In this episode of Raise The Grade Podcast, I sit down with Chris from Telluride Natural Stone, a long-time player in the industry who’s seen it all, from the early days of the stone veneer market to where it stands today. Chris shares his journey, starting from a small town in Connecticut and making his way to Arizona, all while building an impressive career in the landscape supply business. We dive into everything from the importance of educating contractors and clients about quality materials to the fun (and sometimes frustrating) aspects of working with stone. Chris also touches on how his relationships, both with contractors and former colleagues, have shaped his career and kept him passionate about what he does.This episode isn’t just about stone veneer; it’s about relationships, personal growth, and raising the grade on quality work. Whether you’re in the landscape business or simply a homeowner looking to learn about the difference between a “Chuck in a truck” and true craftsmanship, this conversation offers valuable insights. Tune in and get inspired to step up your game on and off the job site.Key Moments:0:01 Introduction & Background of Chris7:50 What Sets Telluride Apart13:15 Quality vs. Chuck in a Truck20:00 Partnerships with Industry Leaders41:40 Custom Cutting Services54:00 Challenges of Running a BusinessGet in touch with Chris:Website - telluridenaturalstone.comInstagram - @telluridestonewoodbrickSend us a text
