April 15, 2026·1h 20m
Episode Description from the Publisher

Are you the kind of person who enjoys the predictable routines of life?  Or are you someone who feels the excitement of something wholly novel and new?  This preference is largely determined by our brain chemistry and risk tolerance.  Evolutionarily, a bit of BOTH is likely best as we need to lean into what is dependable and safe, but at the same time opening ourselves up to new things occasionally.  But where do Paul, Erik, and Rich fall on this contiuum?  Where do you fall on this contiuum?  Which is better for business as a professional woodworker like Erik and Rich?  Get to know the WONDERFUL woodworker/woodturner that is Richard Findley in this episode and discuss with us this idea of Novelty vs. Repetition, either as a hobbyist or a professional full time woodworker.
