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 Mlecki, 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 in episode 53. We've got an interview today with a master custom woodworker,

Jory Brigham. And he's a self-made woodworker who's created a name for himself with a unique style and an amazing design and craftsmanship. He talks with us about his journey to find his niche,

how he keeps his passion for woodworking alive,

and his love-hate relationship with walnut ping pong tables.

With features in apartment therapy,

architect magazine, and Forbes magazine,

Jory has quickly become a major influence

in the woodworking and furniture community.

Winning the Spike TV show Framework in

2015, Jory showed off his incredible eye for design and his talent for creation. He has a custom

line of his own furniture now and has classes available to the everyday man and woman who want to

build just like him. And before we get started in with this interview, we want to thank some of our new patrons this week.

We had Zach Peterson and Rich 17 Designs.
