Episode 096: Follow Your Curiosity to Build Craftsmanship

An Artisan develops craftsmanship.  And it doesn’t stop even at mastery.  There’s always room for more growth.  What’s one way to develop craftsmanship?  By following your curiosity.  How do you do that, you ask?  Well, it’s all explained in this episode.  Not only that, but we’re talking blueberries and how sometimes quotes get just a little bit jumbled as people use them over time.

Loose Ends

I walk into the kitchen and see the kale I was going to turn into chips starting to turn brown.  I see the used food processor that I was going to give away sitting on the kitchen table.  I go into the spare bathroom and see the decorative cloth I've had “soaking” for 2 weeks.

I haven't washed it yet.

Episode 095: The Foundations of Craftsmanship

We’ve spent some time talking about what it means to be an Artisan.  To make it easy to understand, I told you there were three C’s that marked an Artisan: craftsmanship, creativity, and community.  Today we’ll dig deeper into Craftsmanship.  You’ll learn that there are three support structures upon which craftsmanship is built.  Not only that, but I’ll talk about picking raspberries, seeing, and CCO.  (You’ll find out what that is when you listen.)

The Best Blueberries Are in the Next Row

I was picking blueberries at the farm when I get my Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) box.  “Go between rows 5 and 6.  The bushes are full and they are my favorite kind. Smooth as butter and fantastic flavor.”  That’s what the farmer said as I headed out.

He was right.  The bushes were loaded with berries.
