In this special crossover episode, we’re rebroadcasting our recent appearance on Get Real with Rick Dancer. Rick flips the script and interviews us about how Lumber Slingers started, why we’re so passionate about changing the narrative around timber, and what it looks like to build a people-first culture at Patrick Lumber Company.

We talk about everything from making lumber “sexy” again and attracting new talent to the industry, to friendship in leadership, networking without being cringe, and why listening and authenticity matter more than ever. If you’re curious about the Truth About Timber, how modern mills really operate, or what it’s like to help run a growing lumber company, this one’s for you.
