Interviews & Insights from Wood Industry Experts

Each week, we interview makers, sawyers, influencers, and six and seven figure entrepreneurs that know the wood industry inside and out. With topics covering everything from the Urban Lumber Movement, to sustainable sourcing and design, we’ll discuss the ins and outs of how to grow, monetize, and fully immerse yourself in the Woodpreneur Lifestyle. Whether you’re a hobbyist, a full-time wood business owner, or a part-time entrepreneur who wants to become an influencer or quit their day job to pursue their dreams, the Woodpreneur Podcast is for you.
