In this episode, I sit down with Jenn Stank of Stankin’ Good Design, the first female guest and first true designer on the podcast. Jenn shares her journey from discovering art in high school to earning a graphic design degree, landing in the wrap industry almost by accident, and eventually building her own design business. She talks about the lessons learned at shops like ID Wraps and Bay Image, the pivotal role Kickcharge Creative played in shaping her skills, and the courage it took to leave her “dream job” to pursue entrepreneurship.

Jenn also reflects on the power of mentorship, leadership, and collaboration in the wrap world. From learning how to design in scale to spearheading process improvements at Kickcharge, her story highlights resilience, growth, and the pursuit of creative freedom. Today, through Stankin’ Good Design, she partners with wrap shops nationwide, helping clients bring their brands to life with bold, impactful vehicle wraps.

In this episode, I talk with Alex Vazquez of Beast Coast Customs about his journey from running vape shops to becoming one of the most recognized wrap shop owners in the Northeast. Alex shares how the challenges of COVID and shifting regulations pushed him back toward the wrap industry, where his early experience and passion laid the foundation for Beast Coast. He breaks down how branding, marketing, and certifications have helped separate his shop in a crowded market, and why building the right team is the key to scaling quality work.

We also dive into the realities of managing growth—balancing quality with delegation, creating training systems, and learning to trust others with the work. Alex reflects on Beast Coast’s rapid rise in just four years, the role of networking and advanced training, and how his team is pushing to be among the very best. It’s a conversation about resilience, leadership, and what it really takes to turn a vision into a thriving wrap business.
