Episode 20: Finding Balance with Taylor English of Tailored Design + Decked by Tailored

In this episode, I catch up with Taylor English to explore the real-world dilemmas many small firms face. We discuss whether chasing “big” jobs is really worth it, or if multiple smaller projects can be more profitable. Taylor also shares how he separates his love for the craft from the need to run a sustainable business—without sacrificing his passion.

Taylor doesn’t just think about these ideas; he’s putting them into practice. By focusing on one or two flagship renovations each year and layering in 10–15 deck projects, he’s found a balance that lets him hone his business and marketing while still enjoying the work.

If you’ve ever wondered how to balance creativity, service, and profitability, you’ll enjoy this conversation with Taylor English.
