$300, a Vision, and No Backup Plan, The Born Scum Story with Shea & Shaina | Ep.145
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
On this episode of One Gang Worldwide, we sit down with Shea and Shaina, the founders of Born Scum, to talk about how they built a DIY motorcycle and counterculture brand from just $300.
Born Scum grew from a small run of shirts sold on Instagram into a recognized name in motorcycle culture, skate culture, tattoo culture, and hardcore streetwear. Shea and Shaina share their story of growing up in Bakersfield, dealing with homelessness and hard times early in life, reconnecting, and building a business together from the ground up.
We get into how they stayed self-funded, why they brought screen printing in-house, how they built a loyal audience organically, what running a business as a couple really looks like, and why their bike giveaways mean so much to the people who follow the brand.
If you’re into motorcycle lifestyle brands, DIY business stories, streetwear, custom bike culture, or building a brand without loans or investors, this episode is packed with value.
