We recently had the chance to connect with Joshua Eernisse and have shared our conversation below.
Joshua , it’s always a pleasure to learn from you and your journey. Let’s start with a bit of a warmup: What is a normal day like for you right now?
Wake up, brew some coffee, take a 20-minute steam shower, then straight eight hours of listening to podcasts and music while I embroider hats for clients
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
I spend most of my days listening to punk rock and embroidering custom hats for clients. With 15years of experience in the embroidery and screen printing business, my creativity and strong work ethic have helped me become a premium embroiderer. My collaborative style and creative mindset have enabled me to develop inventive solutions for challenging tasks, tailoring production techniques to meet client needs.
I have an easy-going demeanor and problem-solving ability, enabling me to execute client visions within a deadline-driven environment. He’s known for creating innovative solutions for jobs outside the industry norm.
Amazing, so let’s take a moment to go back in time. What’s a moment that really shaped how you see the world?
I was hanging out with a good buddy in the industry, and we started discussing the appeal industry. What he eventually said changed my outlook on how I want to run my business. He said, “I just want to make cool shit.” My main goal going forward is to make cool, high-quality merch for people
Is there something you miss that no one else knows about?
Not sure, no one knows about, but I miss POGS
Alright, so if you are open to it, let’s explore some philosophical questions that touch on your values and worldview. What important truth do very few people agree with you on?
Mind Believe it, Body Achieve it.
Okay, we’ve made it essentially to the end. One last question before you go. Are you doing what you were born to do—or what you were told to do?
Absolutely believe I was born to be an embroiderer. The best part of my day is seeing a random stranger wearing something I created.
