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 Malecki.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 122.

Man, 2019 has been a whirlwind.

We've had awesome opportunities and a lot of new beginnings for John and I.

And the biggest, of course, was John getting married.

Congratulations once again, John.

But also this year, my wife, Susan, came on full-time with Fix This Bill that. John brought on a full-time editor and Sam, and we've both taken on a load

of new work and opportunities that have had us traveling, getting involved in new business planning

ideas, and all kinds of other stuff. On top of that, John is going through a full house remodel

and looking at buying another property to do some more remodeling and a bunch of other crazy stuff. But yeah, anyway, lots and lots of stuff. So basically what I'm getting at here, we need a break. We've got six or seven weeks that left in the year, and we need to finish strong with our businesses. But don't worry,

we will be taking a break, but we'll come back in 2020. And today what we wanted to do is just

kind of recap where we've been for 2019 and give you guys some good episodes, especially for

new listeners. If you've not gone back and listened to some of the past archives, we're just

going to kind of talk about some of the things that have really resonated with the audience and also a little bit of the social media side. So we will go through all of that today and then take a little break. Yeah, we definitely don't want to leave you guys hanging going into the end of the year. And another person that doesn't want to leave you guys hanging, or should

I say another business that doesn't want to leave you hanging is Woodcraft. Woodcraft is our channel
