Summary

Today is another Handmade Edition of Let There Be Talk with my guest Jerome Mage owner and designer of the one of the best Eyewear Companies in the last 30 years Jacques Marie Mage.

This mans passion is infectious. His frames are like works of art. The craftsmanship is so far beyond anything else I've ever seen.

I have been wanting to have this man on for over a year and it finally happened and I can't thank him enough for taking the time out to talk with me on how this amazing company started.

I have been an Eyewear fanatic from an early age. Of course it has to do with Rock N Roll. Sunglasses go hand in hand with Musicians.

Sit back and enjoy this mans journey and follow his Instagram @jacquesmariemage and have your mind blown.

0:00.0	Monday July 27th and it's time for another episode of Let The Be Talk. We have made it to another week.
0:11.0	And if you're listening to the show, of course you are still alive and hopefully sane.

0:29.0	I don't know. I kind of hit a wall over the weekend. I was like, fuck. This is this is a long time.
0:42.0	And I did I'm not going to lie. I did hit some some pockets of some serious depression of like.
0:53.0	I mean, I know I know other people have some serious issues out there, but it is it is a serious thing to me.
1:01.0	I discovered something late in life that completely completely get a fire in me, stand up comedy.
1:13.0	And now it's just I don't know what's going on with it. I don't even I can't even remember how you do it.
1:26.0	I know you walk on stage and you talk on a mic, but I mean there was this thing where it was 100% engulfed in my body.
1:35.0	And it was something that I was like, wow, I found it after all these years. I found what I truly believe I was supposed to be here for.
1:49.0	And who knows.
1:53.0	But I do I will tell you one thing. I am pretty damn happy that I did find that.
2:01.0	I couldn't imagine if I never did comedy and then COVID hit and everything. And I was just kind of out there doing something I didn't enjoy.
2:11.0	And then I was like, oh, wow. This is it.
2:16.0	So I am glad that I found it and hopefully I'll get to do it again. But I guess my main point on this is I've said it thousands of times.
2:33.0	Get out there and do something you're passionate about and something that you love.
2:40.0	And that is exactly what this episode is about. And it's what every handmade episode is about.
2:50.0	It always starts with somebody that says the same thing over and over. I was just tired of doing something I didn't love.
3:02.0	There was something in me that said I've got to take a chance. It was completely scary. I didn't know what I was doing or I didn't know if it was going to be successful.

3:29.0	All the handmade people that I've had on here today is one of my favorite of all time.
