Today we’d like to introduce you to Tracy Wilson.
Hi Tracy, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
Wilson Carpet Repair started the same way many honest businesses do, out of necessity and pride in doing good work.
I’ve spent years working hands on in flooring and carpet repair, learning the trade from the ground up. Early on, I noticed something that stuck with me: homeowners didn’t just need carpet fixed, they needed someone they could trust to show up, be straight with them, and do the job right the first time.
So I built Wilson Carpet Repair around those values.
No upselling.
No shortcuts.
No disappearing after the job is done.
Over time, word-of-mouth did what good work always does, it spread. One repair turned into another, and before long, Wilson Carpet Repair became the go-to solution for homeowners who wanted honest repairs instead of full replacements they didn’t need.
Today, we specialize in precise carpet repairs, patches, stretching, seam fixes, and damage restoration. We focus on saving customers money, extending the life of their carpet, and leaving homes better than we found them.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Like most small, hands-on businesses, the early days came with real struggles. Learning how to balance skilled trade work with running a business was a big one. Doing great repairs is only half the job—figuring out scheduling, pricing, customer expectations, and consistency takes time, mistakes, and humility.
There were slow periods where work wasn’t guaranteed, times when equipment failed at the worst moment, and moments where saying yes to the wrong jobs or no to the right ones cost money and energy. Building trust in a crowded market—especially when many customers have been burned by unreliable contractors—was another uphill climb.
There’s also the physical side of the work. Carpet repair is demanding, detailed labor. It requires patience, problem, solving, and showing up ready even when the job isn’t easy or predictable.
But those struggles shaped how Wilson Carpet Repair operates today. They taught us to be selective, transparent, and disciplined. We learned that long-term success comes from consistency, not shortcuts, and from treating every home like it matters, because it does.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
At Wilson Carpet Repair, the core of my work is simple: building systems that solve real problems—practical, human problems that are often ignored or overcomplicated.
I started in hands-on trades and small business, working directly in people’s homes. That experience taught me something early and permanently: solutions only matter if they work in the real world, under real conditions, with real consequences. Carpet doesn’t care about theory—and neither do customers. That mindset became the foundation of Wilson Carpet Repair and everything that followed.
Wilson Carpet Repair is where I learned discipline, problem-solving, accountability, and trust. It’s where systems had to be efficient, honest, and repeatable—or they failed. That real-world testing ground shaped how I think, build, and lead.
From that foundation, my work expanded into several interconnected efforts:
MycoGrid Organization grew out of the same problem-solving mindset—focused on humanitarian and environmental innovation, exploring mycelium-based systems for energy, water, and resilience in underserved or disaster-impacted communities.
MycoGrid Technologies exists to responsibly develop and scale those discoveries so they can move beyond experiments and into practical, deployable solutions.
GamerZDojo Foundation addresses another real-world gap I encountered—teen mental health, suicide prevention, and emotional regulation—using gaming as a safe and familiar entry point to teach skills most kids never receive elsewhere.
GamerZDojo bridges gaming and real-world growth, helping kids and families turn screen time into connection, discipline, and opportunity instead of isolation.
IPxEngine ties it all together—an intent-driven framework built from lived experience that helps turn observation, trade knowledge, and community insight into structured ideas, systems, and intellectual property.
What I’m most proud of isn’t any single project. It’s that all of this traces back to real work, real people, and real constraints. None of these efforts were born from theory or trend-chasing—they exist because a real gap was encountered while doing honest work.
What sets my work apart is integration. These aren’t siloed ventures. The discipline of trades informs technology. Community work informs design. Mental health informs leadership. Everything is tested against the same question that built Wilson Carpet Repair:
Does this actually help people where they are?
If the answer is no, it gets rebuilt.
We’d love to hear about any fond memories you have from when you were growing up?
