A Legacy of Cabinetmaking Software: The Roger Taylor Story
In Episode 3 of Mozaik Unhinged, we sit down with Roger Taylor, the pioneer behind both Cabinet Vision and Mozaik Software, for an unfiltered look at the legacy that shaped our industry. From the origins of names like Planit and Solid to the pivotal decisions that transformed a simple concept into a global platform, Roger’s story is one of vision, innovation, and humility. Recorded on his golf course in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, this conversation explores how a mathematician with a woodworking background became a marketing genius decades ahead of his time, coining phrases like screen to machine and distributing demo videos long before social media existed. More than a tale of software, it’s a story of insight, perseverance, and the impact one man’s foresight continues to have on woodworking shops worldwide.

From Sanding Doors to Shaping the Future
In Episode 2 of Mozaik Unhinged, we sit down with Michael Dunphy, VP of Mozaik Software, for an engaging journey from sawdust to software leadership. From growing up in a cabinetmaking family to becoming Mozaik's 20th customer, Michael shares the story of his father's shop burning down in 2013 and how it led to his deeper involvement with the company. Learning directly from founder Roger Taylor, Michael embraced the philosophy that "simplicity sells software" - a principle that still guides Mozaik today as it serves over 10,000 users worldwide. Through personal anecdotes and technical insights, Michael reveals the newest features in V14, discusses the challenges of software development, and shares his vision for Mozaik's global future following the 2022 Cyncly acquisition.
