CHICAGO | Illinois – September 2025 – Join curated groups of print shop owners to set goals, stay accountable, and grow your business with expert coaching.
Fabric, an executive coaching program built exclusively for progressive print shop owners, is now accepting applications for its third cohort. The deadline to apply is October 1, 2025.
Founded by Bruce Ackerman (Printavo), Steven Farag (Campus Ink), and Kevin Baumgart (Sales Ink), Fabric was created to fill a gap in the decorated apparel industry by providing accountability, support, and proven business coaching.
Each curated group of 7 to 10 non-competing shops meets monthly with an EOS-certified coach. These sessions focus on setting goals, sharing strategies, and holding owners accountable—creating a powerful system for real growth.
Since launching earlier this year, Fabric already has 50 shops actively participating across multiple groups.
“My first unscheduled cold door knock was a win,” says Brian Newman, president of Sublime Silkscreen and member of Fabric’s first cohort. “I’ll be honest, I just wanted to go home. But I knew I couldn’t face my Fabric group without checking this off my list. That quick stop turned into a job that more than covered my Fabric fee. Huge thank you to my team for holding me accountable. Your support made all the difference!”
Key Features of Fabric’s Core Groups:
-
One mandatory meeting per month
-
High confidentiality and trust among peers
-
EOS-certified coach to guide accountability and growth

Access to a private Slack channel with group members, facilitators, and the wider Fabric community

Running a profitable print shop is difficult and often isolating. Fabric helps owners regain clarity, set achievable goals, and grow revenue sustainably—without having to navigate it alone.
Applications for the third cohort close on October 1. Don’t miss your chance to join this proven program and connect with like-minded leaders ready to scale.
