160 _ Building On The Bad with Suzi McAfee owner of Monarch Woodworx

On this episode I sit down with Suzi McAfee, owner of Monarch Woodworx. If you want to hear the full story behind how Monarch Woodworx got started, check out the show archives - episode 159

That story, and the unexpected results that followed is what this episode is about.
