#729: From T-Shirt Side Hustle to National Wholesale Brand: The Saltwater Boys Story

Sep 16, 2025

What does it take to turn a creative outlet into a thriving brand? Today I’m joined by Laci Hewett of Saltwater Boys, who shares her journey from nurse to entrepreneur and how printing t-shirts in her closet quickly grew into a national wholesale business. Laci talks about building strong partnerships with retailers, the importance of photography and merchandising in children’s apparel, and the lessons she’s learned about growth, marketing, and legacy along the way.
