Show Notes
Our guests for today’s podcast are Christian and Lauren of Big Sky Dry located in Missoula, Montana. Currently, Lauren works full time in advertising as a copywriter, which she says helps their new business a lot, while Christian works at Big Sky Dry full time as they grow their company.
When asked how they started their business, Christian mentioned how three years ago, he was working with his dad brokering financing for logging equipment and people within that industry. At that time, one of his customers came up to him and inquired about financing an iDRY kiln, which neither Christian or his dad had heard of. His father then got in touch with Jim Parker of iDRY, and they began helping customers with financing. This was their first real exposure to wood drying, and after conversations with Jim, they went to Vermont and saw how the kilns were made.
Lauren recognized that people kept wanting to get more and more of these kilns and needed financing for their second and third ones. By that point, with each financing sale, Christian ended up selling themselves on the idea and they realized that a kiln might work well for them.
