The Best Advice I Got on Social Media Was From Kip Simon

@22Fresh on Twitter in 2012

When I first started in social media years and years ago Twitter was the big emerging platform. Many people listened on Twitter, few participated. One of those local people who was talking to people on Twitter was Kip Simon or better known as the company he founded, @22Fresh. In 2012 I even interview Kip on the Podcast I used to do, here that episode here: Regina’s Great Bambino.

What started as a small sports brand that made baseball players look good in a uniform would grow into a behemoth that has had superstar athletes wearing the shirts, hats and pants of a new generation.

22 Fresh has always been “cool”

They once did a Twitter themed shirt with hashtags all over it. They’ve always printed on high quality materials and designed in a way that makes people say, Daaaaammmmnnnnn (in your best Will Smith voice). Because its “cool” and printed on high quality material you would assume it costs more than the average clothing purchase, but it’s not outrageous like some boutique clothing brands. 22Fresh is still very affordable to the washed up weekend athlete.

One day scrolling through Twitter I saw some angry little elf called out 22Fresh on Twitter for being over priced and not worth it. Having a lot of respect for Kip I DM’d him on Twitter asking if he saw the Tweet and what on Earth he was going to do about it!! His answer blew my mind and would help me at a time when I was frightfully worried about what other people thought about me.

“Jeph, do you honestly think I have time to worry about what the haters are saying? I have more important things to do.”

Wow. I never saw it coming. How brilliant. Why would you worry about what other people say? Why would you read a message from a stranger and take it to heart? Kip didn’t. He was doing the important work of growing the company.

I don’t think I’ve ever openly thanked him for that moment, so thanks Kip!! Much appreciated!

If you’re doing important work you’re bound to run into people who dislike you for whatever reason be it jealously, insecurity, or ignorance. Stop listening to what people you don’t care about say, Kip didn’t listen to those people and look where he is today.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The Stratlab team has been fantastic. In the last 2 years Stratlab has helped us to overhaul our website.  I am not a tech person, but in working with Carter, Dustin, or Brandon, bit-by-bit we've been able to revolutionize our Events Guide from what it previously was. With pretty much every idea I've had, some I didn't even know if they were technically possible, these wizards have found a way to make them happen. They are also usually super quick to make requested changes or fix any weirdness that may arise.
We've had one of the best-looking and most user-friendy tourism Events Guides in the country that even our residents are getting excited about using!
You can tell these guys are passionate about their work and care about getting their customers exactly what they need & want. I'm sad that I'll no longer be working with this crew due to transitioning to another department at work, but I highly recommend the Strat Lab team for any web design project 👍👍

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently had the privilege of working with Brandon at StratLab, and the quality of his work is truly next‑level. After one quick call to share my vision for a bat demo video, he understood exactly what I needed, and delivered something far beyond what I imagined.

His attention to detail, creative precision, and top‑tier expertise show what real professionalism looks like. Every frame, every transition, every moment was crafted with intention. He respected timelines, communicated clearly, and made the entire process effortless.

I can only hope to work with Brandon again.
