Passion to Profession: Going All-In with Chris McGill from Card Ladder
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.
