When life threw curveballs at Hayden Rankin, he didn't just catch them—he turned them into a thriving business that's as much about spreading faith as it is about spreading ink on T-shirts. Our latest Createur Podcast episode features this Olivet graduate and mastermind behind NiceShirt Thanks LLC, who shares a tale that's not your ordinary rags-to-riches story.
