Transforming Spaces and Lives: The Story of a Mother-Daughter Shed Empire in Corsicana

Every family has its stories, and in our latest episode, we're unpacking the tale of Lauren Galia and her daughter Tamara, a mother-daughter duo who've taken the shed industry by storm in Corsicana, Texas. Their transition from dog training to the creation of Angus Portable Buildings, and Tamara's architectural prowess, has not just reshaped their lives but also the backyards and pastures of their community. Dig into the roots of their partnership with Derksen and discover how their innovative sheds—from cozy she-sheds to robust animal shelters—are making a mark in the agricultural landscape of Corsicana, a town with deep oil roots and a bright future.

Imagine selling more than just a product, but rather a service laced with human connection—this is the essence of the shed business according to our guests. As the pandemic reared its head, Lauren and Tamara's early adoption of DocuSign and online sales platforms ensured that their growth didn't just survive but thrived. In this conversation, we peel back the layers on the strategies that have bolstered their business, the emotional intelligence required in sales, and how an architectural background, coupled with a knack for digital marketing, has catapulted their sheds into the spotlight.

'Tis the season for giving, and this episode wraps up with the warmth of community spirit as we recount the Christmas tree giveaway initiative that brought joy to Corsicana's' homes. But the gift-giving doesn't end there; our discussion branches out to the newest additions like Derksen's chicken coops and portable decks, which are feeding the DIY culture and sustainable living trends. So, tune in for an episode that goes beyond the beams and nails, and into the stories of people, the emotional touchpoints of sales, and the innovative designs that are transforming spaces into sanctuaries.
