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 88. Now today we're talking with another creative maker and a true artist in our field, John Peters. He's a unique combination of a painter and a woodworker.

And John talks with us about owning his own art gallery before moving his business online

and finding YouTube

while trying to share his videos with family and friends. He shares some awesome insights from being

a brick and mortar business owner and transitioning into a digital world. Yeah, John has been one of

the accounts that I've been following forever on YouTube. So having on the show was hugely nostalgic

for me. With over 420,000 subscribers

and a staggering 656 uploads, John has been putting the work in for over nine years on YouTube

alone and has been a staple in the maker community for a long, long time. Yeah, lots of great

insights. Really looking forward to this episode for you guys.

But before we get into it, we want to thank some of the new members that joined the MFP Tribe this week. We had Dick Hampton, Ann Exahorn, and Karen LaVarnway back in the MFP tribe. Thank you so much, guys, for joining. And Anne, hopefully I got that name right. That was a tricky one. If you do want to support the show and get some awesome rewards,

you can head over to patreon.com forward slash made for profit.

We have a weekly after show as well as some other things that you can check out over there. But without further ado, here's our interview with John Peters.

All right, guys, welcome back to another interview.

We are excited to have one of the Godfathers on the YouTube woodworking scene.
