How Street Artist Marc Ecko Launched A Billion Dollar Clothing Company

Today I’m pumped to share the unusual story behind how Marc Ecko turned his love of street art into a billion dollar clothing company.

You see, like most artists, he got the “itch” early on, but he abandoned his craft for a much more stable career move – pharmacy school.

He didn’t last long though, and he soon dropped out to launch a clothing company.

He shares everything on this new Social Triggers Insider podcast, and here’s why I’m excited to share this with you:
