The Handcrafted Podcast: The Business of making things · How to Be Better Than Everyone Else · 3 Aug 2026 podcast

And again, for us, another part of that was like custom furniture for us is like actually doing custom things that are like made and doing the shop drawings and all that sort of stuff.

So yeah.

I think one thing, and again, like I always say on this podcast, I try to leave you with questions to reflect upon, not necessarily answers.

But I think the question you should ask yourself is, aside from improving the actual product, the actual thing that I'm making, what other step are you able to improve that's going to make the business so much better?

What are the things that your competitors aren't willing to do?

What are the things that other people aren't thinking about, right?

Taxi would have never came up with the idea of an app and like people following it around because somebody was able to look at it from the outside and create a whole new world around this.

So the point that Uber basically is taxi now, right?

Uber and Lyft is what basically that is.

And with Will back to Unreasonable Hospitality, what he was able to do was just make the littlest thing that everyone overlooked.

All these other restaurants like, hey, we'll just make a big vat of coffee and it's fine.

Will goes, no, we're going to make the best coffees this way.

It's also part of the experience.

So trying to figure out what these little tweaks are you can do within your business.

I love to brainstorm these ideas with people.

I think they're super fun.

So if you're interested in brainstorming with me, Paul at TheHandcraftedNetwork.com.

You can send me an email there and we can get in touch.

All right, guys, hopefully this one was helpful.

Hopefully it leaves you thinking about something through the week.
