

Billct2 Do you have any memories of the first few signs you made with the Gerber machine?

Gino When I first started working at Product Sign Supplies, it was just you put it, "when 1/2 the people in this place were actual hand painters and pictorial artists..." I loved listening to their stories. Gino, do you have any fond memories of some of your first signs?

netsol I was working as the outside sales rep for a small sign shop in Livermore CA when their first Gerber machine arrived. I watched with amazement. Just for the fun of it, I learned how to operate it. netsol do you have any early memories of using that machine?

sardocs So good to hear from you. Thank you. As you say, "add the human feel..." Great input.

Jean Shimp A BIG thank you for your input. I would imagine that you still remember your very first sign, right?

James Burke Let me also pick up on your, "contact telephone numbers, account / policy numbers...." My power of attorney has access to my Google Doc that has all of that information. I am able to keep it current and he always has access to it. Thanks again for this timely reminder. It can prevent...

Last week I had a wonderful phone conversation with a sign painter that I met at Product Sign Supplies in San Jose CA. He moved to the Oregon coast and is semi-retired. Yet, many of his clients won't let him stop doing his hand lettering. The COVID-19 situation has really slowed him down, but he...

James Burke Thank you for this important reminder. One of my daughters is a nurse. Several years ago, while she worked in intensive care, sometimes she would observe a patient who had been on life support and she would see how families would fight over what to do, pull the plug or not. Well, she...
