ABOUT: Tim Reed is the Retail Sales Leader at Fireside Home Solutions in the Pacific Northwest where he helps his team members make it so stupidly easy to buy from them that there is no excuse not to. Starting as individual salesperson in an empty warehouse, he has grown Fireside’s Retail division by millions (after cutting his marketing budget by 90%). Tim has been invited all over the country to teach companies how to market effectively to their customers and sell more than ever before. His YouTube videos, sales blog, and “Fire Time Podcast” have become a resource for the industry and are actively helping thousands of people rethink their paradigms so that they can grow their businesses in the changing landscape. Tim learned “just enough to be dangerous” about sales, marketing, web development, and leadership from years of playing guitar in a failing punk band—which he swears has uniquely qualified him for his job today. Now considered one of the most innovative minds and compelling communicators in the industry, Tim uses his platform to serve others, helping them create clear messages that are wildly compelling to their audiences. Tim lives in Portland, Oregon with his wife, Jessica, two children, Olivia and Luke, and his 90 pound Golden Retriever, Walter. He still plays guitar in a failing punk band.

    Kurt Rumens - Don't Wait to Get Picked (Live from the 2026 HPBExpo)
    Mar 31 2026
    "Don't blame the other guy. Take responsibility for it. And I think there's so much that can be done." In this episode, Tim sits down with Kurt Rumens (President, Travis Industries and founder of Lopi Stoves) at the HPBExpo in New Orleans. Kurt shares the unlikely journey from rock-and-roll drummer turned truck driver to building one of the hearth industry's most beloved companies over the past 39 years. In this episode, Tim and Kurt cover: • How getting rejected by two companies in one day crystallized Kurt's decision to become a stove manufacturer—despite having zero welding or engineering experience • Why hiring people with a "servant's heart" has created Travis Industries' legendary dealer loyalty and family-like culture across generations • Kurt's philosophy that fear of not doing enough drives innovation, from drawing inspiration in the Sistine Chapel to spotting fireplace ideas at P.F. Chang's Don't miss Kurt's insights on protecting specialty retailers in an Amazon world and why authentic relationships—not marketing studies—remain the foundation of building something that lasts. —— Links from this episode: Kurt Rumens Travis Industries Link (https://www.travisindustries.com/) WhyFire Link - https://whyfire.com —— Watch this podcast on YouTube: https://youtu.be/Fnx_LIjIfwY Listen on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-fire-time-podcast/id1433804268 Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4vHdzg48bE5qFf0KjMeMej?si=7b6cae3923d348f2 Read The Fire Time Magazine: https://www.itsfiretime.com/magazine Subscribe to The Fire Time Magazine: https://itsfiretime.com/subscribe Support The Fire Time Podcast financially: https://www.itsfiretime.com/join

    Stop Quoting. Start Selling (Live from the 2026 HPBExpo)
    Mar 24 2026
    Welcome to Season 16 of The Fire Time Podcast—and for the first time ever, we're on video. To kick things off, Tim steps in for Gideon Honeycutt at the 2026 HPBExpo to teach a session on breaking free from the quote trap—the costly cycle where salespeople fail to show customers why a product uniquely solves their problem and get reduced to handing out numbers. What follows is a masterclass in three deceptively simple steps that can fundamentally transform how your team sells. In this episode, Tim covers: Why most salespeople accidentally turn their products into commodities—and how a customer intake form flips the script by uncovering the real problem before you ever show a product. How adopting a documented company sales process turns your team from clerks flying by the seat of their pants into consultants who guide customers toward a decision with confidence. Why establishing a next step with every single quote is the difference between "let me know" and actually closing the sale—and how appropriate pressure is a gift to your customers, not a burden. Don't miss this no-nonsense kickoff to Season 16 that proves the basics aren't basic at all—because the companies that master these three steps don't just close more sales, they give their customers an experience worth coming back for. —— Watch this podcast on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-oBrCc-NWHaFtu_b51D-jpNXu8jJDX2v To hear more audio articles from our magazine, subscribe to the Fire Time Magazine Podcast: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.itsfiretime.com/magazine⁠⁠⁠ Subscribe to The Fire Time Magazine: ⁠⁠⁠https://itsfiretime.com⁠⁠⁠/subscribe Support The Fire Time Podcast financially: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.itsfiretime.com/join WhyFire Fireplace AI Visualizer: https://whyfire.com
