MFP 114: Building Systems with Mike Farrington

Today we’re talking with a guy who’s been working the trades his whole life. Mike Farrington cut his teeth in construction working his way through school. And after a quick stint working a desk job he went back to his love for building. He’s built a successful custom woodworking business over the last 15 years and in the past 2 years has branched out to YouTube. Mike talks with us today about how setting up systems has helped his workflow, how he deals with tire kicking customers, and his approach for getting deals on tools.

Mike has easily become one of John’s personal favorite YouTubers as he’s a master of his craft and of his own brand. With his channel recently surpassing 100k subscribers he’s well worth checking out. He continues to grow his channel and show off some super impressive skills. I am personally always impressed with anyone who can balance making content along with handling a custom work load. This was quite an enjoyable conversation!
