How To Perfect and Convert A Craft into A Business 101 with Dan Paulson

This week, Dan Paulson joins us to talk about his path in the construction industry, his relationship with the school and formal education, and his first steps in the trades, literally, from the ground up. 


After high school, Dan quickly realized the school wasn't a place for him, at least not at that time. Then he started working in the trades, but his drive to constantly challenge and improve himself led him to finish school and become a mechanical engineer while working full time. 


He is the Owner of Commercial Doors, Frames & Hardware; he has over 25 years of experience in commercial building construction, working for projects in every industry and ranging up to $500M.


In this episode, we go through Dan's fantastic career in the industry and his passion for not only changing the landscape and the skyline but also for changing people's lives with his work. We delve into the more challenging parts of Dan's journey, having faced losing his money, savings, and job at once. 


We also discuss why he decided to go back to school, his favorite parts of the industry, and what it can provide, and he shares his thoughts on the importance of guidance and counseling for young kids thinking of their future. 


Some Questions I Ask:

  • You went to Drexel University. Did you finish school? (2:26)
  • How did you and your wife get into Commercial Doors, Frames, and Hardware? (11:13)
