The only way to hear the still small voice is to slow down. Of course, that’s easier said then done, like most worthy goals. In this episode we talk to a master craftsman about the process, the journey and the joy.

In this episode we learn:

  • a slower approach to the creative process can yield surprising results and allow you to see and know more
  • consider and appreciate your origin story
  • maybe it’s time to use all the colors in the crayon box again
  • sometimes it’s good to just make a decision, regardless of whether it’s right or wrong
  • supporting and appreciating local artisans and craftspeople is good for all of us
  • perfection is an illusion; let that s^#t go
  • tell clients the story of special objects—how they are made and info about the artist

Don’t let anyone else hold your star. Make things happen for YOU.
