In this episode, I sit down with Drew Gulick, president and CEO of Hermann Oak Leather, to talk about what makes great leather truly great. As the fifth-generation owner of one of the most respected tanneries in the industry, Drew gives us a behind-the-scenes look at the quality, care, and tanning process that have made Hermann Oak a trusted name among leather crafters for generations.

But this conversation goes far beyond leather. We also dig into the business principles, generational leadership, and strong foundation that have allowed Hermann Oak to continue growing and serving makers for more than a century. Whether you are a beginning leather crafter trying to understand better materials or a business owner wanting to build something that lasts, this episode is packed with insight on craftsmanship, consistency, and building a business the right way.
