Your
Shirt Say

2. Be Good To People
One of my favorite shirts
because the message is so
simple, the action is so
simple and anyone can do
it.
Check out
BeGoodToPeople.com
for the T-shirt and more
branded products with the
same message.

3. Love Your Village
When I first drank Pangeo Coffee at
Summer Brand Camp in Dallas, I met the
founder, Jeff Power, and quickly became
friends with him.
The following year, he gave me a Pangeo
T-shirt that read, “Love Your Village.”
When you learn more about the work
Pangeo does in the villages the coffee
comes from, you will understand that this
is more than just words on a shirt, it’s a
way that we can all live in a world where
neighbors help neighbors.

4. No Kid Hungry
I’m a passionate supporter of No Kid
Hungry. A campaign of the nonprofit,
Share Our Strength whose mission is to
end child hunger in America. I have
amassed over a week’s worth of T-
shirts through various Booster
promotions where supporters come up
with their own design and you can
purchase for a limited time. Both Denny’
s and Rosati’s have done it the last
couple years. And now you can
purchase a shirt directly from No Kid
Hungry.

5. Do What You Love
I’m not sure how I first heard of
Ugmonk, but when I did, this shirt felt
like it was designed for me. I knew I
wasn’t alone as Brian Fanzo, DJ
Waldow, and many others have
shown their shirts off. It’s not just
about doing what you love, but
loving what you do. Be sure to check
out the other Ugmonk products.
Their attention to detail and
conscious leadership in selecting
partners is seen in everything they
offer.

6. Promote Love
This is so simple, yet we live
in a world where we still
need to make more progress.
Love is love. It doesn’t have a
color, religion or sexual
orientation.
My friend, Steph Grant, has a
story about how it started,
and Promote Love has now
become a movement.

7. Robert Graham
I’ve almost always received compliments about the shirts
and sport coats I wear from Robert Graham.

8. Robert Graham
They have so much detail, I often learn something new every
time I wear one of these pieces.

9. Robert Graham
They are not clothes, they are art.

10. Robert Graham
I give talks in their shirts.

11. Robert Graham
I go to events in their shirts.

12. Robert Graham
I have even gotten seated at
a busy restaurant because of
their shirts.

clothes don’t make the person
but they can help create conversations
and spread important messages.”
