What's Your Problem?Ben Christensen is the co-founder and CEO of Cambium, the largest seller of salvaged wood in America. Ben's problem is this: How can we turn the trees that are falling to the ground all around us, into usable wood?
In this episode, Ben explains:
- Why so much wood goes unused
- Why Cambium created demand before building the supply chain
- How building a data layer across the fragmented lumber industry reduces waste
- Why salvaged wood can compete on price with conventional lumber
- The best mantra to use 80 miles into an ultramarathon
