This show is dedicated to talking with people about building their furniture brand. It’s no secret, it’s right there in the title.


And for anyone who has ever tried to build a business they know that the start of it, putting the foundation of the business together, is a very important part of that process.


Drew and his co owner Valen are in the midst of that process. Although they have been running their business for years, they still feel like they need to put in more time sculpting what it will look like before going full time.


Unfortunately Valen was pulled away at the last minute but Drew was able to sit down

and talk about their business, and what they are doing to make the jump to full-time.


Follow along as we talk about scheduling 2 full-time jobs, building a portfolio by turning down projects, the benefits of working with a partner, and much more.
