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 92, and we're continuing to branch out with the makers on our show, and today we're going to talk with another artist but in a different medium.

And Jenny Bauer runs a custom engraving business where she specializes in her own style of embellishment on basically anything made from metal.

From old tape measures to custom handplanes, she's been making unique pieces of art for her customers.

And she got her start somewhat by happenstance trying to support her husband's clock making.

But she's grown Bauer engraving into a full-fledged business with a huge demand.

And she shares with us today how she got there. Yeah, Jen has been a

huge inspiration to the Instagram community since she came on the scene. With over 70,000

followers, she showcases her incredible talent on a daily basis, and she also shows off her

unbelievable fearlessness of tackling basically any project she puts her mind to. Whether

it's dabbling and woodworking or showing off her drawing skills, Brad and I absolutely love her content, her positive attitude, and we had a blast having her on the show. Yeah, before we hop in, we do want to remind you, time is running out to register for spring makes.
