This week I’m hanging out with my friend Ian Craven, owner and maker behind Phoenix Tool Works.

We’ll talk about how Ian got into making knives and tools, what goes into building his signature Impact pry bar, and the challenges of turning an idea into something you can actually put into someone’s hands.

But Ian isn’t just spending time in the workshop. He’s also working toward competing in powerlifting, so we’ll get into his training, strength goals, balancing the gym with running a business, and probably whatever other rabbit holes we stumble into along the way.

Tools. Powerlifting. Small business. Coffee. Donuts.

Sounds like a Sunday morning.
