420 - Adam Hoover - Somehow Furniture Found Me
Adam Hoover began his journey in the furniture industry while in college, buying and selling vintage pieces from his dorm room. In 2011 he founded Main Street Modern, how one of the country’s largest mid-century modern furniture showrooms, located in Canton, Ohio. Two years ago, Adam acquired Laubacher Upholstery (now Ohio Workroom), a thriving 10-person workroom. With a degree in financial service management and minors in entrepreneurship, real estate, international business, and communication, Adam is currently creating an all-in-one design and restoration showroom in a 100-year-old building in downtown Canton, putting both businesses under one roof.

Customer Reviews
Comradery
My workroom routine always involves listening to my podcasts. The Sew Much More Podcast is of course, at the top of my list. 😊
Hearing the conversations of other workroom owners provides a ‘kinship’ of sorts.
Our experiences are shared by others, both good and not so good. These stories are motivating, like that feeling we have attending the CWC conference or CHF conference in the past. Ceil provides us with a taste of that excitement of meeting our counterparts.
I enjoy learning about the road taken by others in our business. How they have made it to where they are now and what their plans are for their future. It helps me map out my goals, knowing what has and has not worked.
Thank you Ceil for a podcast well done!

This Podcast is my new essential tool!
Listening to Ceil talk with various entrepreneurs in this industry and hearing all about how they got their start, what struggles they’ve had, what successes they’ve had, and what advice they can give to others has definitely been one of the best things I’ve discovered recently. I’ve operated my own workroom for 23 years, and I can identify with so many of these experiences, but also have gained a sense of direction for my future from listening. Thank you, Ceil, for doing this!
Feels like community
Working as a solo upholsterer can be so isolating, but listening to The Sew Much More podcast makes me feel like I’m in a room with my peers. At some point in every episode I find myself agreeing out loud with something a guest is saying 😅I look forward to every episode.
