R.I.P. To LRG Co-Founder Jonas Bevacqua

RIP to Jonas Bevacqua, the Co-Founder of the popular clothing company lifestyle brand LRG. This successful entrepreneur  literally took his brand from a cool streetwear clothing brand to the top of the lifestyle brand food chain through heavy involvement of content media, music, sports, skateboarding, and entertainment while still building their brand as clothing designers. I’ve read some good interviews on Jonas in the past and definitely use his story as inspiration to continue to build businesses in this world we live in. He’s Googleable, so go ahead and Google them if you want to learn a thing or two about growing a small business into a cultural enterprise.
