"Coffee Talk" (S2E5) Jun 28, 2021

In this final episode of Season Two, I had a looooong conversation with entrepreneur and coffee maven Sarah Barnett Gill, also known as Mama Mocha. She has been a friend of mine for longer than I can remember, and I have watched her build a small coffee empire, guided by her principles of excellence, determination, and love. Come for the laughs and southern wit, stay for the inspirational nuggets.

"2020 Vision" (S1E7) FINALE Dec 31, 2020

It's our SEASON FINALE! We did it! One whole season of crafty goodness behind us, and right before the new year! I decided the best way to charge boldly forward was to look back at this past year, and focus on all the ways we grew as a community of incredible makers. There are over a DOZEN guests on this season finale, and I can't wait for you to hear from them!

If you haven't already, be sure to leave a review of this podcast (ideally a positive one). Podcasts with higher reviews get more visibility, so that would help me out a whole bunch.

Thanks y'all! See you in SEASON 2!

"Jello Molds and Decoupage" (S1E5) Dec 04, 2020

In this episode we go on location (socially distanced, of course) to chat with an art director and designer in her natural habitat: a tapas bar. Joyce Lai and I chat about every kind of art under the sun... and perhaps have one too many Spanish vermouths.
