Every Word Matters
We created PepTalk to bring back what matters most - confidence, connection, and community through conversation.
More than Apparel. A Movement.
We started PepTalk because words matter. They can spark courage, create connection, and shift lives. That’s why every design is intentional, every phrase is a conversation starter. And with 10% of profits given back to community charities, every purchase drives real change where it’s needed most.

Two friends. One vision. To bring back meaningful conversations.
Pepe Ianniello – Co-Founder
A serial entrepreneur with a background in construction, retail and design, Pepe thrives on merging creativity with purpose. For him, PepTalk is more than apparel. It’s a way to use design as a vehicle for empowerment, helping people connect, grow, and lead through intentional conversations.
Matt Clayton – Co-Founder
After three decades in the construction industry, Matt knows the value of hard work and straight talk. What drives him is the belief that the world needs better conversations, ones that create understanding, build confidence, and lead to real change. PepTalk is his way of pushing for that better world.
