How Minnesota Closets Started with One Social Media Post
Ken discusses his unique career transition from recruiting software engineers in Silicon Valley to building custom closets in Minnesota after a period of unemployment.
Ken explains the significant impacts on his recruitment business due to COVID-19 and subsequent economic shifts, which led him to temporarily close his recruitment shop in 2022 and ultimately start a custom closet business.
He shares the challenges and learning curve associated with his new venture, from his first DIY closet project to launching 'Closets by Ken' and later rebranding to 'Minnesota Closets.' Ken emphasizes a client-focused approach with transparent pricing and no high-pressure sales tactics, aiming to bring calm and organization to clients' lives.
He highlights the importance of committing to a new path and learning on the go.
The episode finishes with insights into how listeners can plan and start their own physical product business.
