The people behind the shirt

A small, real detail can make a business story memorable. My red DOPE shirt connects this interview with David Carroll to the print and direct-mail company he built. Watch our conversation and factory tour to see the people and work behind the name.

Our conversation about building Dope Marketing. Watch on YouTube.

That is why I keep the photograph and the recording together. A piece of clothing brings back a person and a day. In this case it connects to David, Jack Wendt, and time spent around Dope Marketing’s print and direct-mail operation in Minneapolis.

Come through the operation with us in the factory tour. Watch on YouTube.

Watch the interview for David’s account of building the company, then take the factory tour to see the operation. The shirt is the small detail that makes me remember the people behind the company.
