I am so excited to share this first guest interview in the history of UnCommie Goods. I loved doing this show, and learned a lot. I bet you’ll love it too, even if you’re not into chalking up your hands to lift some heavy weights! I love this company’s story and am a huge fan of their products which I use daily. The guest for this episode of UnCommie Goods is James Hobson, Founder and CEO of Spider Chalk, the only 100% American source for chalk. This is block, powder, or liquid chalk for getting a good grip on anything you need it for, such as weightlifting, gymnastics, rock climbing, pole dancing, and even some sports I never heard of before! I had a problem. The gyms were closed due to the pandemic. As a gym rat, I needed to workout. All I had was my 50 lb kettlebell. After 15 to 20 kettlebell swings, my hands get sweaty and I was pretty sure the 50lbs of iron would slip out of my hand and break my apartment. No problem, I just need some chalk. But does a liquid chalk exist? Yes! and I found some online! The first liquid chalk I bought (not from SpiderChalk) to solve that problem was made in China. I didn’t know that until I received it. I was annoyed, and determined to find an American manufacturer of chalk. Spider Chalk was my savior. After talking to my guest, i agree with his statement “I hope it encourages other entrepreneurs to take a leap of faith into manufacturing here in the USA.” It certainly requires persistence and never giving up.
