In this episode, I sit down with Ray Gutoski, a longtime friend and trusted industry partner of more than 15 years. Ray has spent most of his career supplying resinous materials and supporting contractors with real-world experience in application methods and specification guidance.

We talk openly about his journey in the industry, what he’s learned along the way, and his perspective on where the resinous flooring market is headed. It’s a grounded conversation about experience, evolution, and what really matters as the industry continues to grow.

In this short episode, we talk with James Hardman, owner of Gudalii and a serial entrepreneur, about what he’s focused on today, how business has treated him along the way, and the lessons he’s learned building multiple ventures.

James also shares straightforward advice for new entrepreneurs getting started and navigating the early challenges of business.

Quick, honest, and to the point — perfect for a short listen.
