Welcome to Made for Profit, a podcast where we talk business in the shop and help you monetize as a maker.

Each week we cover business topics to help you grow your full-time business or your side hustle.

We'll also bring you interviews from a variety of people winning in their space to share valuable business insights and life lessons.

I'm Brad Rodriguez, a full-time content creator running Fix This Build That.com.

And my co-host, John Mulecki, runs a full-time furniture company and his content site,

John Mellecki.com.

We've been growing our successful businesses online, and we want to bring you into the conversation

and help you grow along with us.

Welcome to episode 49.

Today we're finishing the trifecta of interviews with the Modern Maker podcast hosts.

We're talking with Chris Salimony from Four Eyes Furniture.

And Chris talks with us about working the side hustle with a full-time job and two young kids and why he stopped doing custom

furniture commissions. He also goes into how he's built an amazing tribe on Patreon that supports

his work. With only 62 video posts in over 9 million views, Chris has accumulated 235,000

YouTube subscribers. He also has an amazing tribe of nearly 750 patrons on Patreon, and in our

opinion is one of the best storytellers in the maker community. Absolutely. We're excited to give you

guys this interview, but before we do, we wanted to thank some folks that joined the Patreon

tribe over there. We had Justin Kiel, Joshua Tito Wilson, and Paul Pest. Thank you guys so much for joining the tribe.

If you'd like to be part of that, you can head over to patreon.com forward slash made for profit
