In product sourcing, only 3% of apparel is made in the US, dropping from over 50% since 1993. It is harder and harder to find high-quality, affordable apparel that is sourced and made in the United States. Dean Wegner founded Authentically American from the desire to give business owners, charity leaders, and great Americans access to top-quality, American-made apparel to represent their company. In this episode, Dean shares his background as a Veteran and why he started the business, what he has learned throughout his journey, and how he leads from his values to continue innovating, iterating, and providing great products. Uncle Sam’s Secret Sauce is hosted by Rafael Marrero, Founder and CEO of Rafael Marrero & Company, which helps small companies do business with the world’s biggest customer: the U.S. Federal Government.
