Great episode. I was really intrigued by several FastCap videos of their current washroom standards, and thought ‘I wish I could do that, but I’m so far from that high level standard’. But your washroom video with the ‘before’ footage, looking like any washroom, made me say ‘I can do that, and enjoy doing it like this crew!’ Got up immediately to work and have enjoyed a clean space ever since. If we can tackle the washroom, its a springboard to tackle anything else. Thanks for sharing -Kendra

Question for a Future Episode. I’m a small (one man, 725sqft three car detached garage) custom furniture and cabinet shop. My work varies from dog crates, to live edge tables, to custom kitchen cabinets. I’ve pivoted my business many times based on the changing market, but I’ve never been able to get over the hump of being a one-man-show. I find myself in the position of needing a skilled helper, but unable to provide a 40hr a week paycheck, so a quality skilled worker goes to where he can get 40hrs at the rate he deserves. How do I get over that hump to grow my business into a real business instead of having a glorified job? I could go on but I’ve rambled enough. Thank you.

I’m can instantly tell you what you need to do. It’s so simple, u won’t believe me. “Find a problem, solve it” and focus on that ONLY. Doesn’t matter if it’s dog houses, tables , wall clocks …. Anything !!! Then sell that one thing. May take u some time to figure out what to do. But when u hit it… Go for gold.

Man I am only 15 minutes in but really enjoying this... Have watched your videos for a long time it is nice to learn more about the man behind the operation... We all have complicated stories! Would love to connect more with folks in this industry... I know everyone points to AWI but I'm not sure if I'll find what I'm looking for there. Maybe I'll just start uploading videos and see if I can make some connections that way.
