30 Years in Lumber: Chad Frehley's Path to Pacific Wood Tech

Meet Chad Furley, whose 30-year journey through lumber, windows, packaging, and engineered wood products led him to become Pacific Wood Tech's outdoor living specialist. In this first hour, Chad shares his path starting with a paper route at age 8 in Nebraska, running cross country in high school, and attending trade school where 98% job placement was guaranteed, not something you get with a four-year degree. You'll hear about his time managing 40 employees at Menards, selling Pella windows to architects and landing a $2 million dorm project by simply fixing a homeowner's service issues, and his decade in the packaging industry where he built businesses from $200k to over $1.4 million. Chad also shares the story of getting fired and immediately taking $1.6 million in clients with him, proving that relationships matter more than company loyalty when you treat customers right. This conversation covers entrepreneurship, sales mastery, and the power of building genuine relationships in business. Whether you're in sales, construction, or just appreciate stories about building your way to success, Chad's journey offers valuable lessons about persistence and customer service.
