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.

Hello, hello, hello, and welcome to episode number 675.

Ooh, that's such a cool number.

Right there, halfway between 650 and 700.

I can't believe 700 episodes are just 25 episodes away.

I mean, that's just a couple of months out and we're going to be into the 700s. Wow. Anyhow,

this is episode 675 and I'm so stoked because we've got such a treat for you. I get to talk

to one of my favorite potters, John Schmidt. You may know him as John the Potter. He is a

rock star. I love what he's doing. I love his work. And I love that he's an entrepreneur. He

thinks about business and he just kind of attacks his world

with this entrepreneurial approach to life so that he creates a business and then lives

a life he wants by what the business does to support that life that he wants. And so that's all

really cool stuff. So we don't talk about that

today. It's really exciting because John is now an author. He wrote a book called Practical

Pottery and Goodnight. It's a great book. It's a great book. I've got a

copy. It's signed. I'm so stoked and honored to have a copy. And today, if you are listening to this

on the day that this is released on October 27th, 2020, then this is the official release date of his book.

And what an exciting thing.
