Love the podcast, especially since it is so relatable! The show is well structured and thought out. With living in a creators world, it's hard to stand out, but Kate is doing it with this great show!

I like how you discuss the meaning of being a craftsman and don't necessarily come into it pre-wired with a canned answer. This format will allow your future guests to offer up their own experiences and definitions so that our view(s) will be better shaped because of them. Can't wait for the next one!

Kate brings thoughtful questions to the table on what truly makes a craftsman (or woman). As someone who has put off their "craft" for many years, this episode definitely inspired me to pick it up again. Because ultimately, we're called to serve God and our others not ourselves!
