Jason Bent
Here at Henry Leonard Co., we value a quality made product, love getting the word out about it, and then, bringing those stories to our community members. Once I spoke with Jason and saw his work, I became enamored with his story. I knew we had to connect him with our community.
Like many of us, Jason has always had a love for woodworking, but a winding path to get there. Luckily, we were able to get him to share his story on our blog. Below is a little bit of contribution.

- SOCIAL MEDIA INSPIRATION -
If you're interested in finding a couple of accounts that are creating innovative and inspirational content, then look no further. Here are a few accounts that we are watching!
@jennikowal
A friend of ours, Jenni Kowal, is on the move! She launched her business, Anytime Creative, and is selling postcards from her trip across the country. Not only can you watch her trek across the country, but you can have a little piece of it. The postcards will feature photos she hasn't taken yet and will be accompanied by personalized notes. It doesn't hurt that she takes amazing pictures. Go check her out!
@mcculloughlandscape
We love the exceptional landscaping pictures and advice provided by McCullough's account. We try our best with our landscape, but we definitely don't have the green thumb needed. Take a look at this account and show them some support.
