## Resource

On this episode Buddy sits down with Alex Bailey of Alex B Carpentry, LLC a former office manager who walked away from the desk to build things that actually matter to people every day. Alex now specializes in human-centered custom carpentry — cabinetry, millwork, and retrofit solutions designed around how clients live in their homes, not just how rooms "should" look on paper. He brings a rare mix of craftsmanship, consulting, and problem-solving that general contractors and homeowners trust when the project requires precision, empathy, and zero do-overs. When Alex launched his business in 2020, he chose to put purple — the color for domestic-violence awareness — on his shirt and business card in honor of his friend Nikki, who defended herself from an abusive partner and was then aggressively prosecuted in what advocates call "criminalized survival." She spent years jailed, denied fair evidence, and ultimately sentenced, while Alex and others showed up in court as a sea of purple to support her. After a long appeals fight under a new NY domestic-abuse sentencing law, she was finally released and is rebuilding her life. Alex keeps wearing purple as a form of ongoing awareness — not because he believes it fixes the issue, but because silence is worse, and visibility is at least a first step.
