Hey Friends, this week on Consuming Careers, I want to introduce you to a man who's taken a simple, everyday thing, like firewood, and turned it into a luxury experience. His name is Leroy Hite, the visionary founder of Cutting Edge Firewood. From their hub in Atlanta, Georgia, Cutting Edge Firewood delivers kiln dried firewood to thousands of customers all over our nation. For over a decade-and-a-half, Leroy has been on a relentless pursuit to transform the ordinary into the extraordinary: to provide his clientele with a world class fire experience. It all began with a dream: to revolutionize the firewood industry; an ambitious goal that has now evolved into an international success. His mission? To ensure that his customers enjoy the same superior experience with firewood as they do with their other luxury products and services. But, as with any trailblazing entrepreneur, Leroy's journey has been paved with sleepless nights, grit and sacrifices.
So, let's jump into my conversation with Leroy, as we discover how he's making firewood sexy..
