Ben Snure and Onur Caglar are two funny guys from completely different backgrounds: A Texas Cowboy and an English Fighter who’ve both have taken the Maker world by storm. Ben had told me months ago that he and Onur had been messaging about how no one would be able to understand them if they were on a podcast together. I said we’d do it here and the first episode was hilarious! But unfortunately the audio was lost and it was never aired. A little time passed we did it again and it easily more fun

That’s right… at the last minute too. I recounted the heartache, explained my side of this kick in the nuts and apologized that it happened. I also answered some listener questions and connected some dots from my youth that holds true today. I talked podcasting, a pivotal radio bit and maybe the world’s

Mark Peacock is a custom furniture and fine woodworker in North Wales. He builds beautiful furniture and creates an experience for his customers. Mark has a great Youtube channel that shows the building of the work and his direction on the channel is different than most content creators: he’s not telling you how to do it. I love the fact that you watch what he’s doing and that’s it. That means his audience isn’t the DIY crowd; it’s his customers who ask him to do videos about their commissions a lot
