E31 Blending Music and Working With Your Hands with Cory Reynolds

Working Towards Our Purpose

Cory gave one of his custom built guitars to one of his favorite bands after a show.

In this episode I sit down with Cory Reynolds, the founder and owner of CRC Guitars, who shares his inspiring journey of turning his passion for music and woodworking into a business. We discuss the challenges teaching yourself how to build a guitar, the impact of human connection has on his craft, and the importance of doing work that involves the things you love. From his humble beginnings, to his plans for the future, Cory's story is a testament to the power of self-belief and determination. Join us as we delve into the world of guitar building and the pursuit of purpose!

Bio: Cory Reynolds spent years working in construction before finding himself in a job of a different industry he didn't enjoy very much. This pushed him to search for something more. After thinking about his two passions, music and working with his hands, he decided to teach himself how to build a guitar. After the first failed guitar, he had a friend buy the parts so he could build his second, and he's been building guitars for people ever since. Cory has blended his passion for working with his hands and his love for music with his business CRC Guitars.
