This is the Potter's Cast, a podcast home for potters everywhere.

It's a community of potters dedicated to grow their business.

We're picking up where the art degree ends.

I'm your host, Paul Blaze.

And this, my friends, is the start of episode number 1,015 of The Potter's cast. Welcome to the show. I am nothing. And I do mean that,

nothing but happy that we are having another episode together today because we've got a really

cool guest coming on the show. His name is Russell Kingston. And we're going to be

going to North Devon, which is in the southwest part of England. And we're going to have a

great conversation about being purposeful. Super important topic to think about and to talk about. And we talk about

things like, does Clay really give hope? Do you plan ahead? Do you do the planning to make

your business work? And how big is tech as a standard for your business.

And so those are the things that we kind of get into as we get to the mud beats the bat round.

But it's just a wonderful conversation with Russell.

And so I'm hoping you enjoy this conversation that I had with Russell Kingston,

and we're going to jump into it right after this word from our sponsor.

It seems like every time I turn around, Diamond Core Tools is coming out with a new

innovative tool to add to your studio. I'm thinking about the new handle forms that they've got, a whole

array of them that have shapes everywhere from just a simple C structure to a very

geometrical dynamic structure, and you can find them all over on their website. So check out

the new handle forms from diamondcore tools.com.

Russell Kingston, welcome to the Potter's cast.

Hello.
