Key Takeaways

1. Tracy and Trent turned their love of Mahjong, leatherwork, themed parties, and creative accessories into a growing business built around the game.

2. Great tablescapes can be affordable, personal, practical, and fun, with tile readability and a mat that slides staying high on the priority list.

3. Tournament rules still matter, especially during the Charleston. A player cannot be called dead before East officially begins the game.

4. Mahjong has become a major part of Trent’s leather business, with most of his custom work now connected to mats, tile bags, card pouches, and player accessories.

5. Working, playing, and building a Mahjong business together takes humor, shared effort, and a willingness to let one more tile set, mat, or party idea into the house.

The Mahj Salon is where Mahjong players come for the stories and stay for the opinions. It is a show for people who care how other players shuffle, stack, and score. Hosted by Mahjong Meets Moxie’s Jennifer Hohman and Cathy Herrington, it sounds like the table talk you wish you had recorded. Fast, funny, and frank, each episode digs into pet peeves, tile choices, money at the table, and the growing business of Mahjong. Some topics feel small. Some feel huge. All of them feel like conversations you have after a long night of play.
