Summary: Dave Dawson started The Urban Electric Company as a small retail business in 2002—it’s since grown into a powerhouse of modern American craftsmanship, employing over 200 to make a wide array of custom lighting fixtures, all in a former navy yard in Charleston, South Carolina. In this episode of the Business of Home podcast, Dawson chats with host Dennis Scully about the challenges of manufacturing in America, why he’s never sold in showrooms, and how time has become his company’s most valuable resource. This episode is sponsored by Universal Furniture.
