Our first episode since returning from the Calgary Renovation Show where we recorded a few live episodes on the main stage. We discuss some of the behind the scenes in this episode, including everything from Alberta beef to the venue itself. We had such a fun experience creating these episodes and are excited to hopefully bring you more and more live episodes in the future.

The boys are heading to Calgary to speak on the main stage and record a few live episodes of the podcast. We discuss puppy yoga and of course we are going to watch a hockey game while we are there! You don't want to miss our first episode of the 2025!!

We are back with another episode.  Do not miss this year's final episode as we are joined by our guest host Eric Spencley from @Spencleydesignco.  Eric is a content creator, YouTuber, woodworker and an avid scuba diver. Eric talks all about why YouTube is the main social media platform that you need to get into, if you are looking to make the most money.  He also tells us how to pick the best thumbnail picture and why changing your video title after a few weeks may not be the worst idea.  The boys also explain why dry walling should be left to the professionals and why re-shooting content is such a pain in the butt.  You will leave this episode laughing like a foghorn, guaranteed.

This week we dive right into one of our longest episodes ever. They say time flies when you're having fun and man did we have fun chatting with Thomas Gojkovich, the 1/4 Serbian owner and operator of Thomas Custom Woodworks. Thomas has built up a social media empire well into the hundreds of thousands of followers and subs across his social media platforms, and he did it all from a small one car garage workshop. Thomas also knows all about the Etsy reviews policy and we discuss how Vik deals with his negative reviews.

Thank You for tuning in. You can find out more about Thomas here:
