#117: The Ethos of the Craftsman With Peter Korn

What is it about making things with our hands that provides so much satisfaction? Why are we so drawn to the archetype of the craftsman?

In the podcast today I talk to Peter about the ethos of craftsmanship, what craft can teach us about living the good life, and why you should get out in the garage and try building something with your hands.
