Guest: Doc Wright

Doc is the Founder and Master Craftsman at The Wright Edge, a custom furniture maker that creates massive, 100% handmade live edge tables and artwork for hotels, businesses, and anyone looking for a distinctive statement piece for their home.

Their creative work has recently attracted a lot of interest from the woodworking industry, and Fortune 500 companies, including The Ritz Carlton, Marriott Hotels, Tesla, Toyota, and AIG, are among their list of clientele.

They have also designed specific pieces for world-famous rock stars and major sports athletes such as Mat Fraser (5-time Crossfit Games Champ) and Cole Hamels (2008 World Series MVP).

Like many entrepreneurs, Doc had a career in corporate America but left his 9-to-5 when he found custom woodworking as a way to escape the monotony and stress of his daily grind as an oil geologist.

His decision to take the risk of leaving a secure and well-paying job to follow his passion for woodworking paid off. In less than four years, Doc was able to grow his company from his backyard and garage into a market leader in the high-end custom live edge craftsmanship industry, bringing in over seven figures in revenue annually.
