We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Ensign Jeppson a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

Ensign , appreciate you joining us today. What’s the backstory behind how you came up with the idea for your business?

My business, how it is now didn’t start as a business at all. My passion for woodworking came from my Grandpa. He had a workshop on his ranch in Colorado. He would let me go look at his different trees on his property, study their smells, grains, colors, characteristics. After selecting a tree I like he would help me cut it down and let me use his workshop to create anything I’d like.

After growing up woodworking turned into fun, not a job. I’m excited to see how each project displays its woods characteristics, how it smells, what’s its purpose. I wanted to create a way for others that love woodcraft to have a peice they are excited about, to be in their place.

My small custom business JeppsonWoodworking I started is to do just that. Have others come with their ideas and I create it for them

Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.

If you are like me and search the internet for days trying to find the perfect idea for your next look. JeppsonWoodworking helps make that idea a reality. I stand behind my work. I do everything I can to make it exactly how you picture in your head with progress updates, color choices, anything needed to make you feel your getting the products you deserve.

How did you build your audience on social media?

My brother’s are great examples to me. They helped show me how using all the free marketing websites, Facebook market place, ksl, etsy and many more that can help get your business name out there.

Let’s talk about resilience next – do you have a story you can share with us?

When first starting any business you are going to fail at that business. What makes a successful business is sticking with your passion and learning from your mistakes. I say this from experience.

When I started JeppsonWoodworking I had to get thousands of dollars worth of equipment. The company made beans to by tool’s but I kept going and doing what I had a passion for anyway. Even to day JeppsonWoodworking has profitable days and not profitable days, but I love what I do and keep trying.
