Hotline Bling

In this episode of Self Made Pod, we’re joined by Larissa and Erik for a fun and thoughtful conversation about woodworking, creativity, and life online. We kick things off with some laughs before diving into deeper topics like handling the ups and downs of social media, dealing with negativity, and keeping their creative freedom intact in custom woodworking.

We chat about the challenges of collaboration—whether it’s tackling commissions, sharing a workspace, or teaching others—and the unique connections they’ve built with clients. Larissa and Erik share insights into the gallery scene and talk about how community plays a big role in the woodworking world.

We also touch on the joy of passion projects, the importance of a supportive network, and finding balance between work and creativity. And, of course, we couldn’t resist laughing about Erik’s playful rivalry over search engine results. It’s a relaxed, engaging chat about craft, connection, and carving your own path.
