Chad Coll of C.S. Spoon & Co. is doing what a lot of us in construction have done — turning a hobby into a business.
And the path? It’s almost too familiar.
This wasn’t some calculated move chasing market share — “let me go grab 5% or 10% of the spoon market.”
Nope. Life unfolded… and Chad stumbled into a niche that gave him purpose, allowed him to support his family, and actually be present — not stuck on-call, running a maintenance grind.
There’s something real about that.
Chad’s story hit home for me. It’s a reminder that not everything has to be forced or over-engineered… sometimes you’ve got to roll with it and see where it leads.
Maybe something better is waiting on the other side of that.
Hope you enjoy this one as much as I did.
