Like many entrepreneurs, Mike Dalle Molle and Jordan Gurren started out working for someone else.  Although they loved the work, they felt like there was not a lot of creative freedom. They had to do what they were told. After receiving a lucky break where a local restaurant asked them to design a shelving unit, which led to designing an entire restaurant, they leapt at the chance to start their own custom furniture business. They were only 23 and 24 years-old at the time.  Now, less than three years later, they have a 6,500 square foot facility with 8 people on staff, cranking out amazing furniture every day. For such young men, they have a lot of perspective and a ton of drive. On this latest episode of Small Business War Stories, we take a deep dive into how they got their start, how they learned and adapted along the way, and what the future holds for Goodwood NOLA.
