09: Smith McAulay | Crafting your Dream Home: How an Artist Made it Big in the Custom Home Development Space Summary

In today’s show of Epic Entrepreneurs, we talk to Smith McAulay of WSM Crafts who shares his life story, his home design philosophy, and how he manages to strike a balance between the artistic and commercial.

Smith identifies himself as an “artist and a tinkerer” rather than a hard-nosed businessman. Majoring in Arts has equipped Smith with a unique perspective which shows up in the high-end custom projects that WSM Craft takes up.

Back in 2005, Smith started off by building patios and decks. In 2008, he executed his first big project by building a $950,000 spec house. 

In today’s show, you will learn about Smith’s unique design philosophy, and why he prefers to take up end-to-end design-build projects even though they are logistical nightmares. 

Smith ran into Bill when he was rapidly scaling up his business and admittedly flying off the seat of his pants. Listeners will learn how Action Coach helped Smith systemize operations so that he could scale up his business in a sustainable manner.

Enjoy!
