Advice Line with Joe Kudla of Vuori

About this episode

Vuori founder Joe Kudla joins Guy on the Advice Line, where they work through business challenges with three early-stage founders.

Today we meet Laurie, a Florida-based physician with savings to invest back into her fashionable scrubs company. Then Brendan, who wants to bring his Irish handbags to the American luxury market. And Steve in Colorado, who’s exploring wholesale opportunities for his colorful skins for ski gloves.
