Niles - Maine Urban Timber Company

Give the classes, marketing and social media a try. They’re really worth it, a hundred percent worth the money, and worth your time. You won't regret it.

Avery - Wild Edge Woodcraft

I think it's really valuable the advice you gave about sort of understanding where your audience hangs out and where they spend their time.

Brian & Sabrina - Old Mountain Woodworking

We left feeling like our brains were very full and there's a lot to discuss. It’s like going to Thanksgiving dinner and having a seven-course meal. That's our brains.
