In this episode of The Riley Black Project, John and Crystal record from two different states while juggling real life, real business, and everything in between.
But this episode isn’t just a life update…
We’re joined by Sumita & Anuj to break down UV Ink Fest, a brand-new virtual conference designed to bring real education to makers—without the need to travel.
We dive into:
• Why UV Ink Fest was created and who it’s for
• The growing demand for UV printing education
• Brand-neutral learning and why it matters in the maker space
• The difference between entry-level vs production UV printers
• How UV printing expands what you can offer your customers
This episode is part real-life chaos, part business strategy, and part “this is what entrepreneurship actually looks like.”
If you’re a maker, engraver, or small business owner, this one is packed with insights you can apply immediately.
