    Brad Robison, Founder of Teufel Hunden Customs

    In this episode of the Huntsville Hustle Podcast, host Joe Martin sits down with Brad Robison, founder of Teufel Hunden Customs, to talk about entrepreneurship, creativity, 3D printing, and turning an unexpected hobby into a growing Huntsville business. Brad's journey into 3D printing in Huntsville, Alabama started during COVID, when he found himself at home with his young son and looking for a creative outlet. What started as something to pass the time quickly turned into something much bigger. Today, Teufel Hunden Customs produces professional custom 3D-printed creations ranging from large-scale sculptures and functional parts to projects you probably never imagined could be 3D printed. One of those projects? Creating a custom train model of The Orion Amphitheater for Rod Stewart. Brad also shares how his background in the United States Marine Corps shaped the way he approaches entrepreneurship, problem-solving and adversity. His philosophy is simple: treat everything like a moving target. When circumstances change, you adjust, pivot and keep moving forward. Joe and Brad also discuss the difference between hobby-level and professional 3D printing, Brad's work creating adaptive equipment, including mobility solutions for children, and why some of his most meaningful projects aren't necessarily the biggest ones. In this episode: How Brad discovered 3D printing during COVIDTurning a hobby into Teufel Hunden CustomsBuilding a small business in Huntsville, AlabamaProfessional and large-scale 3D printingCreating an Orion Amphitheater model for Rod StewartUsing 3D printing to solve real-world problemsBrad's work on adaptive and mobility equipmentHow the Marine Corps prepared Brad for entrepreneurshipLearning to pivot when things don't go according to planThe creativity and problem-solving behind custom fabricationHuntsville's growing community of makers, creators and entrepreneursBrad Robison's story is a great example of what Huntsville Hustle is all about: Huntsville entrepreneurs taking an idea, putting in the work, figuring things out along the way, and creating something uniquely their own.

    Serial Entrepreneur Jade Greene and Season 2 of Nextville

    In this week's episode, we sit down with Jade Greene, a multi-faceted entrepreneur and cast member of Nextville, a reality show spotlighting Huntsville's vibrant business scene. Jade shares her journey through the ups and downs of entrepreneurship and the community that supports her along the way. Jade's venture into the beauty industry was somewhat serendipitous. "The beauty bar thing, if I'm honest, it kind of fell in my lap," she explains. With her background as a celebrity wardrobe stylist, she found an opportunity when a friend needed help running her beauty bar. Jade's family stepped in to support her, showcasing the power of collaboration and community in entrepreneurship. Jade’s mother has been her rock throughout this journey, always supporting her ideas, no matter how ambitious. Together, they transformed a space into a thriving beauty bar, highlighting the importance of family and teamwork in business. After nearly two years in the beauty industry, Jade is considering a pivot back to fashion. "I think I'm gonna go completely fashion," she shares, reflecting on her previous success with an online clothing store. With plans for a brick-and-mortar store in a high-traffic area, Jade is ready to embrace new challenges. As a wardrobe stylist, Jade emphasizes the importance of understanding her clients. "First, we have a full-blown consultation. You want to get to know your client and what they like." This approach not only enhances her clients' styles but also builds their confidence. Jade's involvement in Nextville was driven by a desire to showcase the stories of black entrepreneurs in Huntsville. "It's showing business life, but it's also showing real people, real everyday life running businesses," she explains. This show is not just about glamor; it's about the challenges and triumphs faced by women in business. The show aims to inspire viewers by highlighting diverse stories and real-life challenges, proving that entrepreneurship is within reach for everyone. Tune in to Nextville on August 23rd at 7 PM on YouTube to see Jade and her fellow entrepreneurs in action.
