Passion to Profession: Building WeTheHobby — From Collector to CEO with Zach Stanley

/ ABOUT THIS EPISODE
What does it take to go from collector to company builder?
In this episode of Passion to Profession, I sit down with Zach Stanley, CEO and Founder of WeTheHobby.
Zach didn’t stumble into this.
He built it from inside the hobby.
We talk about:
- The shift from collecting cards to building a business
- Why trust is the foundation of everything in the hobby
- The realities of operating in a market driven by hype, speed, and attention
- What it looks like to create something that collectors rely on
You’ll hear how Zach thinks about long-term positioning in a space that often rewards short-term moves.
You’ll also hear the pressure that comes with it.
This is a conversation about building something real in the hobby.
Not chasing moments. Building systems.
If you’ve ever thought about turning your passion into your profession, this one will hit.
