From small shop owners to thousand-cabinet-a-day giants, this podcast dives into real conversations with the people who shape our industry—machine dealers, techs, franchisees, vendors, and more. Everyone’s got a story, and we’re here to share them—the highs, the lows, and everything in between. It’s about connection, growth, and the roller coaster we all ride. Tune in, get inspired, and maybe even find a bit of yourself in someone else’s journey.
In this episode, Nic Frost chats with Dino Kouros — second-generation woodworker and founder of Kouros Tools — about his journey from the family cabinetry business to launching a brand built on innovation, craftsmanship, and a love for problem-solving. They talk shop about custom tools, woodworking challenges, and the creative leap into 3D printing.
Dino shares how customer feedback, in-house production, and social media have helped grow his business, and why direct relationships matter more than flashy marketing. If you're into craftsmanship, entrepreneurship, or just love a good story about building something from the ground up, this one's for you.
