    Work Less, Live More - The Swedish Maker

    We live in a world of things. A consumerist black hole.  It’s been proven that Consumerism forces people to work harder, borrow more and spend less time with loved ones. It gets in the way of fulfilling relationships and negatively affects our overall well-being. But we are all doing this dance

    So how do we change the music.

    My guest today Pierre, The Swedish Maker has thrown his dreams of an iPhone 13 and dusted off his gramophone. In the effort to stop his consumerist life crisis and start enjoying quality family time and the freedom working less and living more.

    In this episode

    Pierre shares with us the steps taken towards so far his dreams of living a simple country life

    We delve into Pierre’s life crisis.

    We talk about the positives and negative around uprooting your life to pursue a dream

    The importance of having the support from your partner

    We look into the things you could cut down on to help you pursue a similar dream.

    Innovation = Staying Relevant - Barnaby Dixon

    Innovation = Staying Relevant - Barnaby Dixon

    Innovating is about staying relevant. Our world is constantly evolving, it’s impossible for a creator to remain relevant if they don’t innovate.

    When a creator continuously innovates, they are more likely to stay relevant.  Imagine if Jimmy Diresta only made things on the band saw. Would he be as relevant as he is now?

    My guest Barany Dixion is an innovator in his field of puppetry. Barnaby is at the forefront of design, movement, video and stage production. He is a true artist.

    In this show we talk about where it all began

    Staying the course even when friends and family didn’t support you

    Barnaby unveils his process of making and idea realty

    We then get down into how he has innovated over the years in, design, production and probably the most important aspect his mindset.

Dave at Atomic Airship Works ,

Awesome Find!

Learned about this podcast on the Making It podcast and now I’m hooked! The list of guests is impressive to say the least. I just listened to the latest episode, the one with Jimmy Diresta …… twice. It was that good. The discussion was easy going, informative, thought provoking, and insightful. I’m halfway through the episode with Bob Clagett and it is just as good. This podcast is definitely on my must listen list and should be on yours. I am really looking forward to working my way through the entire catalog.
