Scott has been in this industry for a while. Since the early 90’s he has been renovating homes, building furniture, being a TV personality, and basically involved in every part of the furniture business you can think of.


Over the years, along with honing his craft, he has also honed the type of business he wants to run - moving from general contractor to custom furniture maker.


That switch has come not only with a different way he builds furniture, but also a different way he operates his company. 


Follow along as we talk about the importance of saying no, what being on a tv show gives you, pricing for things that don’t exist yet, and much more.
