Allan Rosenthal of Linear Fine Woodworking in Scottsdale, Arizona

<p>The third-generation woodworker has spent the last 32 years building on the foundation his grandfather, a master woodworker from Europe, began prior to World War II.</p><p>Allan’s family business is a legacy defined by faith, gumption, and relentless perseverance: The elder Rosenthal, a tie salesman, was dragged into woodworking by Allan’s grandfather. Not long after, he became a Holocaust survivor who lost his entire family. Eventually, he immigrated to New York where Allan was raised until making the move to Arizona in 1990.</p><p>Allan says that if it weren’t for his father getting into the business, “he would have died working in the fields like everyone else.”</p><p>Today, Allan leads a team of 35 at Linear Fine Woodworking and is a Phoenix Home & Garden Master of the Southwest.</p><p><strong>Topics Discussed: </strong></p><ul><li>[06:16] Allan’s background</li><li>[11:38] How Allan finds his ultra-high-net-worth clients</li><li>[15:28] Investing half-a-million dollars in equipment and hiring the best</li><li>[22:23] Training his builders and architects</li><li>[28:47] Allan’s thoughts on the supply chain issue</li><li>[37:54] The importance of working with the right people on your team</li><li>[40:51] How Allan’s family history shaped him and the legacy he wants to leave</li><li>[51:58] Allan’s role as a mentor to his kids</li><li>[58:42] How Allan stays focused on his projects and his standout jobs</li><li>[1:07:38] How the next five years look for Allan</li></ul><p><strong>Connect with Guest:</strong></p><ul><li>Website: <a href="https://www.linearfinewoodworking.com/" target="_blank">https://www.linearfinewoodworking.com/</a></li><li>Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/linearfinewoodworking/" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/linearfinewoodworking/</a></li><li>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/linearfinewoodworking/" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/linearfinewoodworking/</a></li><li>Pinterest: <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/linearfww/_created/" target="_blank">
