Ep 610: business is boring-touches on a very important subject which all biz owners should be aware of! So many unique stories shared here all with valuable lessons, really crafting a tight knit community of makers!! I’m not a product maker myself, but as a PR coach for many product makers, I am always looking for resources to recommend them! @gloriachoupr

Most helpful podcast I’ve listened to in my journey to start my own business. I am so grateful to be able to listen and learn. Rebecca is a fantastic host and interviewer.

Insightful. I love listening to her conversations.

Rebecca is amazing! With honesty, forthrightness and intelligence, she combs the pottery world and finds those who are not only very experienced but also those who have recently started. She is skilled as an interviewer. I have found her podcast one of the few that I listen to from beginning to end!

I love the info on this channel. I think that the content is very relevant and useful to potters and makers in generally. My issue with this podcast is it is really pushy. I feel like there are a lot of ads and most of the time it is go to the makers community but what isn’t mentioned is it is $27 and the podcast only gives a little bit of info. Everything else makers community.

Just heard the episode with Sarah Hussaini (Not Work Related) and am now working my way through all the previous episodes. So enlightening! As someone who works alongside small biz owners (mostly makers/creatives) daily, this episode was thoughtful and thought provoking. Thank you!!

Considering a leap into taking my love of ceramics into something more. This podcast is filled with great makers whose work I love, who give invaluable tips and have tough conversations. Great find.

Love listening to this show as I’m making pottery in my home studio! The topics covered are perfect for those of us with the dream of making a living off of the things we make! Well done!

Thank you for putting this all together. I love hearing everyone’s stories! I’ve been a pediatric ICU nurse for 10 years, and pottery recently became a big part of my life because it totally de-stresses and *centers* me. When work takes an emotional toll… sometimes the only thing that makes me feel better is sitting at the wheel (and wine, duh). I don’t know if I’d ever do it full time but definitely interested in a side-biz. Anyways, thank you again! This podcast really helps me feel more connected to the art world.

Amazing collection of interviews with a wide range of makers. Mostly focused on ceramic arts, but so much also applies to makers in all fields, including my work in textiles. I really appreciate Rebecca’s thoughtful questions and curious mind.

I’ve now listened to three episodes. I love the information. The podcast style is breezy, and not annoying. But there are SO many shameless plugs for their online community. Soooooooo many. It’s way too obvious that the podcast was only created to get people to their community. That’s fine and all, but could use a little chill. I’ll have to listen to this one sparingly.

I can’t stop listening. Every episode is so different, reflective and inspirational. The way Rebecca conducts these interviews and the stories shared here are so helpful to get a realistic understanding of what are our possibilities as makers, small business owners and artists. I walk away from every episode thinking and knowing something different about the makers and myself. A true gem.

I discovered this as an amateur clay craftsman. I have a small when and self taught (books and YouTube) but much to learn at the wheel. I am much better at sculpture, being a painter and maker. (I have sold many paintings and some commissions—but I paint for the joy and not as a living). Regardless, at 55 and financially stable am thinking ahead at doing more of where my heart is—and how if my talents may sustain my next career/phase. I jumped back to year 1, episode 1 and binged for many episodes so far. I do like how external makers (outside of pottery) or different backgrounds and cultures and diversity share their successes and challenges. Enjoying this greatly and taking notes. Keep up the great work.

My favorite podcast on pottery! Love the guests and the way Rebecca leads the conversation. Thank you for egrets job!

Finding this podcast really helped me reframe some of my sales, marketing, and overall thinking for my studio. Love the guests. Each one unique and overcoming challenges in unique ways!

I love this podcast! I found it while really creatively frustrated. After listening to all of the creative entrepreneurs that join Rebecca on her on the show, I was inspired to take a new, business-minded approach towards my artwork. There is something to be learned from every episode, whether it’s how to stay true to your vision and earn money from your work without falling into the trap of producing soul-sucking tourist trinkets, to how to better photograph and market your work on the internet. It’s like a pep talk in every episode. Thank you for making this :)

I love this podcast. As an entrepreneur and maker herself, Rebecca knows what questions to ask and gives her guests the opportunity to reply without interruption. Definitely in my top 5 pods (I listen to a lot of podcasts)!

For someone considering making a life change to more pottery-this is just what I need to hear. Interesting , candid conversations with serious and established makers offer many different ways of making “it” work. The struggle is real, but so are the solutions people have found to live the life they want.

This was the podcast I was looking for! Rebecca is a great interviewer and every episode is filled with insights and humor that leave me inspired to get in the studio. Great thoughts and advice for anyone in a creative business. It’s not just about making a living, it’s about making a life.

I have been a potter for almost 50 years. I have heard a lot of interviews of potter over the years. This podcast is easy to listen to, enjoyable, and elucidating (yes, had to use an e-word.) Treat yourself and listen to a wonderful conversation between two thoughtful individuals.

Inspirational accompaniment to studio practice. Relatable and encouraging ! Thanks so much for what you do!

I love listening to this podcast. Rebecca’s energy is infectious and her guests are interesting and informative.

I really enjoy the Maker’s playbook. Her interviews are informative, professional, and often times very funny. I find myself engaged throughout the entire segment- even while I’m sitting at my pottery wheel. Well done!

I love listening to this podcast while I’m working in my studio or in the car. I’m new to podcasts, and I’ve tried a few pottery ones. This is my favorite.

I love the candor with which the host interviews guests and also takes time to distill the meaning she takes from their wisdom and boils it down practical advice for listeners. I’m so glad I found this podcast! I binge listened to all the episodes in one day!

I’ve been making digital art I have a graphic designer and for fun. I just started working with clay! This podcast is relevant to both. You have such a sweet and kind demeanor. I felt encouraged! Thank you! Ps. Instagram: Jessie.Schoenrock 😍

Loving this new podcast for makers and I can’t wait to hear more from Rebecca and her guests. Feels like having a cozy chat with good friends that just happens to be super helpful to your business. Such a nice format for a topic I usually find painful!

Helpful tips for makers. Genuine interviews. Topical discussions.

So far so good! I love that this speaks to everything I’m going through at the moment. Perfect timing!
