Description

In this episode of All Things Wood Floor, host Stephen Diggins welcomes legendary wood floor pro and trainer Daniel Boone. A direct descendant of the iconic frontiersman, Daniel shares his own pioneering journey—from running an edger at age 12 in the family wood floor business to training wood flooring pros across continents. With a life steeped in the wood flooring trade since childhood, Daniel reflects on how a simple piece of two-and-a-quarter flooring became his passport to the world. He discusses his hands-on teaching philosophy, the evolution of flooring education and how he's tried to make a positive impact on the thousands of people he's trained in the industry. This is Part 1 of a two-part episode.
