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 104.

And today we're talking with a guy who's been playing the long game in woodworking content.

George von derisca is the managing editor of Woodworkers Guild of America.

And he's been helping grow that site and provide high quality video content tutorials.

He's also been contributing to basically every other woodworking magazine out there.

And today we're going to talk to George about how the woodworking content scene has changed over time and the impact of social media on his content.

Yeah, even though the Woodworkers Guild of America started in 2007, Georgia's been putting out content since at least 1998, writing for major woodworking magazines like Brad stated,

some of those being fine woodworking, American Woodworker and Wood Magazine, and producing

VHS woodworking tapes going all the way back to 99. With over 130 DVDs and hundreds of

hours of online videos and content, George's had his hand in the woodworking content space for

quite a long time. And not to mention, he's an author and also makes and sells custom woodworking

on top of everything else he's got going on.

Now, we are really excited to talk with George today.

Before we get into that, we do want to thank a new patron that we had, sign up.
