Learning to start and run a small business is a skilled trade
In the second of our two-part episode with Adam Heffner, the owner and founder of Nashville-area shop Maker Table Metal continues his conversation with The Fabricator Podcast live at FABTECH 2022 in Atlanta. Heffner talks about wanting to create more locally-focused large-scale art installations, breaking ground on a bigger shop, and emphasizes why it's important for tradespeople aspiring to own a small business to learn the ins-and-outs of starting and running a business. Check out Part 1.
"Before you make the jump, study business. It's another trade. It's the same as metalwork, millwork, or plumbing It's a trade. You have to learn the business trade."
