QGPod 48 – Mario Ford Owner of Good News Apparel

On this episode of the podcast Anson and Chris were joined by the owner and proprietor of Good News Apparel, Mario Ford. Mario started the brand back in 2015 as a means to spread a positive message in the community, in times that can often feel like there is a shortage of it. They discussed the challenges that come with working a 9-5+, while designing new garments and running a retail operation. They talked about the changing landscape of Oakland, and how they can shape and influence those changes rather than sit back on the sidelines. It was a great conversation about hard work, inspiration, and community, so tune out the mass media for a bit and tune into this episode for some real good news.
