Everyone's at a different place in their journey, right?

I don't know if it's part of age or it's part of having a family,

but I think about a lot more so now how it is that we can get products that, one,

I'll keep this thing for a long time,

but then how do you make sure that it goes to the next person

if it can be downcycled or can be upcycled or whatever else cycling there is.

I think the thing that we need to figure out is whether or not we're making purchases and investments and not just

buying ship. Oh, Hey everybody I'm your host Stephen Pulmer and this is Hodinke Radio.

I'm really excited about this

week's episode. We brought in my longtime friend and one of the co-founders of

Gear Patrol, Mr. Eric Yang. He's somebody like me who finds a lot of

meaning in the products he surrounds himself with and the products that he tells others to surround themselves with.

There's an added twist though, which is that Eric's on a bit of a minimalist kick lately,

so we're going to talk about his essentials and what value you can find in pairing down.

But before that, we've got my conversation with our own Joe Thompson talking about something that's a little bit serious.

It's what's probably the biggest news in the watch

world this year, even though it doesn't sound like it has anything to do with watches,

and that's the coronavirus. It's already had a huge impact on the watch industry

this year and that doesn't show any signs of

slowing down so Joe's here to give us his analysis and a little bit more

information to hopefully help you understand what's going on. All right let's do

this.
