The Biggest Contract Mistakes Apparel Founders Make (That Could Cost You Thousands)
In this episode, Rachel shares a very personal story that highlights a critical legal and business lesson for every apparel entrepreneur: always get it in writing. Through the lens of her current rental dispute, she draws strikingly similar parallels between landlord agreements and the contracts apparel founders sign with vendors, manufacturers, and clients. If you’ve ever relied on a verbal agreement, this is a must-listen.

Whether you’re navigating NDAs, supplier terms, or a difficult landlord, listening to this episode will help you avoid costly mistakes and operate your business like a pro.
