Episode 72 - Unpacking Disgust: How what you HATE reveals what you VALUE. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Why spend time examining—or even physically making—"BAD ART"? Is there something to be learned by making BAD ART? Jack kicks off the discussion with her signature college assignment: forcing students to imagine, write about, and physically build the worst piece of art possible to locate their personal "origin of disgust". The trio digs into what it means to experience true artistic disgust—not just mild disliking, but a visceral, blood-boiling reaction to work you feel shouldn't exist or be cons
Episode 71 - What YOUR work says about YOU and LIFE (w/ Jordan Coons) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The things we make are not simply objects, but symbols of who WE ARE and WHAT WE OBSERVE in life. This week we sit down with our first ceramicist guest ever, Jordan Koons — potter and educator, to figure out what the things we make are trying to tell us about life and ourselves.

Read excerpt
How can we be creative when we don't know what the final goal looks like? This is OFTEN the case when we work in teams on collaborate projects, be it at work or in craft. How do we know if what we've produced is good enough? Erik and our esteemed guest, FARMER NICK (a wonderful landscape architect, environmentalist, farmer, husband, and all around beautiful human) talk about how they had to be creative on demand in their netflix show while not knowing exactly how thing would turn out in the end.
Episode 68 - Trouble GETTING STARTED on something? This episode is for YOU! (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We've all been there: Bought the tool, watched the videos, bookmarked the plans. Organized the shop one more time. And somehow the actual PROJECT never happens. This episode is about the INTENTION-BEHAVIOR GAP — the well-documented, deeply human tendency to plan, prep, and research without ACTUALLY DOING THE THING. Is preparation even really about the work? Or is it about avoiding the risk and uncomfortable feelings of finding out the work won't be perfect or we're not good at something in the b
