What does it really take to build a business in the hobby?

On this episode of Passion to Profession, I sit down with my good friend Chris McGill, CEO and Co-Founder of Card Ladder. You’ve heard Chris on Stacking Slabs more than anyone else, but this time we go deeper into the business side of his story.

We talk about:

  • The decision to walk away from law and go all-in on the hobby
  • How content became the backbone of Card Ladder’s growth
  • The role of trust, community, and timing when building in a niche market
  • Why the line between product and content in the hobby is thinner than most people think
  • The importance of surrounding yourself with the right team

If you’ve ever thought about turning your passion for collecting into something bigger, this conversation will resonate.

A special thank you to eBay for sponsoring Passion to Profession. The biggest and best marketplace to buy your next favorite trading card.
