Jason Watson is a for-real serial entrepreneur. His career reads like a highlight reel of reinvention: He started in business development at American Woodmark and Bridgeway Media before founding Dublin Dog in 2006. He eventually sold that to Remington Outdoor Company in 2012. There, he launched RK9, a division building specialized canine products for law enforcement and defense.
In 2018, he founded @reconk9, developing K9 products for military and federal agencies, while simultaneously becoming SVP of Sales and Business Development and a Partner at @cltdogwizard
Jason has built brands, sold them, rebuilt them, and given back — all while staying remarkably consistent about the one thing he clearly loves most: dogs.

@trentsbailey is the co-founder of @parwalker , a Charlotte-based startup that makes premium accessories designed specifically for walking golfers. Trent spent years in the marketing world — at NASCAR, at Ingersoll Rand, at Club Car, and most recently as Digital Marketing Director at Training The Street. He knows brands. He knows products. And apparently, he also knows what it`s like to be out on the course with a cold drink that won`t stay cold and a golf bag that wasn`t built for someone on foot.
ParWalker launched in May 2026, and Trent is right in the thick of building a brand from the ground up, in a category that`s having a real moment, as more and more golfers rediscover the joy of walking the course.

Welcome back to The BrandBuilders Podcast. Today’s guest is someone who’s living proof that family businesses, done right, can outlast and outperform just about anything.
@skip.norris.14 is the President of @thebuildingcenterinc , one of the largest privately held lumber and building products companies in the United States. The company was founded in Charlotte in 1977 by his father, Ed Norris. And what started as a single building supply operation has grown into a vertically integrated powerhouse with lumberyards, truss plants, custom millwork operations, and door shops all across the Carolinas. We’re talking over 400 employees, a fleet of trucks that’s the largest in the Carolinas, and more than a dozen locations stretching from Boone all the way down to the South Carolina coast.
What makes this story especially interesting is how Skip has grown a business that his father built while keeping the values that made it worth growing in the first place.

Nothing brings people together like giving back. ❤️🍳🥪
Our team had an incredible morning volunteering at @rmhclt alongside our friends at @networkwithbuilt. We had the privilege of cooking breakfast and packing lunches for the families staying at the House, helping provide a little comfort during a challenging time.
Thank you to Ronald McDonald House of Charlotte for all you do to support families, and to Carolina Built for partnering with us to make a difference. We`re grateful for the opportunity to serve our community together.
