Today our team is sitting down with Archie Clay III, Co-founder of WEAR BRIMS -a  luxury hat company elevating high-end fashion while instilling unapologetic confidence into everyone, one brim at a time. Archie and his business partner Tahj run their business out of Plywood Place. Wear Brims has been featured in Nordstrom, O Magazine, British GQ, Huffington Post, and The Root as well as Beyonce's Black Parade Route.

In this episode, we get into it - from how we can learn through our customers to the impact entrepreneurship has on our relationships to the Wear Brims model of launching products, and we also talk about the tensions of securing funding as a black entrepreneur. Let's get to it!

Welcome to the Plywood Podcast: Real talk for social entrepreneurs and nonprofit leaders. 

Plywood is a nonprofit in Atlanta leading a community of startups doing good. Over the past 12 years, we have worked with over 800 startup founders and nonprofit leaders wrestling with the tensions of starting, growing, and sustaining.

Think of The Plywood Podcast as a kitchen table conversation debating the pros and woes of running a business and sustaining a nonprofit. We dive into building business plans, sustaining relationships (personal and professional), diversity, equity, and inclusion in the workplace, forming values while being a part of true cultural change for good, and so much more.
