How do you go from doing something simple to jumping into business ownership? What does it take to transform a small business into something bigger than yourself? Jonathan Goolsby has been customizing anything he could get his hands on for over twenty years, starting at home in the garage and then as the head painter for the local Chevrolet dealership for over twelve years. During that time, genuine friendships were born, and many custom cars were built for a growing customer base. At about the same time, Goolsby Customs was able to foster collaboration between many high-profile builds and supporting industry sponsors, resulting in numerous magazine features and covers and several SEMA show builds. In late 2004, the allure of owning a business and the vision to elevate the quality of custom car craftsmanship inspired Jonathan and Vonda Goolsby to take the leap and open Goolsby Customs. For the past fifteen years, they have worked with their talented family of employees to build a solid customer base that is growing every day, along with a level of excellence that is hard to find in this industry. Today you'll hear the story directly from the guy who knows it best.

How do you stand out from the crowd? What makes people think of you when competing with a dozen other people who are doing the same thing? Our guest has managed to do both! Even when people don't always remember his name, they surely remember the guy with the green mohawk, the man behind Kentucky's premier hot rod shop, Sewn Tight Custom Interiors! Shane Lile owns and operates Sewn Tight Custom Interiors. He worked for ten years in corporate America before quitting to open his custom auto shop and grow that mohawk that has become a part of his identity. His wife, Jessica, helps him run the shop. They work hard but do fun things together, like drag racing! Can you believe it?

No singular entity, brand, or product is more vital to the auto interior trade than https://www.thehogring.com/ (The Hog Ring) (THR). It is the central hub for industry news. More than just a source for jobs or a breeding ground for vendors, THR is the galvanizing force to the auto interior industry. The driving force behind this fantastic community is the dynamic Muaddi Brothers – Nadeem and Naseem.  Naseem owns and operates the Delaware County Auto Upholstery, while Nadeem spearheads THR, owing from his 15 years of online media experience, including managing teams of editors, reporters, and producers at CNN Digital's award-winning national news team. NC Shop Talk welcomes the Muaddi Brothers for an informative and entertaining conversation.  “The whole point about The Hog Ring is not about making ad dollars or money. We can't talk about someone's products or services genuinely and with authority unless we like their products or were using them ourselves in our shop.” - Nadeem Muaddi “To keep getting better, I enjoy looking at what's going on in other parts of the world.” - Naseem Muaddi In This Episode: Nadeem talks about the idea behind THR. How to effectively run a machine shop and THR at the same time.   Trimmers are exceptional artisans, but they don't usually earn enough money from their craft. Let's hear Nadeem's thoughts about this.  Is there anything about THR that frustrates the brothers? Naseem talks about their work,  where his passion comes from, and how he hones his craft. Naseem names which craftsmen he would choose as inspiration for his “robotrimmer.”  The Muaddi Brothers share their vision for THR (it would be really cool to have a TV show!)
