Ep. 50: Owner and Operator of Dave’s Signs, Eric Rhoten: How He Became the Bob Ross of Wood Carving - a podcast by Grit Player Services

How the f**k did Eric Rhoten know exactly what he wanted to do at just the ripe old age of 10? Today we’re talking with Eric about his entrepreneurial journey that started with him and his dad creating custom wood signs at county fairs. Eric’s story is unique for our show in that he’s been working at the same place since he was a kid: Dave’s Signs. His father, the company’s namesake, started the business in 1970, but since his retirement in 1997, Eric has been at the helm. He’s continually innovated and kept the company thriving with savvy moves like buying the domain makeawoodsign.com and building out a YouTube channel with over 38,000 subscribers. Today, Eric is still the owner and operator of Dave’s custom carved signs. So how did Eric become a partner at Dave’s Signs at just 16 years old? And how does Kari Pearce fit into all of this?
