    Building a Legacy with David Shaw

    What does it take to build a business that lasts nearly 50 years? In our very first episode of The Last Makers, David Shaw shares the honest story behind one of New Zealand's longest-standing furniture manufacturers. From taking risks before he felt ready to navigating economic uncertainty, changing design trends, and an ever-evolving industry, David reflects on the decisions that shaped both the business and the person he became. This conversation is about feeling the fear and doing it anyway. It's about resilience, backing yourself when the path isn't clear, and understanding that longevity isn't built on never failing—it's built on continuing to show up. Whether you're building a business, leading a team, or simply navigating your own next chapter, David's wisdom is a reminder that courage isn't the absence of fear; it's choosing to move forward despite it. This is where The Last Makers begins.
