Independent Supply Podcast
Rundoo presents
Independent Supply
For the owners, operators, and future-builders of independent supply stores across America. For the owners who built it themselves.
About the Show
Built by independents, for independents
The independent supply store is the most important business in town, and the best independents are modernizing without losing what makes them special. Each episode sits down with the people living that story, across hardware, paint, lumber, farm & feed, and lawn & garden, to talk about the real work: serving contractors, buying smarter, keeping accounts current, hiring good people, and deciding where technology should help without getting in the way.
We never tell you to go buy anything. We tell you what the smartest store owners are doing to upgrade how they run their business, and we let you take it from there.

Your Host
The person behind the mic
Nick spends most of his weeks talking with independent store owners about how they actually run the counter, the yard, and the back office. He brings those conversations to the mic so the rest of the industry can listen in.
Before Rundoo, Nick spent years embedded with the independent supply channel learning what the best operators do differently. That perspective shapes every episode: real conversations with real owners, zero filler.

Independence in print
Independent Supply is also a monthly print magazine for independent supply store owners across every vertical, with cover profiles, the numbers behind the industry, and practical playbooks from operators who are figuring it out.
The podcast and the magazine share one belief: independence is worth celebrating, and worth modernizing.
