While Clint Harp is now known as Chip and Joanna Gaines’s go-to table maker on Fixer Upper and a nationally acclaimed artisan, his life has not always been the DIY dream we see on the show. Ten years ago, he played the role of what he thought was a good husband, father, and provider, dutifully working at a sales job that came with a healthy paycheck. Yet he kept coming back to his unfilled dream of building furniture. With the support of his wife, the encouragement of a mentor, and a life full of lessons, he finally took the leap, quit his job and set out on a quest to become a carpenter.

Fun, inspiring, and practical! Couldn’t stop listening.
If you watched their new show on Netflix, you already love the McGees for their down to earth nature and beautiful, timeless, yet unique and fresh style. This book is a story of their journey, with raw moments as well as funny stories, all centered around practical and specific design and business tips (I appreciated the specificity here!). I truly loved getting the peek behind the curtain and found it inspiring, interesting, fun and very well written - I couldn’t stop listening and finished it in just a few days! Highly recommend for anyone interested in design, entrepreneurship, or just a fun and inspiring story!

Amazing book about entrepreneurship
I loved this book. A story beautifully told about the struggles of starting a new business and the insane drive required to become successful in both work and life. As an aspiring entrepreneur everyone always tells you “you need to hustle” or “you need to be willing to sacrifice for your business” and it’s hard to know what that means, but this book does a wonderful job at actually making those struggles tangible and relatable. When I saw the cover of this book I thought “Aw a cute couple in business together”, but after reading- damn. Syd and Shea really pull back the curtain and show you that they didn’t just stumble into the empire they built, there was so much business genius and forethought into every one of their moves that led them to where they are today. I was a huge fan of studio McGee’s work before reading this book, but now I’m super in love with their whole business and the founders. Well written guys keep kicking ass!

Fascinating account of their business growth
I love Shea and Syd's style and their Netflix show, so was very interested to hear their story from the beginning. They make it all seem so easy on the Netflix show, but this gives you an insight into the hard work, risk taking and dedication which has gone into getting to where they are now. They narrate it perfectly and are very honest and open about their initial self doubt (especially Shea), struggles with the business and sometimes even their relationship.
I only wish we could buy Studio McGee products in the UK!

A wonderful insight into the personal journey of a brand
An engaging and easy listen to the personal journey of Shea & Syd as they grew their brand. Invaluable & encouraging listening to anyone building a business as they share their journey with honesty & refreshing vulnerability.
Both useful from a business perspective for those hoping to be inspired by their path as a personal testimonial and lessons learnt, right through to just being a great story on the journey of a couple building their family while following their dream.
Both Syd & Shea make for clear & articulate listening & have a refreshing transparency about their journey. The mix of both voices & perspectives lends a welcome variety and keeps the story moving at an easy pace.

Just just an overnight success
As a fellow interior designer I love to hear the stories and the 10 years to become an “overnight success”
It is refreshing to hear the ups and downs, the highs and the lows and eventually living the dream that the studio has beacons to date.
As a husband and wife team they have lived and breathed the brand and created the design bison for the company and their lives.
It’s good to know that they have had horrid months, been maxed to their eyeballs and that they have overcome each and every challenge !
I am inspired by their vision and unlimited belief that they could create a company so large!
Well done, congratulations and all the beat for the next chapter!!

Design of kindness
A refreshing and inspiring account of a family creating something beautiful with style, wit and kindness. I couldn't stop listening and find myself wanting to take the Mcgee family for coffee to talk design, family and business.

Beautiful from beginning to end
This book was more than I expected! I’ve been a fan of the McGee team for a few years now and loved watching their Netflix series. It was a great insight into their portfolio of works and a sneak peek into their family life. BUT THE BOOK WAS PHENOMENAL. Going back in time with Syd and Shea to where it all began was a treasure. They didn’t hold back with the challenges they faced and it made me love them even more. Prepare to laugh, cry and learn from this inspirational duo. It’s a book you’ll read again and again, reflecting on their experiences from work project to home project 💛
